Two of the best and most effective centers in the competition face each other in Round 15: Mike Tobey of Valencia Basket and Mitchell Watt of Umana Reyer Venice.
Major matchup: Tobey, Valencia vs. Watt, Reyer



Watt is in his fifth consecutive season with Reyer and keeps posting strong numbers as the team's starting center. He is averaging 11.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 steal and a PIR of 13.0 in 12 games. Watt did not have his best night against Valencia in Round 6, finishing the game with 8 points on 3 of 7 two-point shooting, 3 rebounds and 8 fouls drawn for a PIR of 7 in a 67-81 losing effort. Watt needs to bring out his best version to give Reyer more chances to beat Valencia in the ever-difficult La Fonteta.

Tobey is tied for seventh in rebounds (7.1 rpg.) and leads the league on a per-40-minute basis (15.1). He made his season debut against Reyer in Round 6 and had a strong contribution in his team's victory: 16 points on 5-of-6 two-point shooting and 2-of-3 on three-pointers, 8 rebounds and a PIR of 19. He must use his size and mobility in this interesting matchup.
