Rampant Paris's (9-1) title challenge continues with a visit from inconsistent but dangerous Reyer (4-6).
Game Notes and Facts: Paris vs. Reyer

Last week's win over Wolves saw the French team reach triple figures for the sixth time this season, as TJ Shorts – who ranks second in the league in PIR (21.9 per game) - again led the way with a double-double of 24 points and 11 assists. Reyer's fast style has yielded more average assists than Paris (19.8 vs. 19.2), and Rayjon Tucker continued his great form with 20 points in last week's narrow loss to London. He has now recorded double-digit scoring in five straight games and perhaps poses the biggest threat to Paris's progress.


GAME NOTES
- This is the second time that these two teams meet in the EuroCup.
- Earlier this season, Paris snatched a road win, 75-81.
