CSKA (Moscow) vs Avtodor (Saratov)
Time: 20:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Moscow, Megasport.
Broadcast: Match! Igra, TV Start, League website
CSKA: In the Game of the Week, CSKA scored a 100 for the 6th time this season, but still lost to Loko (104:106). That loss allowed UNICS and Zenit to move closer in the standings, so the team will be motivated to rehabilitate at home and improve the standings. Both previous games against the Saratov team ended with CSKA wins and the team statistics emphasize the hosts advantage in both offense and defense.
Avtodor: The Saratov team is going through one of the toughest stretches of the schedule – 5 games against Top-6 teams. In the games against Zenit and Uralmash, the Volga team kept the score close for 30 minutes, but made a lot of mistakes in the final quarter, which led to the losses. Lack of concentration against experienced CSKA can be a decisive factor, so Milenko Bogicevic team need to improve the stability. Long-range shooting, as well as Kerem Kanter play in the paint can help versus the reigning champion.
