This is a clash of styles: a defence-first home side against one of the highest-scoring teams in the league. Kyoto's games run around 163 combined points, Levanga's near 193, so the real question is whose tempo wins out.
Kyoto concedes only about 78 a game and its offence is modest, with weak free-throw shooting. Levanga scores about 97 with strong shooting from the field and deep, but its away games have been the high-scoring ones, from the 170s up to the high 190s. The midpoint of the two sides' combined averages sits below the posted number.
The home side usually controls tempo, and Kyoto's three straight losses came in low-scoring road games that show how slow it likes to play. Levanga's big shootouts have come against faster opponents. That's why I'm siding with the game staying under the total.
