It's last versus first as ASVEL (2-14) aims to end 2023 with the upset of the year by toppling reigning champ Real (15-1).
Game Facts: ASVEL vs. Madrid

ASVEL has lost eight straight, with three of the last four losses coming by double-digit margins, and changing that statistic will require a big improvement in long-range shooting after making just 4 of its 19 three-point attempts in last week’s loss to Olympiacos. Real, in contrast, is riding a five-game winning streak and the last four of those haven’t even been close, triumphing by an average of 14.4 points. Veteran Sergio Rodriguez has recently been the main playmaker, dishing 8 and 9 assists in the last two games, so he’s one of the many weapons for ASVEL to stop.
