SILUTE, Lithuania (Interstat) — A quick rematch with playoff implications is set for Sunday when Kedainiu SC visits Silute in a Lithuanian NKL matchup.

The teams just met on Thursday, with Silute escaping with an 88-85 road victory. That result tightened the standings, with Kedainiu SC (22-18) looking to solidify its position and Silute (18-23) aiming to build momentum for a late-season push.

The game will feature a compelling duel between two dominant forwards. Kedainiu SC’s Rokas Uzas is coming off a 21-point, 14-rebound performance in the loss and has been on a scoring tear, averaging 26.2 points over his last five games. For Silute, Gerrale Gates was the difference-maker on Thursday, logging 40 minutes and posting 28 points and 14 rebounds. His recent form has been stellar, with two 28-point double-doubles in his last three outings.

The head-to-head series this season is tightly contested. After Silute’s win on Thursday, the teams split their two previous meetings, with Kedainiu SC winning 90-72 on the road in October and 89-85 in overtime at home in January.

Kedainiu SC has lost four of its last five games despite Uzas’s strong play. Silute has been inconsistent but is 2-2 in its last four, with both wins featuring explosive performances from Gates.

The outcome could hinge on which star forward gets more support. For Kedainiu SC, Ignas Lukosius (20 points, 7 rebounds on Thursday) will be key. Silute will rely on playmaker Lukas Kazlauskas, who dished 12 assists in the last meeting.

Tip-off is scheduled for Sunday, March 22, 2026. The teams will complete a rare home-and-home set just two days later on Tuesday, March 24, in Kedainiai.
