Maccabi (5-4) will play its second home game of the week in Belgrade with a visit from rock-bottom ALBA (1-9), which is still waiting for its first road win of the season.
Game Notes: Maccabi vs. ALBA

Although ALBA will be aware of Lorenzo Brown's role as Maccabi's main playmaker, the German team will also need to focus on its former player Tamir Blatt, who ranks fifth in the league for assists with 5.4 per game. Although it has struggled in nearly every statistical category, ALBA does lead the league in steals, with Gabriele Procida ranked third overall with 1.8 per night. And those ball-hawking abilities will be very important to disrupt the rhythm of a fast-paced Maccabi offense, led by Brown and Blatt, which averages 20.4 assists per game, second-best in the competition.
