ASVEL had 3 blocks in the initial 5 minutes and 4 additional blocks  in the initial 4 minutes of the second from last quarter. Five unique ASVEL players had somewhere around 1 block: Kostas Antetokounmpo and James Gist each hindered 3 shots, Victor Wembanyama had 2 dismissals and Dylan Osetkowski and William Howard each had 1.

ASVEL depends on its star point watch team, Elie Okobo, and Chris Jones, to have the effect in this game. In spite of its Round 15 home loss against Zenit St Petersburg, ASVEL showed extraordinary hustle, getting a EuroLeague season-high 10 blocks.

Offensive rebounds, be that as it may, have been an issue for ASVEL the entire season; simply 9.0 each night and 4 against Zenit. ASVEL needs its most athletic players – Kostas Antetokoumpo, Victor Wembanyama, James Gist and Marcos Knight – to help in all-out attack mode glass, as getting all the more additional opportunity openings would allow the French force to be reckoned with a superior opportunity to agitate the Reds.

Sloukas vs. Okobo

Kostas Sloukas, a three-time EuroLeague champion, drives Olympiacos' offense. A vocation 88.9% free throws, lethal in time to take care of business, Sloukas should make the most out of his experience against Elie Okobo, the top scorer in the EuroLeague as of not long ago at 17.1 points per game. Okobo, be that as it may, has arrived at the midpoint of simply 10.3 points in ASVEL's last four games.
