Uralmash: On the last day of winter, the Group B leader will host the team from the bottom of the standings. February has been very successful for Rostislav Vergun team with 4 wins. This series started with a win over Nizhny on February 1. The hosts can be considered the favorite, having not lost at home since Vergun appointment. Uralmash has 5 home wins in a row with the new coach. Moreover, Nizhny lost to Uralmash in 2 games this season.
Pari Nizhny Novgorod: The last game before the All-Star Game was a failure. Nizhny played its worst game of the season, scoring only 50 points, and that was against MBA. There is no doubt that the two-week break for Zoran Lukic team was necessary. The team leaders, even after participating in the All-Star Game, got enough time to rest and recover. In addition, Nizhny Novgorod management continues to strengthen the roster in the last attempts to clinch to the play-in: Kendall Smith, who previously played for PAOK, joined the team.
