Wonju can build a second pick action through Alvano and Hammonds, while Seoul has separate interior and late guard options. The interior matchup has changed since their previous meeting. A tight first half can give way to a decisive third-quarter stretch, with the next defensive rebound important after each reply.
Wonju's Alvano and Hammonds can reach a second pick action and draw fouls, but Seoul's Kanter and McCullough have already created inside against this pairing. Ellenson scored heavily in their previous meeting and is reported unavailable for this one; he also missed Wonju's last game, when the replacement center had a short, foul-heavy spell. Kanter played strongly in Seoul's latest game, and Lee Kwan-hee supplied a separate late scoring response. Seoul's inside touches can shape the third quarter, while its guards can answer Wonju's outside reply. That's why I'm siding with Seoul Thunders.
