League leader Olympiacos (22-8) will look to get back to winning ways with a trip to an ASVEL team (11-19) which has been eliminated from postseason contention after seven straight losses.
Game Notes: ASVEL vs. Olympiacos



The Greek giant has already secured home-court advantage in the playoffs and will hope that Saben Lee can continue to fill the gaps in an injury-hit backcourt. The recent signing spent more than 27 minutes on the floor and dished 6 assists in last week’s loss to Zvezda, which saw the Reds struggle for an inside presence as big men Nikola Milutinov and Moustapha Fall combined for just 6 points. ASVEL’s habitual problem is turnovers, averaging 14.0 per game – next-to-worst in the league – so ball handlers Theo Maledon and Paris Lee will have to take better care of the basketball.
