Teams Preview

Zhejiang Golden Bulls

Zhejiang Chouzhou enter this home game in 15th place with a 2–5 record, and they need to convert home court into points quickly to avoid drifting further from the mid-table cluster. Their most recent performance was encouraging: a 95–77 win over Xinjiang on December 28, one of their best two-way showings in this stretch. Returning to Hangzhou, the task is to prove that win wasn’t a one-off and that their defense can hold up for a second straight game.

The last five results shown are 2–3: Zhejiang beat Xinjiang 95–77 and beat Fujian 88–79, but lost to Ningbo Rockets 88–79, lost to Shanghai 97–77, and lost to Shanxi Zhongyu 102–91. Those scorelines highlight the key swing factor—when Zhejiang are held in the 70s, they have struggled to stay competitive, but when they get into the high 80s or 90s, they can win. That makes shot creation and ball security central, especially against a Nanjing team that has recently won with defense-first game control.

From the standings totals, Zhejiang Chouzhou have scored 629 points and allowed 650 across 7 games, which equals 89.9 points scored per game and 92.9 points allowed per game. The scoring rate shows they can generate points, but the defensive number underlines why they sit at 2–5. If Zhejiang can keep Nanjing closer to the low 80s—and avoid a repeat of the 97 and 102 conceded in recent losses—they give themselves a real platform to take a home win.

Nanjing Monkey Kings

Nanjing Tongxi arrive in Hangzhou ranked 12th at 3–4, and they have shown they can compete in the middle tier even while still ironing out consistency. Their latest result was a 99–81 win over Jiangsu Dragons on December 28, a controlled performance that produced a comfortable margin. With Zhejiang also sitting in the lower half, this matchup is a clear chance for Tongxi to add separation from the teams beneath them.

Their last five games in the screenshot show a 2–3 run: they beat Jiangsu 99–81 and beat Sichuan 84–53, but lost to Tianjin 104–76, lost to Shanxi Zhongyu 103–77, and lost to Qingdao 99–88. The pattern suggests Tongxi are most effective when they keep opponents down, as seen in holding Sichuan to 53 and Jiangsu to 81. When games open up into the high 90s or beyond, they’ve been more vulnerable, which makes Zhejiang’s fast scoring profile an immediate test.

From the table, Nanjing Tongxi have scored 631 points and allowed 644 across 7 games, translating to 90.1 points scored per game and 92.0 points allowed per game. Those numbers are close to Zhejiang’s, indicating this could come down to execution and which team strings stops together for longer stretches. If Tongxi can disrupt Zhejiang’s rhythm early and keep the game from turning into a track meet, they’ll have a strong chance to steal a road result.

Winning Prediction

Both teams have similar season scoring profiles through seven games, but Zhejiang’s recent 95–77 win and their stronger head-to-head scoring average in the listed meetings give them a slight edge at home. If Zhejiang avoid defensive collapses and keep Tongxi from getting easy early points, they should have enough offense to edge a close, high-scoring game in Hangzhou.
