Kazan and Moscow will host 2 regular season games on Wednesday.
MBA-MAI (Moscow) vs Avtodor (Saratov)
Time: 19:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Moscow, Basket Hall Moscow
Broadcast: VK Video, VTB League website
MBA-MAI: After an excellent start, the hosts went into decline. A 3-game losing streak is hardly pleasing. So the Moscow team will make every effort to get back to winning. In early November, Vasily Karasev team already beat Avtodor. That remains the last win for MBA-MAI so far. So it would be quite symbolic if the hosts will end the losing streak against the Volga team.
Avtodor: The guests have been suffering from injuries to key players throughout the season (Dusan Beslac and Alex Hamilton missed the last few games). All this has resulted in losing streak. The Volga team has suffered 8 consecutive losses and dropped out of the Playoffs zone. Both upcoming games versus MBA-MAI and Enisey are direct competitors of Avtodor in the fight for a place in the Top 8. So it is extremely important for Milenko Bogicevic team to win both of these games.
UNICS (Kazan) vs Enisey (Krasnoyarsk Region)
Time: 19:30 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Kazan, Basket Hall
Broadcast: Match TV, VK Video, VTB League website
UNICS: The win against CSKA allowed UNICS not only to regain sole leadership in the standings, but also to repeat the club’s record. The Kazan team winning streak at home now stands at 14 games. In the game against Enisey, the hosts plan to extend it, and has every reason to hope for win. The team has gained excellent momentum, Marcus Bingham and Jalen Reynolds are currently among the top contenders for the MVP title of the entire season.
Enisey: In the last round, UNICS stopped CSKA. After an unsuccessful start, the Krasnoyarsk team has picked up good shape and has already won 4 games in a row. It will be very difficult to extend this streak in Kazan. The Siberian team will not only need to show the best game, but also stop their opponent powerful front court in defense.
