Two teams in a rut will battle it out for a much-needed victory as ALBA (2-9) welcomes Maccabi (3-8).
Game Facts: ALBA vs. Maccabi



The German team must fix a leaky defense which has allowed 98 and 115 points in the last two games, but hopes fast-rising swingman Gabriele Procida can maintain his hot streak after scoring in double digits for five consecutive games. Maccabi has lost four games in a row despite guard Rokas Jokubaitis driving the team with 9.9 points and 5.5 assists per game, and this meeting between the worst and third-worst defenses in the league (respectively allowing 90.5 and 87.1 points per game) could be settled by the question of which team can get some stops.
