After seeing its 10-game winning run ended by the French derby loss at ASVEL, league leader Paris (11-4) will aim to start another run against a Real (6-9) way below its best form.
Game Facts: Paris vs. Madrid



The Spanish giant has lost three straight with an uncharacteristically inconsistent offense, partly due to a league-low 9.1 offensive rebounds per night. Two undersized but explosive guards will deliver a spectacle, with TJ Shorts (19.3 points and 7.9 assists per game, both second in the league) confronting Facu Campazzo (12.9 points and 7.7 assists, third in the league). Real will look to league-leading rebounder (8.1 rpg) and shot-blocker Walter Tavares (1.5 bpg) to control the paint, but Kevarrius Hayes (7.1 points and 4.7 boards per night) is among a group of Paris big men fighting hard for another home win.
