Maccabi has won five in a row, mostly recently cruising past Bayern behind 17 points from ex-Valencia forward Jasiel Rivero. The Spanish team is a major underdog after losing five of its last six games. Maccabi has averaged 92 points during its five-game winning streak, so Valencia will need its best defensive game from the likes of backcourt veteran forward Victor Claver and all-action Semi Ojeleye. The Spanish team did exactly that when the teams met in October, winning 75-66 despite nobody scoring more than Damien Inglis's 11 points.
