Partizan’s latest victory, over Olympiacos last week, owed a lot to efficient collective play with just 5 turnovers committed, and [Carlik Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/carlik-jones/013369/) will attempt to maintain the playmaking which saw him make 8 assists with no turnovers in that big win. There was also a strong performance from big man [Brandon Davies](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/brandon-davies/007870/) (12 points, 5 rebounds), and he will now go up against his former club and a matchup with [Laurynas Birutis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/laurynas-birutis/005504/), who is searching for a return to form after totaling just 4 points in the last three games. Partizan will have to defend the deep threat of [Deividas Sirvydis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/deividas-sirvydis/007029/), who has made 9 triples in the last two games.

Against Partizan, Shorts hit a pair of clutch free throws with 22 seconds left to help Paris regain the lead, with the Parisian outfit remaining in front the rest of the way. When Zalgiris came to town, Shorts netted 21 points – the third time he had gone above 20 points this season – before following that up with a 24-point, 9-assist performance at Barcelona, which was unbeaten at home until that point. His 3 steals in that win at Barcelona tied his career high, which he set in Round 1.

He didn’t stop there. At Efes, Shorts recorded his second EuroLeague double-double by pairing 21 points with 10 assists, before posting 19 points and 9 assists – including a dagger two-pointer – in a win over Virtus in Paris. After shooting 2 for 15 on three-pointers through the first seven rounds of the EuroLeague season, Shorts – who didn’t attempt a three-point shot in Round 8 – is 6 for 7 from deep over the last four games.

The MVP of the Month is named by Euroleague Basketball based on his and his team's performances. The award for November covered the five games played by all teams between Thursday, November 7, and Friday, November 29.

This marks the first time that Shorts has earned monthly MVP honors in what is his rookie season in the competition, and this is the first time a Paris player has secured the award.

Competition leading scorer and Round 9 MVP [Jared Harper](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/jared-harper/011970/) (23.1 points per game) will relish the chance to take on his former club, but Valencia also boasts precocious talent in the backcourt with [Jean Montero](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/jean-montero/010042/), who paired 19 points with 9 assists in last week’s win over Bourg. Valencia has won four in a row and Jerusalem four straight, so both teams will be high in confidence but the visiting team will need its usually strong defense – allowing just 75.6 points per game – to be on top form against a Valencia offense averaging a spectacular 96.9 points.

GAME NOTES

\- Valencia defeated Jerusalem 64-80 in Round 1 and now has a 7-3 record in games between them.

\- Jerusalem  guard Jared Harper played for Valencia during the past two seasons.

\- Valencia guard Chris Jones and Jerusalem forward Yovel Zoosman were teammates during the 2020-21 season at Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv.

Both teams have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, and this should be another close game, similar to the 78-75 victory for Joventut in Round 1. [Ante Tomic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/ante-tomic/002507/) was inevitably pivotal to that triumph with a double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds, and he faces a good battle in the paint with Hapoel’s [Bruno Caboclo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/bruno-caboclo/012096/), who averages 7.3 rebounds in the last three games. The hosts will again lean heavily on star man [Patrick Beverley](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/patrick-beverley/001927/), who has scored in double digits in seven of this season’s nine games, while Joventut poses a threat through recent signing [Sam Dekker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/sam-dekker/009672/), who scored 22 in last week’s loss at Bahcesehir.
