ALBA (4-18) will look to move away from the foot of the standings with a visit from unpredictable Zvezda (9-13).
Game Notes: ALBA vs. Zvezda



Nemanja Nedovic led the Serbian team to victory when the teams met in December by scoring 20 points on 4-of-7 three-point shooting. Perimeter defense has consistently been a problem for an ALBA team that has allowed opponents to convert 39.9% of three-point shots, which is next-to-worst in the competition. The German team also concedes a competition-high 20 assists per night. However, Zvezda could be without Nedovic and playmaker Milos Teodosic (5.7 assists per game) and thus will need Yago Dos Santos and newcomer Javonte Smart to rise to the occasion. ALBA has lost four straight at home, most recently a heavy German derby defeat to Bayern last week.
