Zvezda will look for recent signing Javonte Smart to continue his strong start after scoring 11 and 14 points in his first two games, while Valencia’s new backcourt arrival Kevin Pangos has been slower to settle with an average of just 1.7 points over his three appearances. December’s meeting between the teams was an exciting back-and-forth affair eventually taken by Valencia, 85-81, powered by 21 points from Brandon Davies, who was also instrumental in last week’s win at Baskonia. The task of containing him will fall to Luka Mitrovic and Joel Bolomboy, with the former looking to bounce back after recording 0 points or rebounds in last week’s loss at ALBA.
