Two very different, yet very effective guards are set to go against each other when FC Barcelona takes on FC Bayern Munich in Round 24. Nick Calathes of Barcelona has a chance to reach a major milestone, as he is close to becoming the competition's all-time assists leader. Corey Walden has been on a hot scoring streak at the right time for Bayern and is a key ingredient for head coach Andrea Trinchieri.

In his 10th EuroLeague season, Calathes is averaging 7.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals for a PIR average of 11.2.

Joan Penarroya: 'It's important to win at home'
Calathes will be paired for a lot of time with Bayern playmaker Corey Walden, who may not ever break assists records, but is enjoying his best run in two EuroLeague seasons. He scored a career-high 26 points despite a home loss to AS Monaco and 17 more as Bayern rebounded to win away at Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. He has hit 14 of 28 triples over the last five games while averaging 4.0 assists.
