After the frustration of last week’s last-second loss at Baskonia, Barcelona (13-11) will attempt to bounce back by overcoming struggling Maccabi (6-18).
Game Notes: Barcelona vs. Maccabi



The absence of injured forward Jaylen Hoard is a blow for Maccabi, which will look for former Barca guard Rokas Jokubaitis to maintain his strong season (12 points, 5.1 assists per game) on his return to Palau Blaugrana. He was effectively replaced by rising star Juan Nunez, who will look to continue his progression after averaging 10.5 points and 4.5 assists in the last two games. The Spanish side took a thriller, 86-88, when the teams met in Round 9, powered by 18 points and 9 rebounds from Jabari Parker, and will be confident of completing a sweep against a Maccabi side that has won just once on the road all season.
