Overview

Zalgiris will hope that Laurynas Birutis can maintain his strong form after netting 13 of his 16 two-point shots in the last two games and his battle with the equally in-form Josh Nebo – PIRs of 25 and 26 in the last two games – could be vital. Maccabi will lean on Lorenzo Brown to repeat his usual high standards of 14.8 points and 6.8 assists per night and should be welcoming back team captain John DiBartolomeo. Zalgiris will turn backcourt star and former Maccabi player Keenan Evans, who is comfortably his team’s top scorer with an average of 15.8 points.
