Two inconsistent teams will look to push closer towards the top 10 as the round closes with Valencia Basket (10-11) hosting EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (9-12).
Ettore Messina, Milan: 'We need to find the energy'

The Spanish team has taken a blow to its confidence with three consecutive narrow losses, most recently in overtime to Real Madrid last Thursday, while Milan is coming off a home loss to Zvezda. A very solid team performance gave the Italian team an easy win, 83-52, when the teams met in November, but Valenica will hope to gain revenge through the scoring skills of former Milan guard Kevin Pangos, who will hope for a chance to shine as he settles with his new team.
Ettore Messina, Milan head coach:
"We are going to face a healthy Valencia team, a team who has been playing really well lately, including games that didn't reward them with a win, like the one against Panathinaikos and the overtime loss in Madrid. We need to find the energy and consistency to get the one win on the road that is much needed. Unfortunately we are still missing players but we worked well the last few days. Hopefully, Shields, for the 10 minutes he might be able to play, and McGruder will help the team with some infusion of energy on both ends of the floor."
