Still waiting for the winning consistency are AJ Edu and the Nagasaki Velca.

Edu and Nagasaki aim to string consecutive wins as they tangle with the Fighting Eagles Nagoya in back-to-back weekends of the 2024-25 Japan B.League season.

The 25-year-old big man has yet to reach double-digit scoring in two months, as Nagasaki struggled to search for consistency after winning just two in their last 10 games. 

 

However, momentum is on the side of Edu and his squad, who are coming off a dominating 96-74 beatdown of the Shimane Susanoo Magic. That repelled a 78-69 defeat in their first meeting. 

Now sitting at sixth place in the Western Conference with a 15-20 record, Nagasaki is in desperate search of turning their season around for a late playoff push. 

Nagoya, meanwhile, heads into the matchup riding high off a 89-80 upset over the Gunma Crane Thunders that snapped their five-game losing skid.
