Zenit vs Lokomotiv Kuban. Preview

A strong conclusion to the first stage of the regular season helped the opponents surpass our team and move up to third place in the standings. This position is currently interim, however, we need to be cautious: the gap between Zenit and Loko is currently two wins, and in case of failure, it will increase... So we intend to narrow this gap and closely approach the leading trio. We will exert all our efforts for this!

As for the leaders of Loko, let's highlight DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell — the forward averages 17 points for his team, grabs 3.4 rebounds, and makes 2.1 assists. Not far behind him is Jaylen Barford: 14.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists. Also in the top three is another American, Okarо White — averaging 12.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.
