The prize is very significant: the winner will have two chances of advancing through the play-in, and host the second of those games if necessary. Virtus has been spiraling recently, suffering six consecutive defeats, and will look to end that slump through the leadership of Toko Shengelia in what promises to be a fierce personal battle with Chima Moneke. The backcourt will feature a shootout between the first and third most prolific three-point shooters in the league: Markus Howard (3.6 triples per game) and Virtus's Marco Belinelli (2.7).
