Two very much in-form teams go head to head as third-place AS Monaco (21-11) welcomes 11th-place Zalgiris Kaunas (14-18) for a key meeting in their respective postseason ambitions.

Victory is the only option for both teams, and Zalgiris will be confident after winning three in a row, partly thanks to Edmond Sumner stepping up in the backcourt to support the always productive Keenan Evans. Similarly, Monaco has benefitted from perennial leader Mike James receiving back up from Elie Okobo, who scored 16 points in last week's French derby win over ASVEL. James, unsurprisingly, was the key performer when Monaco took a 79-83 victory at Kaunas in December, netting 25 points. In the paint, Kaunas native Donatas Moteijunas will look to win the physical battle for Monaco against compatriot Laurynas Birutis.
