Both teams currently hold identical 2-2 records, making this a crucial match for one of them to achieve a winning record.

Kiriat Ata enters the game with momentum after defeating Bnei Herzliya 97-87 at home in their previous match. Notably, in that game, Kiriat Ata's Israeli players scored 78 points collectively, with none of their foreign players reaching double digits. Captain Tomer Assaig led the team with 19 points and seven assists, earning him a spot in the league's weekly honor roll for the second time this season.

Their last loss, which dropped them to a 6-6 record from which they couldn't recover to a winning season, was against Nes Ziona, 100-91.
