Barça visits Zalgiris Kaunas this Friday, at 7pm and live on Movistar+ and DAZN, in what will be matchday 29 of the Euroleague. The azulgranas, who lead the competition, face the last-placed team, who is currently in great form after adding three wins in the last four games.
The rival
Their top scorers are point guard Lekavicius, power forward Cavanaugh and center Josh Nebo, who is the team’s most valued player with 12.7 thanks to 8.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Nor should we forget players like Ulanovas, Milaknis, Strelnieks or Lauvergne, among others, who have taken a step forward in recent weeks.
Zalgiris, who have beaten Monaco, Madrid and Panathinaikos in the last four games, will not make it easy despite their position in the standings.
The Barca
It will be a very special match for Brandon Davies, Sarunas Jasikevicius -who has already returned to Kaunas but without an audience-, and also for Rokas Jokubaitis and Nigel Hayes-Davies, former players of the Lithuanian team.
The azulgranas are looking for a victory that puts them with a two-win margin over second-placed Real Madrid, when we are already in the final stretch of the Regular League.
