Paris comes off a 74-77 victory at Buducnost VOLI Podgorica in which players scored in double figures. Kyle Allman has been the team’s top scorer with 20.6 points per game, which is second-most in the competition. Ismael Kamagate (10.2 ppg., 7.6 rpg., 2.2 bpg.) has been an anchor inside; he leads the EuroCup in blocks and is 10th in rebounds.
Hamburg comes off its worst game of the season, a 75-103 home loss against London Lions, and will look to bounce back right away. Big man Yoeli Childs (13.4 ppg., 66.7 FG%, 8.6 rpg.), who is tied for fourth in the competition in rebounds, has been Hamburg’s chief inside and Kendale McCullum (11.8 ppg., 5.8 apg., 2.2 spg.), who is tied for fourth in assists and fifth in steals, runs the show.
The pressure that the Paris guards put on their counterparts could play a big role as Paris is third in the EuroCup in steals (8.6 spg.) and Hamburg has committed the most turnovers in the competition (18.2 per game). However, Hamburg also forces a lot of turnovers (16.2), so it could go either way.
