Greens guard Lorenzo Brown will look to deliver a big performance against his former team after being held scoreless by Olympiacos last week, but fellow backcourt star Kendrick Nunn is in flying form after scoring at least 13 points in every game. Maccabi has freshened up its backcourt with the arrival of David DeJulius, while the return to fitness of Wenyen Gabriel will be a big boost to the frontcourt after he snared 7 rebounds in last week’s loss at Virtus. Levi Randolph presents a deep threat to the home defense after scoring three-pointers in each of the last six games with a 60% conversion rate.
