A big battle between direct rivals on the fringes of the playoff places will see ASVEL (8-10) and Milan (9-9) desperate to get back into winning ways.
Game Facts: ASVEL vs. Milan

Milan, which has lost three in a row, is attempting to complete a season sweep over the French team after winning 92-84 at home less than a month ago, when experienced guard Fabien Causeur set the tone by snaring 6 steals. That game did not feature another veteran, Nando De Colo, who will look to make the difference and maintain his strong form by guiding ASVEL to the 9-point win it needs for head-to-head advantage. The game features the league’s top two players in PIR, as Theo Maledon (23.5) and Nikola Mirotic (23.2) attempt to dominate their respective areas of the court.
