Much-improved ASVEL (2-9) will hope results start matching performances with a visit from Maccabi (6-5), which needs a win to push into the all-important top six.
Game Notes: ASVEL vs. Maccabi

A pair of explosive scorers will go head-to-head: ASVEL’s Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot has scored 20 points in both his last two games, knocking down 5 three-pointers in last week’s narrow loss at Barcelona, while Wade Baldwin continues his return to full fitness and game rhythm after netting 18 points in the Round 10 win over ALBA. Maccabi is the league’s leading offensive rebounding unit with 13.8 per game, so ASVEL big men Youssoupha Fall and Joffrey Lauvergne will have to work hard to deny second chances for the visitors.
