The Italian team can also seal the head-to-head advantage between them after beating Fener 87-79 earlier this season, with Toko Shengelia – who missed last week’s game – contributing 15 points and 8 rebounds. Saras Jasikevicius’s men had only Scottie Wilbekin and Johnathan Motley in double digits in the pummeling at Zalgiris and will also aim for a major defensive improvement after allowing 25 assists in that defeat. Virtus will look to punish any defensive frailty through the scoring power of Marco Belinelli, who averages 2.7 triples per game.
