Jaka Blazic of Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana and Stefano Tonut of Umana Reyer Venice are certain to have big roles when their teams meet on Wednesday.
Major matchup: Blazic, Cedevita vs. Tonut, Reyer



Blazic has been the top performer on a red-hot Cedevita side which has won five in a row. He is averaging 15.7 points on 41.1% three-point shooting, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals for a team-high performance index rating of 17.9. Blazic only scored 10 points when Cedevita lost to Reyer in Venice, 77-70, in Round 7, though he also grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds. It is safe to assume he will look to get his share of points this time with the game in the Slovenian capital.

Tonut is a gutsy all-around guard who can compete with Blazic both with his tough defense and offensive savvy. He has helped his team to the tune of 10.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists this season and contributed 16 points and 5 assists to his team’s victory over Cedevita. Reyer has lost three in a row and Tonut struggles in particular in the last two games in which he totaled just 10 points, 1 assist, 4 turnovers and a PIR of 4. He will look to bounce back against Blazic and co.
