3rd match for the Top 16 of the Euroleague with Zalgiris hosting Maccabi.
Maccabi, although they had a difficult program in the first games of the Top 16, have done very well and after three games are in 2nd place in the group along with Panathinaikos and Galatasaray with a record of 2-1. The team of Laos started with a defeat in OAKA against Panathinaikos with 83-76 (in a match that was not played by its best player Smith) but then made two victories at home against Barcelona and Red Star and raised its hopes for 2nd place.
For its part, Zalgiris seems to have reached its ceiling by qualifying for the Top 16 but it is always dangerous at home. So far it has one victory in Kaunas against Alba and two away defeats away from Galatasaray and Panathinaikos.
The difference between the teams is big and I believe that Maccabi will get its third victory in the Top16.
