Fujian enter this game after a 109-104 win over Beijing, shooting 48% from the field and 44% from three-point range in one of their better offensive performances recently. QJ Peterson led the scoring with 38 points, while Yang Zou added 25 points and 10 rebounds, showing strong inside support. The team recorded only 7 turnovers, which is a positive sign considering their season average is higher.
Overall, Fujian average 90.3 points per game but allow 93.4, which explains their negative record. Their defense allows 48.3% opponent field goal shooting, one of the weaker marks in the league. They do create steals at a good rate, but poor perimeter defense remains a problem. Against stronger defensive teams, their scoring often becomes inconsistent.
At home, Fujian rely heavily on Peterson’s scoring and fast pace. If their shooting drops below 45%, they usually struggle to keep games close.
Qingdao come into this matchup after a dominant 102-69 win over Jiangsu, shooting 52% from the field and controlling the game from start to finish. Quinnndary Weatherspoon scored 27 points with 7 assists, while Jordan Mickey added a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, showing strong balance on both ends. The team also recorded 23 assists and only 4 turnovers, indicating efficient ball movement.
Season numbers show Qingdao are one of the better defensive teams, allowing only 81.1 points per game and holding opponents to 44.4% shooting. They also allow just 31.4% from three, which is a key advantage against a Fujian team that relies on perimeter scoring. Qingdao average fewer points than Fujian, but their efficiency and defense usually decide games.
Depth is also stronger for Qingdao, with multiple players capable of scoring double digits, which makes them less dependent on one player.

Fujian have slightly improved recent form, winning three of their last four games. Their offense has been productive during this stretch, including the 109-104 win over Beijing where they shot efficiently from both inside and beyond the arc.
When Fujian reach around 45% shooting or higher, they are capable of keeping pace with stronger teams. However, their overall season numbers still show defensive problems, as they allow over 93 points per game and struggle to contain teams with good passing and perimeter movement.
Qingdao have won the last five head-to-head meetings and average over 117 points in those matchups. Their defense allows only 81.1 points per game and holds opponents to around 44% shooting, which is a strong contrast to Fujian’s defensive numbers. If Qingdao control the pace, limit turnovers, and keep their shooting efficiency near season level, they should have the overall edge in this matchup.
Qingdao Eagles stand in 7th position in the CBA standings with a 16-11 record, holding a 59.3% win rate, which keeps them inside the playoff positions. Fujian Sturgeons are 14th with an 11-16 record and a 40.7% win rate, leaving them outside the playoff zone and under pressure to improve results to stay competitive.
Qingdao have dominated the last five meetings against Fujian winning all five games. These games produced an average total of 219.4 points, with Qingdao scoring 117.6 per game and Fujian averaging 101.8. The head-to-head trend shows consistently high scoring matchups.
| Player Name | Points | Rebounds | Assists | Steals/Blocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Travis Trice | 15.6 | 2.7 | 5.1 | 1.5/0.1 |
| Quinndary Weatherspoon | 23.1 | 4.6 | 6.2 | 1.4/0.4 |
Qingdao are favored to win this matchup having the more balanced team, stronger defensive record, and a clear head-to-head advantage in recent seasons. If they maintain their usual shooting efficiency and limit mistakes, they remain the stronger side even away from home.
Qingdao to win.
