The undefeated Maccabi Fox Tel Aviv will try to complete a perfect first round in the Israeli league as they’ll compete against Hapoel Galil Gilboa (21:00, live on channel 55) as part of the 11th fixture. The Yellow & Blue come into the contest after the 18 point comeback victory over Panathinaikos and just before the big Euroleague showdown versus Anadolu Efes on Thursday night in Istanbul, Turkey.
Lior Lubin’s squad began the season strong winning their first three matches (2 in overtime). However, since then, the reds won only one game (also in overtime) against Ness Ziona. Their top performers this season are their three foreigners, Justin Tillman, who’s averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds per game, Jarmar Gulley 19.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and Edgar Sosa 14.5 points and 4.9 assists.
The top Israeli’s on the northern roster are starting point guard Iftach Ziv, who’s contributing 9.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and the four youngsters that come off the bench: Gil Beni, Netanel Artzi, Amit Gershon and former Maccabi Tel Aviv youth department graduate, Ido Flaisher.
