One of the key matchups at the forward spots this week will see Gediminas Orelik of Lietkabelis Panevezys face Amine Noua of MoraBanc Andorra.
Major matchup: Orelik, Lietkabelis vs. Noua, Andorra



Orelik is Lietkabelis’s leading scorer this season with 15.8 points per game. He has also contributed 4.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals. Orelik scored 23 points on 5-of-7 three-point shooting, grabbed 7 rebounds and collected 3 steals against Andorra when they met in Round 7. He comes off his worst performance of the season; Orelik was held to a season-low 7 points on 1-of-7 shooting last week against Joventut Badalona and will look to bounce back against Andorra.

Noua, who joined Andorra last summer from LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, has averaged 6.3 points and 2.8 rebounds this season as a part-time starter. He has been through a rough patch with a pair of scoreless outings in his last two games. However, Noua has the skills to stick with Orelik on defense. On offense, he is an inside-outside threat, too, and a big game from the forward in Lithuania this week would greatly boost Andorra’s chances.
