Game preview & prediction

Yokohama faces Saga on 18 November 2026 in the B League, with the model favouring Yokohama at 68% to 32% and projecting an 86-81 win; the total is expected at 166.9 points and the game has a 5% chance of overtime. Yokohama, 7-9 overall, averages 77.7 points scored and 82.9 allowed, sits 16th in the league, and at home they are 3-4 with 82.3 points for and 92.0 against; their last five games were 2-3, including a 66-75 loss away to Altiri Chiba, a 70-87 defeat at home to Kobe, and a 77-66 win away over Brave Thunders. Saga, 1-13 overall, scores 78.2 and concedes 95.2, is 25th, and on the road they are 1-4 with 77.8 points for and 93.2 against; their last five were all losses, including 103-111 at home to Chiba, 78-84 away to SeaHorses Mikawa, and 83-100 away to the same opponent. In head-to-head history Saga leads 5-1, most recently beating Yokohama 90-74 on 21 December 2025, but the model still projects a Yokohama win.
