Veltex Shizuoka

Shizuoka recently got a breakthrough victory against the Ehime Orange Vikings but again, lost the momentum. They are coming off a 75-89 loss to Fukui in the first of a two-game set. The Veltex recently made a sweep over Aomiri. Shizuoka now extended their losing streak to three matches. They recently had a three-game winning streak. During the last season, they had a six-game winning streak in the regular season. It summarises the value of the Veltex. 

The Veltex are 14-41 in the regular season and are already out from the playoffs. They are on the verve of finishing at the bottom spot in the conference table. If they get a couple of wins, they can give Nara a tough time in the table. Shizuoka are 9-20 at home this season and 1-2 against Fukui.

The veteran averaged 12.8 points in B2 League. We are backing him to score over 15 points in this fixture.

Fukui Blowwinds

Fukui are high on confidence after a clinical victory against Shizuoka in the first of a two-game set. The hosts have been pretty dominant against the non-playoff teams. Like, they smashed Yamagata five out of five times. The Blowwinds have seven wins and three defeats in the last ten games.

The Blowwinds had a 15-point lead and never trailed in the game. Ryan Kelly could be a player to watch out for in the upcoming game. The American star crossed the 20-point mark 14 times this season and averaged 16.4 points per game. We back Kelly to score 15 or more points in the home game. Fukui would fancy their chances as they have beaten the Veltex twice.
