Liaoning Flying Leopards enter this CBA regular-season matchup at home with a perfect 2-0 record, fresh off a narrow 97-93 road win over Qingdao where import Sharife Cooper posted 27 points and seven assists. The four-time champions feature a balanced roster including Marquese Chriss and Hao Fu, and they have dominated Sichuan in recent head-to-heads by double-digit margins. Sichuan Blue Whales also stand at 2-0 after ending a 47-game losing streak with victories over Tianjin and Jilin, yet remain a rebuilding side with limited depth against top competition. The home venue in Shenyang and Liaoning’s superior experience and recent form shape trader expectations for a decisive home result, though Sichuan’s early momentum offers a narrow path for competitiveness.
