Round 16 gets underway with Maccabi (9-6) aiming to complete a perfect "home" week with a visit from a Zvezda (5-10) team which should feel equally as comfortable in Aleksandar Nikolic Hall.
Game Notes: Maccabi vs. Zvezda

Maccabi has flown up the standings by winning four of its last five, averaging 94 points per game in the process, with Josh Nebo's double-double of 17 points and 11 assists a key factor in Tuesday's win over Baskonia.
