Granger is in his eighth EuroLeague season and averaging 7.6 points and 3.9 assists in 23-plus minutes for Baskonia. He spent the previous season in Berlin, where he was a teammate of many players from the current ALBA roster and will have many insights into how to stop them. Granger posted 15 points and 6 assists in Round 4 to help Baskonia to a 76-80 road win over ALBA.

Blatt made his EuroLeague debut this season and was a key addition to the ALBA attack in place of Granger. He has averaged 4.5 points and 3.6 assists in 14-plus minutes for the German champs. Though he is known first and foremost for his playmaking abilities, Blatt has made at least 1 three-pointer in six consecutive games and had a remarkable 7 assists in less than 12 minutes in last week’s victory over Olympiacos Piraeus. A strong game from Blatt could go a long way for ALBA as it seeks a fifth consecutive victory.
