Maccabi needs to respond from a 35-point mauling at Fenerbahce last week, while Virtus has won seven of its last eight games. Marco Belinelli drained 22 points when the Italian team beat Maccabi in Round 13, and he'll be looking to extend a run of seven straight games netting multiple triples. Maccabi loves to crash the boards and leads the league in offensive rebounding, so Toko Shengelia and co. will have to work hard to protect their backboard.
