A key battle for play-in qualification will see two in-form teams clash as Zalgiris (13-18) hosts Milan (14-17).
Ettore Messina, Milan: 'We'll need to play a physical game'
Both are coming off perfect-double round weeks to boost their top 10 chances, and Zalgiris knows that any victory would also be enough to take the head-to-head advantage after winning 70-83 in Milan in November. Edgaras Ulanovas starred with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on that occasion, and he'll look to give more all-round leadership after playing a big part in last week's impressive win over Baskonia. Milan's confidence has never been higher after downing Monaco and Fenerbahce last week, and veteran big man Nicolo Melli has found his best form of the season with 8-of-10 two-point shots converted across those games.
Ettore Messina, Milan head coach
"We face a team playing usually with great enthusiasm on its home court, led by its crowd. Zalgiris is also a very athletic team, well organized at both ends of the floot. We'll need to play a physical game, a game with a good transition defense and careful decisions at the offensive end of the floor."
