The Take
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv hosts Khimki Moscow Region on Tuesday in a makeup game from Round 24. Maccabi (13-19) takes the floor after losing another makeup game to LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne less than 48 hours earlier. The Israeli champs have won only three of their last 11 games and are 8-8 at home this season. Khimki (4-28) has not won a game outside of Russia all season.
