After sealing a top-four finish with last week's thrilling victory over Maccabi, Barcelona (22-11) will look to head into the playoffs on a high with a trip to dangerous ASVEL (8-25).
Game Notes: ASVEL vs. Barcelona

The French team is enjoying a decent finish to an otherwise disappointing season, producing its biggest win to date by thrashing Valencia on the road in Round 33 behind 21 points from Joffrey Lauvergne.

In addition to the long-range shooting exploits of last week's game-winning hero Nico Laprovittola, Barca will look to control the tempo through its tandem of big men, Jan Vesely and Willy Hernangomez, who both scored in double digits in a 101-92 victory over ASVEL in December.
