Teams Preview
Hiroshima Dragonflies
Hiroshima head into this matchup following a convincing 104-91 win over Altiri Chiba, with key contributions from Dwayne Evans 26 points, Chris Smith 21 points, and Nick Mayo 19 points, while Ryo added 15 points. The team shot 51% from the field and recorded 21 assists, reflecting solid but not dominant ball movement across the lineup.
Offensively, Hiroshima average 86.7 points per game on 46.0% shooting, supported by solid perimeter accuracy at 34.3%. Their strength lies in disciplined shot selection and transition execution, allowing them to consistently push scoring into the higher range. Defensively, they concede 83.1 points per game, reflecting a stable but not dominant unit, with occasional lapses in perimeter coverage.
In terms of form, Hiroshima have won 7 of their last 10 matches, underlining strong momentum entering this contest. This consistent run, combined with their efficient offensive structure and depth, positions them as a more reliable and balanced side heading into this matchup.
Osaka Evessa
Osaka lost 76-93 the previous match to Toyama, with contributions from players Makoto Kinoshita 12 points, Hayato Maki 10 points, Matt Bonds 10 points, Ryan Luther 10 points, and Seiga Sakamoto 10 points. Although multiple players reached double figures, the team struggled to keep pace defensively and failed to match Toyama’s overall efficiency.
Offensively, Osaka average 80.0 points per game on 44.0% shooting, but their recent output has dropped to around 77 points per game. Their three-point shooting at 31.3% remains a limitation, reducing scoring flexibility.
While they maintain decent ball movement with 21.3 assists per game, finishing efficiency continues to be a concern. Defensively, conceding 82.5 points per game reflects an average unit, though recent performances suggest vulnerability against structured and high-efficiency offenses.
In terms of form, Osaka have managed just 2 wins in their last 10 matches, indicating a clear downward trend. This lack of consistency, combined with offensive struggles and defensive lapses, makes them a less reliable side heading into this matchup despite a slightly favorable head-to-head record.

Hiroshima hold a clear advantage playing at home, where their structured offense and scoring consistency become more effective. They have shown better momentum in recent games and have been more stable than Osaka.
The recent win over Altiri Chiba highlighted their offensive rhythm and efficiency, which should translate well against a defense that has struggled to contain scoring runs. In contrast, Osaka have lacked consistency in recent performances, especially on the offensive end, where scoring production has been unreliable.
Statistically, Hiroshima’s edge is visible in scoring output, shooting efficiency, and recent form trends. Their 46.0% field goal accuracy compared to Osaka’s 44.0% may seem close, but combined with higher scoring volume and better three-point efficiency, it creates a noticeable gap. Osaka’s recent average of 77 points per game further shows their offensive difficulty.
While Osaka have had some success in previous meetings, current form points toward Hiroshima having the stronger overall profile, with their offensive consistency likely to make the difference in this matchup.
Hiroshima are positioned 11th in the league standings with a 26-18 record, maintaining a positive win rate and competitive mid-table presence. Osaka sit 16th with a 17-27 record, reflecting a significantly weaker season performance and ongoing inconsistency, particularly against higher-ranked teams.
Osaka lead 3-2. The average total points stand at 171.4, indicating moderately high-scoring encounters. Osaka average 88.2 points per game in these matchups, while Hiroshima average 83.2, showing Osaka’s historical scoring edge despite recent form favoring Hiroshima.
