16:00 VEF Riga – Astana Tigers

I think that the 1st half in this match will be high scoring. VEF Riga likes to play fast basketball with a lot fast breaks and shots from the distance. The problem though is that they are not able to hold this tempo al through the game. Mostly they collapse in the 2nd hald when the leaders are tired and can not run as before. VEF just signed PG Lowery. He likes to run and is very good on fast breaks. Astana is playing similar game like the hosts. Good in attack but also struggling in defense. The last meeting between the sides finished with 180 points scored.
