Astana will host the regular season game on Saturday.
Astana (Kazakhstan) – Enisey (Russia)
Place: Kazakhstan, Astana, Saryarka
Broadcast: TV Start, League website
Astana: The second stage of the regular season starts with a game in Kazakhstan. The game will be important for both teams, which, moreover, are neighbours in the standings. Astana’s chances for the playoffs are not too high, but they still remain, so it is important to beat Enisey at home. The Kazakh team continues to rebuild after Daniil Aksenov move to MBA, and Vaughn – Johnson duo, which scored 39 points against Loko a week ago, will surely play the first roles. Fans will be able to see the bigmen duel, which are in the Top 5 of the season in rebounds: Michael Myers from Astana against James Thompson from Enisey.
Enisey: The Krasnoyarsk team also retain their chances to gen in the playoffs – the difference from the 8th place is 3 wins. Enisey needs to start a winning streak in the capital of Kazakhstan as the team has 10 games left. However, last 2 games, Enisey won both times. And in one of the games, Angelo Warner set a season high with 32 points. At the same time, another Ensiey guard will certainly try to prove in Kazakhstan: Supreme Hannah moved to the Krasnoyarsk team not so long ago and he has yet to justify the trust of the coaching staff with his actions on the floor.
