Overall, Motiejunas is making 66.1% of his two-pointers this season, following on his 63.5% accuracy last season. However, in the three games against Tavares and Real, that number went down to 47.4%.
Motiejunas has been more efficient on two-point shooting than Tavares this season and just this week scored 22 points on 9-for-10 shooting in just 20 minutes against ALBA Berlin, marking his best 2022-23 performance yet.
Tavares enters this game as the league's top shot-blocker, with 2.6 per game, while also ranking third in rebounds (7.3). However, his EuroLeague-record streak of 26 consecutive games with at least 1 blocked shot was snapped on Wednesday against Panathinaikos Athens.
With two overtime games in their most recent past and tonight's showdown full of playoff implications, expect two of the EuroLeague's best big men to be ready to make serious impact once again.
