Aris has the competition's worst-performing offense, averaging only 71.8 points per game, but also the best defense with an average of just 74.8 points allowed. So Slask big man Dusan Miletic will struggle to maintain his average of 13.9 points per game, while Aris hopes guard Vassilis Toliopoulos can continue his outstanding form after scoring at least 15 points in each of the last five games.
Giannis Kastritis, Aris head coach
"We have a home game against Slask, a team that might have only one win until now in BKT Eurocup, but the truth is that they have been very close to more positive results especially in the last month and they didn’t make it due to some details. It is a game that we have to be in very high standards in our defense for 40 minutes, so as to achieve an important win in front of our fans."
Lefteris Bochoridis, Aris player
"After two wins in a row, we want to continue our streak, protecting our home, against a good team. I think that the standings don’t reveal the true value of Slask, who is competitive all year long and could have won more games. We have to be focused and determined, to take the result we want and keep our hopes alive for the qualification to the next round. We have four games in our home till the end of the regular season and winning them, will help us achieve our goals."
