ALBA (2-12) will aim to climb from the bottom of the standings with a visit from second-placed Barcelona (10-4), which is eager to immediately bounce back from Friday's home loss to Milan.
Game Notes: ALBA vs. Barcelona

The Spanish team will look to restore its usual defensive high standards after allowing at least 80 points in each of the last five games, with the hustle of former ALBA forward Oscar Da Silva likely to play a key role on his return to Berlin. The hosts will hope that Johannes Thiemann (15 ppg., 5.5 rpg.) can continue his great season and dominate the inside battle against Da Silva, Jan Vesely and Willy Hernangomez, who has scored in double digits in the last five games.
