All right, let's dive in the deep end and swim with the sharks. We've got ourselves a snappy brouhaha. The Shanxi Loongs are taking on the Guangdong Southern Tigers. Based on the latest sports almanac, the Loongs seem to have an upper hand in this one. They've managed to pull 9 wins out of their 12 games this season, while the Tigers have trudged through the halfway mark with a score of 6-6.
Now, who says basketball is not a game of numbers? Shanxi's high-achiever, Brandon Goodwin, was flamethrowin' last month, stacking up a considerable 32 points per game. But hold your horses, Shuai Yuan too carried his own weight scoring 22.5 points per game. The Guangdong side has their work cut out. However, let's not forget the wonder boy, Troy Gillenwater. He managed an impressive 27.0 points per game last month, making him one to watch on the court.
The past match-ups have been erratic, akin to a cat chasing its tail. It resembles a seesaw tethering back and forth with the Loongs clutching their pearls in the recently concluded match. But fret not, I remember the Tigers ripping the victory back in Jan 2024.
Well, I predict that this game will follow suit of their recent plays and is likely to end in favor of the ones that have been consistent, the Shanxi Loongs. An educated guess would be a 6 point lead.
Albert’s Prediction: Shanxi Loongs by 6
