PARI NN
This season hasn't been easy for PARI NN, currently sitting third from the bottom in the VTB United League table with five wins from 18 games. Despite a merely decent win-loss ratio, they've got the spirit of fighters and refuse to be the toast of tragedy. Their recent label as the "most unpleasant team to play against" is a testament to their aggressive, contact-heavy defense and relentless defensive effort - though the strategy hasn't yielded the desired results yet due to an ongoing injury crisis that's causing significant lineup issues.
UNICS
As the defending champions, UNICS is feeling confident and fierce this season. They're currently in second place in the overall standings with 14 wins after 18 games. UNICS is on a remarkable five-game winning streak, which commenced with a 30-point demolition of PARI NN at home (91:61) on December 6th. Joining Eric Green in the week's final team, the UNICS' point guard and main playmaker Dimitrijevic has been lauded by league GMs as the league's best point guard and one of the top three foreign players.
