Baskonia (8-10) will look to take the confidence of last week's remarkable comeback against Paris to stop the run of a Zvezda (10-8) team which has won four of its last five games.
Game Notes: Baskonia vs. Zvezda



The Serbian team, which has claimed five road wins already, will be led in the frontcourt by Joel Bolomboy, who has recorded double digit PIRs in six consecutive games and could receive energetic support from newcomer John Brown if the former Monaco forward makes his debut. Baskonia will counter that through the tireless Chima Moneke, who combined with backcourt star Markus Howard for 57 points in the confidence-building Round 18 triumph. Baskonia needs an 8-point winning margin to claim the head-to-head advantage, after losing 78-71 in Belgrade in October.
