Hapoel (5-4) will look to retain its current third place in Group A and establish a three-game margin on visiting Joventut (3-6).
Game Notes and facts: Hapoel Tel Aviv vs. Joventut



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 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, who averages 7.3 rebounds in the last three games. The hosts will again lean heavily on star man Patrick Beverley, who has scored in double digits in seven of this season’s nine games, while Joventut poses a threat through recent signing Sam Dekker, who scored 22 in last week’s loss at Bahcesehir.
