Probably no one in Kaunas would even dream that their team will be at the top of the table after four rounds. Or having four wins in a row, with three of them on the road. Tonight they are hosting Valencia and they are ready to treat them as they did Anadolu Efes last Thursday. They beat the Turkish side 89-73 after having another great game. Nigel Hayes was the man of the match for the home team with 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals. 

In their domestic league, Zalgiris had another easy night at home facing Juventus. They beat them with 84-63 and they stayed in second place with a 4-1 record. It was the perfect way for them to prepare themselves for their Euroleague campaign.

Valencia's last match for round 3 was postponed, so they had the time to overcome their home defeat from Barcelona 66-71. They were competitive in the first three quarters, but they didn't have the answer when Barca tightened their defense and left them without a chance. Nikola Kalinic and Bojan Dubljevic led Valencia with 13 points apiece but in the end, it wasn't enough to win the fame. 

Valencia didn't play for ACB last weekend either. So they had a week to prepare for their trip to Kaunas. The Spanish side needs to win to keep alive their play-off dreams. Even though it is very early in the season, they know that games like tonight's could give them the needed boost. 

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Zalgiris Kaunas v Valencia 2-5.

Nigel Hayes was the man that led Zalgiris to win Anadolu Efes. He comes off his best game for his team scoring 17 points and also collected 5 rebounds and 2 steals. He is expected to play a key role in tonight's clash and the one that everyone will like to watch. On the other side, Derrick Williams has the size, speed, athleticism, and outside shooting to match up with Hayes. This clash would not just be exciting to watch, but the one that will win it might be the one that will lead his side to win.
