In hopes of ending a mini slump, Matthew Wright and the Kawasaki Brave Thunders plunge back to action against the powerhouse Chiba Jets in the Japan B.League play.

Despite winning just once in their last five games, Wright registered three double-digit scoring outings in that stretch including producing a season-high 27 points in a 110-98 loss over the San-en NeoPhoenix.  

Kawasaki is at the bottom of the Central Conference with a 14-31 record with 15 games left.

Meanwhile, Chiba is still running for the two wildcard playoff spots and are peaking at the right time winning four of their last five games. 

The Jets are parading a 30-15 record, good for the no. 3 spot in the East. They shared the same record with SeaHorses Mikawa with the two in running to secure the final two playoff wildcards.
