Still without Giannis Sfairopoulos and two of his assistants, Maccabi Playtika Tel-Aviv will try to get a third Euroleague win in a row, this time against Zalgiris Kaunas on Tuesday (20:00 Israel time, 1 pm ET).
Maccabi will also miss Jake Cohen, who tested positive for Covid-19 and stayed in Israel. "We're facing a very difficult away game," said Avi Even, who will coach in Sfairopoulos' absence just before leaving for Kaunas. "Their position in the table does not reflect the quality of the team and players that they have."
Zalgiris is going through a bad season and won only three times in 19 games. As of now, the Greens are on a streak of six losses. Maccabi's historic head-to-head record against Zalgiris is positive and stands on 19 wins and nine losses.
