BC Zalgiris Kaunas - Olympiakos BC

Zalgiris come back to Kaunas after an 83-77 win in Belgrade, and that scoreline says a fair bit about the sort of night they want. They are also very thin at guard. Nigel Williams-Goss is out for around two weeks with a hamstring problem and Saben Lee missed the opener with the same complaint, which leaves far more of the offence running through Jonas Valanciunas in the half court instead of in transition. Olympiakos did hang 106 on the board in Vitoria, but Baskonia gave them almost nothing to fight through and that number flatters the trip. Kaunas is a very different assignment, and it is the second road game in a row for the visitors. Two sides that defend well, one of them short of ball handlers, points at a grind rather than a shootout, so the number at 172 looks generous.
