Shanxi Brave Dragons - Xinjiang Flying Tigers Basketball prediction

This is a close game in my opinion. Shanxi Brave Thunders is the underdog and tipped to suffer defeat but I reckon they could pull a big surprise for many reasons. With so much time to prepare for this game both teams ought to be in the best shape possible at least on the physical side of things. Xinjiang Flying Tigers is the favourite but they aren't dominant on the road as evident in their record with 7 wins and 11  defeats in 18 games. Their goal difference is -37. Barring a poor performance from Shanxi Brave Dragons I back them to cover this handicap in ordinary time all things being equal.
