On Sunday in Naples (8:00 PM), there's a chance to overturn one of their two home defeats against direct rivals Varese and Udine. The Neapolitan team has only two points more in the standings, having beaten Treviso, Reggio Emilia, and Trento.

Napoli's strengths are point guards Mitrou-Long and Bolton, and wingers Simms and Flagg, who consistently score in double figures. Dinamo coach Veljko Mrsic observes: "Their wingers are strong and fast. We'll have to be quick to get back on defense and defend well in one-on-one situations, because they often attack in the opening seconds of the play."

Point guard Buie and guard Johnson should return, having been prudently rested during the pointless trip to Germany, which could not have affected Banco's lead and qualification.

Napoli has two former players: Stefano Gentile and Kaspar Treier, who are averaging 2 points so far.
