| Otis Antoine Livingston | 12.5 | 2.4 | 4.7 | 0.7/0.0 |
Joventut’s home-court strength, better recent form, and inside efficiency should give them control of the game. Girona can threaten with perimeter shooting, but Joventut’s experience and depth are likely to decide it late. We are backing Joventut to win this matchup.
