The yellows are in good spirits and relatively healthy, with only Wade Baldwin IV still nursing a hamstring injury. Per head coach Oded Kattash, the guard has a chance to return to action later in the series.

"I hope we learned the lesson from the cup final and be much more aggressive", said Kattash ahead of the game, referencing the loss to Jerusalem a month ago. "We waited for this matchup, we knew it was going to happen. They are a good team and we expect a physical game".
Jerusalem are without swingman Levi Randolph who injured his ankle in game 3 of the team's sweep of Hapoel Holon. Maccabi's rivals are also missing centers Zach Hankins and Gabi Chachashvili.
