CIUDAD DE MEXICO (Interstat) — The Jal. Astros, riding a dominant 71-11 season record, visit Ciudad de Mexico on Tuesday night in a Mexican CIBACOPA matchup, looking to extend their recent mastery over the 23-25 home side.

The Astros have won four consecutive meetings against Ciudad de Mexico, including 99-87 and 107-87 victories on June 5 and 6. In the most recent game, Jal. center Chris Perry posted 20 points and 11 rebounds in 22 minutes, while Tyran de Lattibeaudiere added 19 points and 10 rebounds and Mikh McKinney scored 17 points.

Perry has been a consistent force for the Astros. Over his last 10 games, the center has averaged about 12 points and six rebounds in limited minutes, often resting in blowout wins. He scored 25 points with 11 rebounds in a 105-103 win at Culiacan on May 29 and recorded a double-double in three of his last five outings. Perry’s efficiency in the paint has been key for a Jal. team that has won 10 of its last 11 games, with the lone loss coming against Culiacan on May 22.

Ciudad de Mexico, meanwhile, enters the game having lost four of its last five, including back-to-back defeats at Jal. The home side’s most recent victory came in overtime against Tijuana on June 1, 80-78.

Guard Dayon Griffin has been the bright spot for Ciudad de Mexico. In Saturday’s loss to Jal., Griffin played 38 minutes and scored 28 points with four rebounds and six assists, accounting for nearly a third of his team’s points. Over his last five games, Griffin has averaged 17.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists, though his shooting efficiency has varied. He scored 21 points against Tijuana on May 22 but struggled to 5 points on 2-of-12 shooting in a 105-61 loss to Jal. on May 16.

Tuesday’s game will be the sixth meeting between the teams this season. Jal. holds a 5-0 record in those games, winning by an average margin of 25.6 points. The Astros have scored at least 99 points in each of the last three contests, while Ciudad de Mexico has averaged 72.3 points in those matchups.

Jal. has already clinched the season series, but with the playoffs approaching, both teams are jockeying for position. The Astros are vying for the top seed in the CIBACOPA standings, while Ciudad de Mexico is looking to build momentum and avoid a sixth straight loss to its division rival.

Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. local time at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico.
