Virtus can rely on power forward Toko Shengelia, who has averaged 21 points in the last three games, but has to shed some psychological demons after Round 32's last-second loss to Panathinaikos. Virtus won the season's first Italian Derby by 86-79 despite 21 points from Milan leader Shavon Shields, who forms a one-two offensive punch with Nikola Mirotic, ranking seventh and sixth, respectively, among all EuroLeague scorers. Three-point shooting could be crucial as Milan relies on Shields and Mirotic, while Virtus hopes Marco Belinelli extends his streak of 10 straight games with at least one triple.
