KB vs MOS Dream11: Saski Baskonia will look to bounce back from two straight defeats in EuroLeague when they host reigning champions CSKA Moscow in round-9 at Fernando Buesa Arena.
Baskonia now finds itself outside the top half of the table, with a 3-5 return on the regular season. They are the 2nd worst team in points-per-game aggregation, but the defense hold good, after allowing a combined 610 points in the first 8 games. But the hosts will have to do better than that if they are to win the game against CSKA or look to improve their standing on the points table. The offense has to improve.
CSKA, meanwhile, come off a run of just two wins in the last four games, and that return has seen them succumbing the top-spot to their opponents. But having said that, Moscow can still end the round 9 at the top of the pile with a win over Baskonia here, after Olimpia Milano’s 92-88 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Captain options:
There are a lot of options for captain in this team, with a couple of players, on each team’s roster, in good form of late.
From Baski, Tornike Shengelia is averaging in the double-digits and should be in your team. His teammate Youssoupha Fall is contributing with the fourth-best return in offensive rebounds with 2.4 per game.
While the obvious choice for any Dream11 player in this game is CSKA Moscow’s, Mike James. He is the 2nd best player in EuroLeague this season with 20.0 points per game.
Moscow have Nikita Kurbanov and Darrun Hilliard on their roster for this game. The duo has been impressive in every sense, especially from the arc.
