Winless Cedevita (0-3) will look for its first win of the season with a visit from Prometey (1-2), which is also struggling after two straight losses. Prometey, which won both meetings between the teams last season, is the top rebounding team in the EuroCup, averaging 41.3 boards per game, with 9.3 of those coming from Ondrey Balvin. Cedevita has committed more turnovers than any other team in the league, 18 per game, and needs to count on more than just the consistent excellence of Justin Cobbs, who has averaged 19 points on outstanding 21-of-33 field goal shooting.
Pre-game quotes: Cedevita vs. Prometey

Andrea Turchetto, Cedevita Olimpija assistant coach
"We will play against a very strong team that likes to play uptempo basketball. Prometey is a very physical team with a lot of very talented players. We need to be focused on our jobs. We need to keep working on our game. We need to improve day by day, and work on our chemistry. We are still a new team, so I hope, that our work and progress will show soon on the court."
Ronen Ginzburg, Prometey head coach
"They are a team with many expectations. They added another new player in Prepelic, and they have a lot of experience. We need to play like we did in the first quarter in our last game against Besiktas. If we do more of that, we should be able to win games. We have to play good defense and do our thing on offense."

Karlo Matkovic, Cedevita Olimpija player
"A tough match is ahead of us, as a great team will be our opponent. We play at home, so we need to step on the court ready to give it our best. We know, what kind of positiong we are in, so a win would be very good for us."
Oleksandr Lypovyy, Prometey player
"After two losses in the EuroCup we did not find our structure on defense. We should play better defense. Cedevita has two quality players in Justin Cobbs and Jaka Blazic, and we need to play well. This is an important game for us."
