Guangdong Southern Tigers by 6
Let's dive into this tale of two cities we've got here. The Guangdong Southern Tigers are rolling into town to take on the Sichuan Blue Whales.
Taking a look at the Guangdong's firepower, your eyes immediately get drawn to the dynamic duo of Troy Gillenwater and Eric Moreland. Gillenwater piled up an impressive 24 points a game last month along with 9.5 boards. Moreland cleaned the boards with 14 rebounds per game while dropping 15 points a game. Not too shabby. Jie Xu, the local assist machine, was dishing out 11.5 assists per game.
Over to the Sichuan squad, folks, Edmond Sumner’s recent crease-burning exploits, hitting an impressive 39 points per game last month, should have the Tigers defence losing some sleep tonight. Let's not forget about Marcus Georges-Hunt who's been consistently hitting the 20 point mark.
Now, record-wise, Giants have a slight advantage with 6 wins versus the Whales' 3. They're sitting prettier in 9th place, while the Whales are languishing in 16th place. Not much comfort there for Sichuan supporters.
And if we jump into the DeLorean and look at the recent clashes between these two, it's been a story of the Guangdong Southern Tigers coming out on top each time. The latest one being a close-fought 105-100 arm wrestling contest.
As we look at recent results from other contests, the Guangdong Southern Tigers do seem to have hit a rough patch with a couple of unfortunate losses, but let's remember folks, everyone has a bad day at the office sometimes. The Sichuan Blue Whales, on the other hand, are finding it slightly harder to keep their heads above water with more losses than they'd care to admit.
Given the payout odds, and my gut feeling after digesting a questionable burrito for lunch, here's my best (educated) guess for tonight:
