Kuzmic has averaged 6.6 points on 59.6% shooting plus 6.0 rebounds per game this season. He is eighth in the league in rebounds and fourth in offensive rebounds (2.6 orpg.). Those numbers rise to 6.9 rebounds and 2.8 offensive boards in home games. His ability to wreak havoc on the boards makes Zvezda a much more dangerous team.

Mike Daum: 'It's awesome to be back'
Hines is second all-time in blocks and offensive rebounds and his experience and leadership are equally important for Milan. With his athleticism and speed, Hines can make things difficult for taller centers like Kuzmic. However, the Zvezda pivotman has the traits needed to stay with Hines. Their matchup should be entertaining as well as important to controlling the paint for both teams.
