When Zalgiris Kaunas and Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade collide in their rescheduled round 21 game on Sunday, the battle on the perimeter will feature Zalgiris guard Lukas Lekavicius and Zvezda playmaker Nate Wolters.
Major matchup: Zalgiris's Lekavicius vs. Zvezda's Wolters
Lekavicius is coming off a fine personal game in a tough loss on Friday. He had one of his best scoring performances of the season, finishing with 20 points along with 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Zalgiris will need Lekavicius, however, to create more for his teammates in this one. Lekavicius has averaged 9.9 points and 4.1 assists this season and the passing is where he needs to help his team the most against Zvezda.

On the other side, a similar job awaits Wolters, who played for Zalgiris in 2018-19.. The Zvezda playmaker leads the team with 3.6 assists as well as in three-point accuracy (37.1%). Zvezda will need Wolters's contribution in both of these departments, as the team will want to bounce back from a 57-point performance on Friday in Munich. Wolters made 3 of his 9 field goal attempts and had 3 assists and 2 turnovers. Zvezda will need Wolters to step up in Kaunas, as he has done many times already this season.
