Teams Preview

Zhejiang Lions

Zhejiang Chouzhou enter the matchup with a clinical victory over Sichuan Blue Whales in the final game of the regular season. The Golden Bulls outscored the opposition in three quarters, including a 30-9 surge in the opening period. They extended their winning streak to four matches. Zhejiang will be at home for the first playoff assignment against the Ningbo Rockets. They qualified for the playoffs as the No. 6 seed. 

With a 18-3 record at home, the Golden Bulls would eye an early advantage in the playoffs series. It will be a best of three series and usually, the winner in the first game gets the advantage. Zhejiang posted a 27-15 record in the China CBA 2025-26. The hosts are shooting 44.7% from the floor and 34.1% from the three-point line. Zhejiang allowed 81.6 points per game in the regular season which is best in the league. Meanwhile, they averaged 86.9 points per game in the regular season. 

Six players reached double figures for them in the last game. Brandon Randolph led the scoring with 16 points. Zhejiang have a better H2H record against the Rockets but they dropped both games in the ongoing season. Cheng Shuaipeng could be an offensive threat in this fixture. The 26-year-old guard averaged 15.1 points in the regular season. We back him to score 15 or more points in the upcoming playoffs fixture against Ningbo. 

Ningbo Rockets

Ningbo Rockets head into the playoffs with a 94-78 victory against the Beijing Royal Fighters in the regular season. The visitors outscored the opposition 23-13 in the second quarter to take the decisive lead. Ningbo earlier had a six-game losing streak but two straight victories in the final two games assured them a playoff ticket. The Rockets posted a 21-21 record in CBA 2025/26. They finished 11th in the league standings. 

Ningbo are averaging 85.9 points per game and allowing 84.4 points per game. The Rockets are shooting 47.3% from the floor and 34.4% from the three-point line. They averaged 3.8 blocks per game (fifth-best). The Rockets hold a 2-0 advantage against the Golden Bulls in the ongoing season which can motivate them in the first playoff fixture. However, it won’t be an easy game. 

Ningbo are 2-8 against Zhejiang in the last ten CHA meetings. It will be their first postseason victory. The Rockets were led by Xiaoyu Liu, who scored 18 points, while Zavir Simpson added 12 points and 10 assists. If we look for an offensive threat, Zavier Simpson is the right player. The American guard averaged 17.8 points in the ongoing season. We back him to score 15 or more points in the playoff game.
