Teams Preview

Yamagata Wyverns

Yamagata made a comeback after that defeat to Aomiri in the first of a two-game set. They secured consecutive victories in the league. They are coming off a comprehensive victory over Shizuoka in the first encounter. The Wyverns recently snapped a three-game losing skid. The Wyverns are 3-4 through the last seven games. They previously went on a 14-game losing skid so current form gives them a bonus feeling. 

The Wyverns will now stay home for the second of a two-game set against Shizuoka. Meanwhile, they are already from the playoffs. Yamagata now improved to 14-43 in the Eastern Conference. They are the third team to lose 40 games in the ongoing season. Yamagata are allowing 83.4 points in the regular season which is third-highest by any team. Yamagata have gone 10-17 at home this season. 

The visitors were shooting 36% from the floor and 35% from the three-point line in the last game. The visitors are fifth in three-points made per game (9.1). Yamagata averaged 74.3 points per game. The visitors are averaging 2.3 blocks per game and just 5.2 steals per game (second-lowest). James Bell could be an offensive threat from Yamagata. The veteran star averaged 15.9 points this season. We back him to score 15 or more points against Shizuoka.

Veltex Shizuoka

Shizuoka got a breakthrough victory against the Ehime Orange Vikings but they showed lack of consistency again. The Veltex dropped their fifth consecutive game in the league. They are coming off a 86-89 loss to Yamagata in the first of a two-game set. Shizuoka extended their losing streak to five matches. They recently had a three-game winning streak. During the last season, they had slightly better numbers. 

The Veltex are 14-43 in the regular season and are already eliminated from the playoffs. They are on the verge of finishing at the bottom spot in the conference table, thanks to Nara’s rejuvenated form. If they get a couple of wins, they can give Nara a tough time at the table. Shizuoka are 5-22 on the road this season. However, they have a solid record against Yamagata as they beat them two out of three times this season. 

Shizuoka shot 41.2% from the floor and 30.2% from the three-point line this season. The visitors averaged 71.9 points in the league and allowed 80.9 points per game. They rank 7th in total rebounds (39.1) and 10th in turnovers (12.5). Kenny Lawson could be an offensive threat as well. The veteran averaged 12.8 points in B2 League. We are backing him to score over 15 points in this fixture. The Veltex are 6-4 against the Wyverns in the last ten regular season games.
