Zhejiang Golden Bulls VS Sichuan Jinqiang Blue Whales

The game will be played at 19:35 Beijing time on January 12, 2026, hosted by the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) League, against Zhejiang Jinniu (home team) and Sichuan Jinqiang Blue Whale (away team). The betting direction that users pay attention to is "Over/Small", with a total score of less than 172.5 points and odds of 1.83.

As a traditional strong team in the league, Zhejiang Jinniu's recent record is expected to be relatively good, with a fast pace and outstanding scoring ability at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but when facing opponents with weaker defense, big score results are more common. The overall strength of Sichuan Jinqiang Blue Whale is in the middle and lower reaches of the league, and the recent record may fluctuate greatly, conceding more points on the defensive end, and relying on the performance of foreign aid and individual domestic players on the offensive end. The recent style of play of both teams will directly affect whether the total score can be below 172.5.

Looking back at the past head-to-head records of the two teams, Zhejiang Golden Bulls usually have a clear advantage in strength. In historical matchups, due to the fast transition between offense and defense, the pace of the game is often fast, and the total score is often high. However, the total score of each game still needs to be analyzed in combination with the completeness of the lineup, tactical execution and on-the-spot state at that time.

are for over/under markets with a total score of less than 172.5, and the odds offered in this game are all 1.83. This is an equilibrium level, indicating that the data agency initially judged that the probability of the total score fluctuating around 172.5 was comparable, and there was no clear inclination towards large or small scores. This usually means that there may be some uncertainties in the game, such as one side may deliberately control the tempo or the offensive efficiency of both sides is questionable.

In terms of predictions, it is challenging to predict whether the total score of this game will be less than 172.5. Zhejiang's strong offensive firepower is the main factor driving up the total score, and Sichuan's defense is difficult to effectively limit it. However, if Zhejiang establishes an early lead and slows down the pace and exercises the lineup in the second half, or if Sichuan's attack is completely dumb, the possibility of small points will increase. Given the balanced odds and Zhejiang's usual style of play, the probability of a total score over 172.5 seems slightly higher, but the "under 172.5" option has investment value due to its high odds, which is more of a risk-reward betting direction.

Based on the above analysis, choosing "no bet" is a more prudent strategy. The main reasons are: first, the core contradiction lies in the boundary between the Zhejiang team's strong offense and the over/under market of 172.5, and it is difficult to judge the direction; second, the odds of 1.83 do not provide enough value to compensate for the risk taken; third, the score of basketball games is highly volatile, and factors such as on-the-spot tactical changes and player feel may instantly change the trend of the score, making the pre-game prediction uncertain.
