VTB United League 2019 portion of the 2018-19 Regular Season started with one game on Saturday and five more on Sunday, Christmas Eve for the Russians. CSKA Moscow and Lokomotiv Kuban strolled to comfortable home wins, UNICS avoided an upset and Zenit Saint-Petersburg got back on the win column. However, an Avtodor Saratov player deserves the MVP of the Week honors.
