Recap
Huima find themselves in serious turmoil, having suffered six consecutive defeats and now languishing in the penultimate position, just four points clear of the bottom of the standings. Their predicament is further exacerbated by the absence of their standout player and leading scorer, American forward Malachi Rhodes (21.3 PPG, 12.1 RPG, 2.7 APG). His unavailability represents a substantial blow to a side already struggling for stability and competitiveness.
In contrast, Kipin occupy second place and arrive in formidable form, boasting an impressive 8-1 record on the road. Their consistency and offensive efficiency suggest they possess more than enough quality to cover the proposed line. Notably, in their November 2025 meeting, Kipin secured a commanding 99-77 victory – a game in which Rhodes led Huima with 18 points.
