CSKA Moscow might have taken their third straight win 83-89 against Panathinaikos in Athens last week, but it wasn't easy at all. Even though they took a double-digit lead more than once, Panathinaikos did found the strength to come back. Darrun Hilliard scored 14 points and Daniel Hackett had 13, while Mike James scored 10 and dished 5 assists that helped the Russian side reach the victory. 

CSKA Moscow is giving way too much easy points to its opponents in almost every game. And this is something that Dimitris Itoudis should take care of. And especially tonight the Russian side should pay attention to Rokas Giedraitis, Luca Vildoza, and Pierria Henry, the main threat from the Basques. If those men will be stopped, then CSKA will take the win tonight. 

Baskonia has lost its last two games with less than two points. Frustrating for sure. Especially their loss 71-72 against Barcelona for round 6 after losing a double-digit lead in the last two minutes. Last week another home loss 81-82 at the end against Villerban this time. Tonye Jekiri faced his former team, but let his emotions apart and led Baskonia with 23 points while Pierria Henry added 20 and Luca Vildoza 11 more. not enough though. 

Tonight Baskonia will face four former players, Mike James, Johannes Voigtmann, Darrun Hilliard and Toko Shengelia. The Basques have to beat them if they want to stop their losing streak. But most of all they need to beat their bad self. And control the pace of course, or else they don't stand a chance tonight at Moscow. 

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is CSKA Moscow v Baskonia 31-10.

All eyes in Megasport Arena will be at Will Clyburn and Rokas Giedraitis tonight. Clyburn has the leading role for CSKA and with his 18.0 points and 4.3 rebounds he leads the defending champions. For the hosts, Giedraitis might be a rookie in Euroleague but he is already averaging 13.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals. Both players are also main pillars in their offensive plans. A great clash is expected here.
