Hezonja contributes more in rebounding than his counterpart with 4.5 per game this season, while Hilliard has chipped in 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals – plus 3.5 turnovers – per game. Each also tends to draw a lot of fouls due to their attacking nature and if either gets the other in early foul trouble, it could have a significant impact on the outcome. While this will be the first time the two square off, Hezonja scored 14 for Panathinaikos OPAP Athens against Bayern last season. Hilliard has yet to face UNICS.
