Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Haifa
Just five days ago, the teams met in Romme for a complete game from the third round, in which Maccabi cruised to victory 59:80.
Since then, the yellows managed to be defeated by Real Madrid by 33 points yesterday, in a loss that stopped a streak of six victories in all competitions.
Oded Ketch decided not to dress Wade Baldwin and Lorenzo Brown, since later this week his team has two Euroleague games - on the fourth against Partizan Belgrade at home and on the sixth against Panathinaikos in Athens.
Hapoel Haifa understands that the more important tasks this week will come in the match for the home lead in the European Cup against Finland's Karhu on Tuesday and in the quarter-finals of the cup at Hapoel Holon on Saturday night, but they want to look better than in the home defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv last week.

Hapoel Upper Galilee - Hapoel Jerusalem 83:89
Before the game, Itai Moshkovitz received the title of the outstanding Israeli of the month of December in the league, and then left for honor to show that he intends to threaten to win the same award in January as well: the guard of Upper Galilee recorded an impressive career record of 25 points tonight and led Barak Peleg's team to a fourth victory In five games, this is when she plays again with only three foreigners.
The Northerners took control of things already in the first quarter and opened a double-digit gap that peaked at 19 and held until the last quarter, when even after an equally respectable comeback by the guest, led by Oz Blazer and Kadin Carrington, Moskovitz was the one who stopped the opponent's momentum with a beautiful basket in the turn, And finally he was honored in the last points of the game.
