Last week's win over Wolves saw the French team reach triple figures for the sixth time this season, as TJ Shorts – who ranks second in the league in PIR (21.9 per game) - again led the way with a double-double of 24 points and 11 assists. Reyer's fast style has yielded more average assists than Paris (19.8 vs. 19.2), and Rayjon Tucker continued his great form with 20 points in last week's narrow loss to London. He has now recorded double-digit scoring in five straight games and perhaps poses the biggest threat to Paris's progress.
Neven Spahija, Venice head coach
"Paris Basketball is a EuroLeague team, one of the best in the entire EuroCup. But we have to focus on ourselves, on our defense and on impacting their aggression. In the last race our approach and our attitude allowed us to win by double digits. Against Paris, however, we will have to play even better because they are a high-level team."
