Command Analysis
Zalgiris Kaunas
LithuaniaCurrent form
The Lithuanian club is not going through the best period of the season, having lost the last two matches in a row. The defeats to Baskonia (70:83) and Partizan (78:84) dropped the team to ninth place in the standings. The main problem is the inconsistent play in attack and insufficient concentration in defense.
However, home court remains the strong point of Zalgiris, where the team traditionally shows a high level. The match against Anadolu Efes could be a turning point for Andrea Trinchieri team.

Tentative line-up: Sirvydis - Ulanovas, Dunston - Walker, Gidraitis.
