Maccabi's squad for the game includes captain John DiBartolomeo alongside Lorenzo Brown, Wade Baldwin, Rafi Menco, Roman Sorkin, Ben Carter, Jake Cohen, Omer Mayer, Josh Nebo, Tamir Blatt and Bonzie Colson.
The yellows reached the semi finals by beating Ironi Kiryat Ata 95:71 on Tuesday, with six different players scoring 10 points or more. Maccabi's nemesis, Hapoel, defeated Maccabi Ramat Gan 88:83 to set up another edition of the historic city showdown.

The reds, much like Maccabi, made little changes to their squad over the summer. Imports J'Covan Brown, Jaylen Hoard and Xavier Munford remained, with the additions of swingman Braian Angola, forward John Holland and center Kyle Alexander. As for Israelis, Hapoel will once again count on Tomer Ginat, Bar Timor and Idan Zalmanson.
The winner of the derby will face either Hapoel Jerusalem or Hapoel Holon, who will face off against each other in the other semis.
