Bayern (13-17) will look to get back on track by holding serve at home against a red-hot Maccabi (17-13) team still pushing for a top-four finish.
Game Notes: Bayern vs. Maccabi
Wade Baldwin, who spent the 2020-21 season with Bayern, is a one-man offense for Maccabi at the moment, scoring at least 14 points in the last 11 games and powering the Round 30 win over ASVEL with a sensational 30 points and 10 assists. Bayern head coach Pablo Laso's defense will attempt to shut down Baldwin with a gameplan that restricted Zalgiris and Zvezda to just 58 and 66 points, respectively in Bayern's last two home games. But the German team's offensive limitations were again evident in defeat against Valencia on Wednesday, when Vladimir Lucic couldn't strike a buzzer-beating triple in a costly 70-68 defeat.
