Astana: Last time Astana and Enisey met was in the end of January. That game was important for the Siberians, they broke their 6-game losing streak. After it, Astana lost again, this time to Avtodor, by the way Kazakhstan were up by 17 during this game but managed to score only 35 points in the second quarter. This loss complicated Emil Rajkovikj squad. If they lose again to Enisey then the Siberians will outpace Astana in standings. This season Kazakhstan suffer at home, they won only once in 5 home games. Anyway, the beat strong contender, Lokomotiv-Kuban.

Enisey: Drazen Anzulovich team are on the rise. Maybe it was influenced by the fans that finally managed to support the team in the first game against Astana at Sever Arena. However, the next victory was taken on the road against Kalev. In that game Krasnoyarsk showed their best offense of the season scoring 86 points. What’s even more important, Mikhail Kulagin recovered and Dustin Hogue is in perfect shape, it may give Kazakhstan a hard time, in the first game they hardly held the American center who collected a double-double (13 points + 12 rebounds).
