A big clash at the top of the standings sees unbeaten leader Real (5-0) welcome red-hot Virtus (5-1), which has won five in a row behind. October MVP Toko Shengelia of Virtus will face a fearsome showdown with the dynamic Guerschon Yabusele if he, as expected, returns from injury on Friday night. Those two stars will play a big part in the battle for inside dominance, with Real ranking third in two-point shooting accuracy (57.3%) while Virtus is second (57.6%). In-form Real big man Vincent Poirier (12.6 ppg., 5.6 rpg.) and Virtus veteran Jordan Mickey (12.0 ppg., 5.3 rpg.) will also be pivotal in what is sure to be a very physical contest.
