Zhejiang Guangsha Lions vs Shanxi Loongs Fenjiu
Match: Zhejiang-Guangsha-Lions vs Shanxi-Loongs-Fenjiu (CBA QF, May 13, 2026)
CBA Quarterfinals action heats up as defending champs Zhejiang host Shanxi, with the series tied 1-1 after two tight battles. Zhejiang (33-9, 2nd) evened things up with an 86-81 G2 win, led by Brown—averaging 21.6 points and 1.9 steals—and Hu Jinqu’s 17-point, 11-rebound performance. The big blow? Sun Minghui is likely out, but Zhejiang’s home dominance (18-1 record) should keep them in control.
Shanxi started strong with a 92-90 G1 win but collapsed in G2. Diallo (16 points, 7 rebounds) and Zhang Ning (13 points) are their anchors, but Knight struggled mightily, scoring just 3 points. To make matters worse, Shanxi was fined 50k for fan misconduct, adding off-court pressure.
History is split: Shanxi won 7 of the last 10 meetings, but these two have split the series so far, with games averaging 181-182 total points (G1 over, G2 under). May 13 odds favor Zhejiang: -400 (1.25) ML, -7.5 spread; Shanxi +240 (3.40) ML, +7.5 spread; total 179.5 (O/U 1.85).
TigerScores ’s Model recommend Zhejiang’s ML or Under 179.5 for safe picks; Shanxi +7.5 is value if Diallo heats up. No blowout expected—this will be another tight playoff battle. Zhejiang’s home crowd and defense give them the edge, and they’ll look to take control of the series tonight.
