The Turkish team won November’s meeting 86-82 with the help of 20 points and 7 rebounds from Will Clyburn, whose recent return to fitness provides a big boost to Erden Can’s roster. Zalgiris was paced in that contest by 20 points from usual suspect Keenan Evans, and his ability to control Shane Larkin’s scoring power will be just as important as his own scoring exploits after netting at least 21 points in four of the last five games. In the paint, Laurynas Birutis is becoming more influential under new coach Andrea Trinchieri and will look to win his battle with Efes big men Tyrique Jones and Dan Oturu.
