Partizan – Baskonia

Nikola Tanaskovic has taken on a big role over the last two rounds: 27-29 minutes, with 19 points and 5 rebounds (24) and 11 points and 7 rebounds (18). Before that he played 9-23 minutes and had not gone past 13 combined.

He faces Baskonia, who allow 93.1 points per game, the third-worst defense in the EuroLeague. If he keeps the minutes of his recent games, 14+ points and rebounds is realistic, and overtime counts.

The risk: in 10 games this season he has reached it only twice (average 11.8). It all depends on whether his new role is permanent.
