To secure the head-to-head advantage, Joventut needs to win by 5 points or more following a 103-99 loss to Hapoel in Round 8. Xavier Munford netted 31 points to outgun Andres Feliz (24 points) in that meeting and their backcourt battle will again be crucial. Munford is looking to extend a seven-game run of double-digit scoring, while Feliz had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in last week's narrow loss at Paris.
