Anyang and DB have credible ways to rebuild an attack after the first pass is stopped. Anyang spread creation across its guards, while DB have leaned on Albano and Hammonds for a late scoring answer. Seoul and KT also have competing routes through the paint and the glass. Seoul's Warney-led passing can spark a run, while KT's controlled possessions can make each defensive stop matter.
Anyang's Moon Yu-hyeon, Byeon Jun-hyeong and Park Ji-hoon can share the ball-handling and pressure Albano before DB reaches Hammonds inside. DB's Ellenson missed the KT game and the coach planned for another absence; Kang played before leaving with an ankle sprain and is reported doubtful. Anyang's Mooney played against KCC before being rested at SK, so his role remains unconfirmed, while Reed has played substantial minutes. After DB's shorter recovery and heavy Albano-Hammonds minutes, Anyang's multiple guards can keep answering through the late possessions. That's why I'm siding with Anyang to win.
KT's Kang and Oczon protected the ball against DB, and Bass, Moon, Ha and Porter gave them several ways to score or collect another shot. Seoul can counter with Warney's passing, Kim's outside shooting and An's creation, yet its main group played heavy minutes in its comeback against LG. KT's long-term missing players did not appear against DB; Moon and Ha did play, and Seoul's Kim returned for substantial minutes. The middle-quarter contest on the glass should give KT enough continued possessions to answer a Seoul run. That's why I'm siding with Suwon KT to keep the final margin close.
