Pari Nizhny Novgorod: The team lost to UNICS and Loko, letting lead slip away versus PARMA and Avtodor. Sergey Kozin team needs to win all of its remaining games, including against the Saratov team, to guarantee Top 6 spot. Pari NN lost the last 2 games versus Avtodor, but will be playing with more complete and better roster. That fac and better three-point percentage could help Pari NN to win in the last home game of the season.
Avtodor: Milenko Bogicevic team has also got losses in Kazan and Krasnodar. In case of a win over Pari NN, the Saratov team will catch up with the opponent in winning percentage and increase chances for a spot in the Top 6, so the players will have special attitude. Avtodor managed to neutralize Pari Nizhny Novgorod leaders and win rebounding in the 2 previous games. The guests will also have the advantage in steals, as the Saratov team outperforms the opponent in steals this season. In order to get an important road win, it’s necessary to get rebounds and guard Aleksandr Chadov and Ilya Karpenkov.
