Malik Thomas has turned into a different animal for Partena Professional Okapi Aalst. The forward is averaging 23.8 points in recent form with a 64.4 TIB Efficiency rating — numbers that place him well clear of most scorers in the BNXT League right now. Eric Boone Jr. remains Brussels Basketball's engine: 11.7 points and 4.5 assists per game lately, running the offense with a 50.6 rating that speaks to his all-around impact. The gap between them on paper is stark. Thomas is in a goalscoring groove; Boone Jr. is doing different work — distributing, organizing, stretching defenses. Brussels will need to find answers on the perimeter and in transition if they're to keep Thomas from taking over the game the way he has been. Tip-off in three hours. Stream it live.
