In Wednesday’s final tipoff, the league's bottom two teams play for the prize of climbing away from last place as Virtus (2-10) hosts ALBA (2-10).
Game Facts: Virtus vs. ALBA



Virtus, which has lost four in a row, needs better backboard protection after averaging a league-low 31.6 rebounds – a big deficit to ALBA, which ranks third in rebounding with 36.3 per night in large part thanks to Trevion Williams grabbing 7.5 per game. ALBA’s struggling defense, which has allowed a league-high 91.6 points per game, will be tested by the back-in-form Will Clyburn, who scored 25 points on 5-of-8 three-point shooting in last week’s narrow loss at Paris. At the other end, ALBA will hope for another solid contribution from rising youngster Elias Rapieque, who scored a career-high 14 points last week.
