My Prediction
Nanjing Monkey Kings by 6In this next Chinese Basketball Association matchup, we have the Nanjing Monkey Kings taking on the Sichuan Blue Whales. There's a lot of anticipation around this game, the whispers and secret nods indicate a clear favorite but feels like the game might turn on its ear.
Let's look at the Monkey Kings, first. These guys have been working hard and bringing the numbers that count. Kendric Davis has been acing with a last month average of 24.5 points per game and assists averaging 10.5 per game. Mr. Davis has been spreading points like peanut butter, smooth. Then there's Lin Wei and T.J. Leaf. Solid players, both with an average of 24 and 18.8 points per game, respectively.
Now, Sichuan's got some power-players too. Edmond Sumner's been sparking the court with 30.5 points on an average per game last month, while Marin Maric has been sweeping the virtual cobwebs off the rim with 23.4 points on an average.
But ya know, history's got its own tale to tell. Any basketball connoisseur glancing at their past matchups will see an edge in favor of the Monkey Kings, especially considering that 22-22 season record. The Blue Whales? More like blue snails with their slow 9-35 record.
The recent games have shown a contrasting tale where Nanjing standing strong with victories against Guangdong Southern Tigers and the Fujian Sturgeons, whereas Sichuan swimming into choppy waters with losses against Xinjiang Flying Tigers, Shandong Heroes, and Shanxi Loongs.
Standings are just that, stands. But numbers don't lie. With the Kings standing at #12 and the Whales breaching at #18, it's not hard to see who's been chalking up the points in this grueling season.
Taking the court dynamics and stats into account, I see one team swinging that victory flag.
