Jal. Astros vs. Guaymas

GUAYNABO, Puerto Rico (Interstat) — The Guaymas Ostioneros look to snap a two-game skid against the Jalisco Astros when the teams meet Tuesday night at Gimnasio Municipal Guaymas in a CIBACOPA matchup.

Jal. Astros (51-9) enter with the league’s best record, having won 10 of their last 11 games. They are coming off a dominant 122-74 victory over the Venados on Saturday, in which center Chris Perry posted 21 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists in 18 minutes. Perry, a key player for the Astros, has averaged 12.9 points and 6.1 rebounds over his last eight appearances, including a 24-point, 8-rebound effort against Obregon on April 14.

Guaymas (12-15) has struggled for consistency but earned a 104-93 road win Saturday, with forward Gage Davis contributing 25 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Davis has been the Ostioneros’ most productive player, scoring at least 22 points in five of his last six games, including a 30-point outing against Ciudad de Mexico on April 8.

The teams have met twice this season, both in March, with Jal. Astros winning 96-88 on March 3 and 90-80 on March 2. The Astros have won eight consecutive games overall, while Guaymas has split its last four.

Other contributors for Jal. Astros include point guard Trey Burke, who had 19 points and 4 assists in Saturday’s win, and power forward Tyran de Lattibeaudiere, who added 20 points and 4 rebounds. For Guaymas, shooting guard Jimond Ivey scored 26 points in the team’s last outing, and center Johnny Hamilton added 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The Astros’ depth has been a factor all season. In their previous meeting with Guaymas, Jal. Astros held the Ostioneros to 88 and 80 points, respectively, while averaging 93 points of their own. Perry’s efficiency in the paint and Burke’s playmaking will be critical against a Guaymas defense that has allowed 108.3 points per game over its last three contests.

Guaymas will rely on Davis to generate offense, especially with the team’s recent struggles on the road. The Ostioneros are 6-8 at home this season, while Jal. Astros are 26-4 away.

Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. local time. The game is the first of a two-game series, with the teams playing again Wednesday.
