Boosted by last week's impressive victory at Barcelona, Milan (5-9) will look to climb closer to the playoffs positions against an ASVEL team (2-12) determined to end a six-game losing slide.
Game Notes: Milan vs. ASVEL

A key figure for the French team is Joffrey Lauvergne, who has six consecutive double-digit scoring games. He will look to dominate the paint against Nicolo Melli, who powered the win at Barcelona with 16 points and 6 rebounds. That game also saw the best performance in a Milan uniform by Devon Hall with 21 points on 8-for-10 field goal shooting. He'll look to outshoot dangerous ASVEL gunner Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, who has nine straight double-digit scoring games.
