The Reds are unbeaten at home and boast the smoothest collective offense in the competition, averaging a league-high 21.5 assists per game – led by 5.9 per night from Thomas Walkup. Sasha Vezenkov is the competition’s top individual performer with an average PIR of 22.8, but his ability to control the boards will be tested by the competition’s top rebounder, ASVEL center Neal Sako (8.5 rpg). With Edwin Jackson ruled out through injury, the French team will need Theo Maledon to rediscover his best shooting rhythm after making just 1 of his last 13 three-point attempts.
