SIBIU, Romania (Interstat) — CSO Voluntari visits Atlassib Sibiu on Friday at Transilvania Hall in a Romanian Divizia A matchup that carries postseason implications for both sides.

Voluntari (22-10) enters on a high note after routing Sibiu 102-85 on Monday in their last meeting. That victory snapped a two-game skid for Voluntari, which had dropped consecutive road games at Craiova. The team sits comfortably in the upper half of the standings and looks to solidify its position.

Sibiu (16-16) has struggled lately, losing three of its last four, including that 17-point defeat to Voluntari. The home team will be eager to defend its floor after splitting the season series so far. Sibiu won 85-64 at home on April 14, but Voluntari responded with the 102-85 win in the return leg five days ago.

Guard Giordan Watson has been a catalyst for Voluntari. In Monday’s win, he played 32 minutes, scoring 14 points with three rebounds and 11 assists. Over his last five games, Watson has averaged 10.6 points and 6.6 assists, though he struggled in back-to-back losses to Craiova earlier this month. His playmaking will be critical against a Sibiu defense that allowed 102 points on Monday.

Forward Anthony Smith leads Sibiu. In Monday’s loss, he posted 14 points, six rebounds, five assists and one block in 27 minutes. Smith has been consistent in recent outings, averaging 17.2 points and 7.4 rebounds over his last five games despite the team’s overall struggles. He will need support from guards M.J. Randolph and Andreas Blidaru, who combined for 32 points on Monday.

The teams have met three times this season, with Voluntari holding a 2-1 edge. In the only game at Transilvania Hall, Sibiu won 85-64 on April 14. Voluntari’s Lee Skinner (17 points Monday) and Laszlo Polyak (14 points) also pose threats.

Tipoff is at 7 p.m. local time.
