Beijing Royal Fighters by 17
Let's dive straight into the deep end of this Beijing Royal Fighters v Guangzhou Loong Lions showdown, shall we? Here we have the extravagantly named Royal Fighters sporting quite the squad. Grant Riller, the man who's been dropping points like they're hot, scoring a whopping 33 points per game last month! And we can't forget the glass-cleaner, Jared Sullinger, the rebound sensation with 11.2 per game. Beijing's arsenal is only enhanced by Travis Trice and Fan Zhang, giving consistent performances last month.
Now, while Guangzhou is having a bear market season sitting at #18, they do have Ailun Guo, who's not only been an eye-popping scoring machine but also a provider with 12 assists per game. Tahjere McCall and Davion Warren have had impressive contributions but the Lions' overall claws seem a bit blunt, wouldn't you say?
Let's take a trip down memory lane, where Beijing has historically had the Lion tamers on-call, edging out Guangzhou in their past matchups. Those victories weren't just a fluke, those royal robes aren't for show; they're sitting at #10 in the standings! Recent results tell a similar tale with Beijing coming off some rousing wins against Shenzhen Leopards and the Jiangsu Dragons, whereas the Guangzhou Loong Lions seem to be on an extended sightseeing trip, forgetting to win games in the process.
Considering all the signs, I'd recommend peering through the Beijing Royal Fighters' binoculars because this looks to be their game to lose.
