Monaco is in great form with four straight victories, but was shocked by the Italian team, 59-83, when the teams met in October. Virtus claimed a massive 46 rebounds in that game, so the visitors will look for Donta Hall and Donatas Moteijunas to protect the backboards more strongly as they confront Bryant Dunston and Toko Shengelia. The game also features two of the league's most potent long-range shooters, Marco Belinelli (2.8 triples per game) and Mike James (2.7).
