Donta Hall of AS Monaco and Josh Nebo of Zalgiris Kaunas, two first-year centers who each pose a big inside presence, will be up against one another in Round 26.
Major matchup: Hall, Monaco vs. Nebo, Zalgiris
Hall is one of the most athletic centers in the competition, and he has put in on display this season. However, after a strong start to the season and dominating the EuroLeague paints, Hall has struggled in recent weeks. Nevertheless, the Monaco center still ranks third in the competition in two-point shooting at (71.7%), and in blocked shots (1.2 bpg.). He has averaged 7.6 points per game and is a difference-maker for this surging Monaco side.

Nebo is also athletic and powerful and plays above the rim. His return to the floor earlier this week gave Zalgiris a much-needed presence inside against AX Armani Exchange Milan. Nebo ranks sixth in rebounding (6.2 rpg.) and is eighth in offensive rebounding (2.3 per game), while averaging 8.2 points on the ninth-best two-point shooting (66.3%).
