Teams Preview

Nanjing Monkey Kings

Tongxi enter this contest 2–2 after an impressive 84–53 road win over Sichuan, responding well to narrow losses against Qingdao and Guangdong. Playing their first home game since that surge in defensive form, they will look to build early-season momentum in front of the Nanjing crowd.

Forward Brady Manek has been Tongxi’s most productive scorer, averaging 19.3 points and 7.8 rebounds with 45.0% shooting from three. Wing Haowen Guo adds 22.8 points with 4.3 assists as a dynamic slasher and playmaker, while Richard Solomon contributes 12 points and 8.5 boards as a strong interior finisher.

Tongxi’s attack is built on spacing and shooting: Manek and Guo stretch the floor, and the team has multiple threats capable of hitting from deep. To upset Shanxi, Tongxi must keep turnovers in check and maintain the defensive intensity that held Sichuan to just 53 points.

Nanjing Monkey Kings Spread Predictions

Shanxi Loongs

Shanxi come in 3–1 after a 99–92 home win over Tianjin, extending a run that includes victories against Ningbo Rockets and Nanjing Tongxi in last season’s closing stretch. Their only defeat so far came in a tight road game against Zhejiang Guangsha, underlining their strong early form.

Forward Hamidou Diallo leads Shanxi with 18.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, providing all round impact on both ends. Guard Jaylen Nowell adds 13.3 points as a perimeter scorer, while big man Chuanxing Liu contributes 13 points and 7.7 rebounds on efficient 52.2% shooting inside.

Shanxi’s scoring is well balanced, with six players averaging at least 8 points, making them difficult to game plan against defensively. If they can control the defensive boards and limit Guo’s penetration, their superior depth and recent chemistry could carry them to another road victory.
