Osaka Evessa

Osaka Evessa are back to B. League after a three-week break. The hosts would be in action against the Chiba Jets. Osaka would eye a fresh start following a five-game losing skid. They dropped their most recent game against Kyoto 79-93 and also lost the regular-season series. It will be a two-game set at home and Osaka would eye a comeback in the league. With regular defeats, Osaka now fell to 15-24 in the B. League 2026-26.

Matt Bonds was the top scorer with 24 points and seven assists. Ray Parks Jr added 13 points and six rebounds. Makoto Kinoshita dropped 12 points, while Cyril Nesmith chipped in with ten points. Matt Bonds could be an offensive threat for Osaka. The 30-year-old averaged 22.8 points in the B. League 2025/26. He scored 20 plus points in five of the last eight games. We back Bonds to drop 20 or more points in the home fixture.

Chiba Jets also lost their final two-game set before going into the international break. The Jets suffered a 94-104 defeat to San-en Neophoenix and dropped the regular-season series as well. Chiba will resume their campaign with a two-game set against Osaka this weekend. The Jets are sitting third in the Eastern Conference with an impressive 27-12 record. Following the break in January, Chiba played nine games and won just three.

Only three players reached double figures for the Jets. Riku Segawa also contributed nine points off the bench. Little could be an offensive threat in this game due to his impressive form. The USA-born averaged 18.3 points in the last ten games, including three double-doubles. We are backing him to score 25 or more points in this fixture.
