Match Preview
The Lithuanian champions are already in a must-win situation after just six rounds. They still seem to be adjusting to the departure of Sylvain Francisco, while ASVEL don't have much to lose on Friday.
Zalgiris Searching for Defensive Stability
Zalgiris Kaunas are off to a terrible start in the EuroLeague, failing to meet expectations after securing just two victories in their opening six rounds. They currently sit in 14th place.
Their confidence skyrocketed after beating Barcelona 88-81 in Spain in the fourth round, but they failed to build on that result and lost convincingly to Fenerbahce 99-80 in Istanbul to start last Tuesday's double-round action.
The Greens were labeled big favorites in front of their home crowd against Anadolu Efes but delivered arguably their worst performance of the season, losing 85-70. Their shooting was disastrous, with just 39% from the field. Carsen Edwards was the top scorer with 16 points despite shooting 5/16 from the field.
Another Rough Season for ASVEL Expected
After all the turmoil surrounding sponsors withdrawing from ASVEL earlier this summer and star signings leaving the team, it is no surprise to see them struggling in the EuroLeague with a 2-4 record.
Tony Parker's side staged a comeback in the French derby to edge Paris 98-96 in the fourth round. They then went toe-to-toe with Crvena Zvezda at home but lost 84-82, with Chris Jones scoring a jump shot at the buzzer.
In their most recent EuroLeague appearance, ASVEL couldn't stop Real Madrid's offense, suffering a convincing 111-92 defeat in Spain last Thursday. Tyty Washington had a decent performance with 17 points.

Verdict
Defense has been one of Zalgiris' biggest problems so far this season, and this is a perfect opportunity to improve in that area. The home side is unlikely to force a fast-paced game against ASVEL's athletic squad, so Under 176.5 looks like the best bet.
