Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade center Ognjen Kuzmic has had a fairly quiet start to the season in terms of his offensive role, but he continues to do one thing like few others in the competition: rebound. Rebounding may be key in this game, especially considering that Zalgiris is without starting center Joffrey Lauvergne. That means Josh Nebo will have a bigger role than ever before.

Kuzmic has the advantage in size and experience. Nebo is faster and more athletic. If Kuzmic can neutralize Nebo, it could go a long way for the hosts. However, a breakout game for the Zalgiris rookie could energize the Lithuanian champs in their first game under a new coach.
