Teams Preview
Kobe Storks
Kobe enter this matchup as the most consistent team across the B2 League. Their 20-2 record speaks to their balance on both ends, averaging 85.5 points, 40.9 rebounds, and 19.2 assists per game, numbers that place them among the best in the league. Their recent form has been equally impressive, winning four of their last five.
Yoeli Childs remains the focal point of Kobe’s offense, averaging 18.1 points and 11.7 rebounds, leading the team in both categories. Shuto Terazono adds valuable perimeter scoring at 14 points per game, while Rawle Alkins chips in with 12.9 points and 6.1 rebounds.
Kobe also dominated the previous meeting with Shizuoka, winning 82–63 behind strong shooting and defensive pressure. With superior depth, size, and momentum, Kobe enter this contest as heavy favorites and will look to maintain their cushion atop the Western Conference.
Veltex Shizuoka
Shizuoka arrive struggling to halt a difficult run, sitting last in the conference at 3-19 with no wins in their last nine outings. Their most recent result was an 81-70 loss to Nara, a game where they again faltered offensively and faded in the second half. Prior defeats to Yokohama (61–96, 68–73) and Shinshu (46–78, 64–76) underline their season-long issues: inconsistent scoring and defensive gaps.
Despite the results, individual performers continue to shine. Tim Schneider leads the team with 12.2 points and 8.3 rebounds, while Angus Brandt adds 11.1 points and a team-best 9 rebounds. Chris-Ebou Ndow offers additional scoring at 10.9 points per game and 5.7 rebounds. However, Shizuoka’s season averages - 66.4 points, 35.1 rebounds, and 17.6 assists - trail Kobe significantly.

KOBE STORKS vs VELTEX SHIZUOKA
Winning Prediction
Kobe are overwhelming favorites. Their superior scoring (85.5 PPG vs. Shizuoka’s 66.4 PPG), rebounding edge, and elite form point towards another comfortable home win. Shizuoka’s defensive issues and shooting inconsistencies make an upset highly unlikely unless they produce one of their best games of the season.
Kobe to win.
