MBA (Moscow) vs Astana (Astana)
Time: 19:30 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Moscow, Basket Hall
Broadcast: Match! Igra, League website
MBA: Vasily Karasev team extended the winning streak to 8 games against Runa and guaranteed the play-in game. But the team still has something to fight for in the remaining games of the regular season. If MBA wins twice and Avtodor loses, the Moscow team will have home-court advantage in the first round of the play-in. The team opponent will be Astana, which has 1 win 6 losses after Royce Hamm departure. The last game between the opponents ended with a huge Moscow team win.
Astana: The team got the 6th consecutive loss in Yekaterinburg. Astana lost chances to continue the season, but it did not affect the motivation. The Kazakh team Markell Johnson and Karvel Anderson regularly scored 25+ points and in general teh team does not give up games. The missing link in Astana offense is still the bench. The team will be able to get a win in Moscow only with both leaders and role players performance at once.
