ASVEL was not able to limit the offensive rhythm of Panathinaikos, and they lost at OAKA 100-88. Theo Maledon was excellent, having 19 points, while Jean-Charles added 16, and Diot with Strazel 14 each.

The French champions lost for the fifth time in a row, and they are outside the playoff zone. It seems that they cannot follow the other teams in this hard battle. However, ASVEL has already done more than expected.

In the French league, they beat Orthez away 91-80. It was a great reaction to the Euroleague failures, and they remain at the top of the table, having one win more than Monaco.

Edwin Jackson is still on the injury list. There is not any other problem for Mitrovic. ASVEL wants to take advantage of Astroballe, but it will not be comfortable against Zalgiris.

Zalgiris thrashed Alba at home 104-80. Jasikevicius' players had a fantastic night both in offense and defense. That was the fourth win in the last six games. They have only lost at Madrid and OAKA, against Real and Panathinaikos respectively.

Zalgiris is four wins away from the playoff zone, but they have done it once more last season, with a fantastic finish. However, if they want to have some chances, they must win tonight.

In the Lithuanian league, Zalgiris beat Rytas in the big derby, and they are the definite favorite to win the league for another year.

Jasikevicious have improved a lot of things offensively, and that has helped Zalgiris to improve its performance. That is something more than obvious.

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000 is Zalgiris - ASVEL 3-2.

In the first round, Zalgiris beat ASVEL at Zalgirio Arena 70-56.
