Swingmen John Holland of Frutti Extra Bursaspor and Josep Puerto of Valencia Basket will engage in a key matchup when their teams square off on Wednesday.
Major matchup: Holland, Bursaspor vs. Puerto, Valencia



Holland was a midseason addition to the Bursaspor lineup and went off for 20 points on 5-of-8 three-point shooting and 6 rebounds in his first home game, a 96-89 victory over Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse last week. The small forward has ventured out to the three-point line more than ever before over his past two seasons and his ability to knock down shots from deep could be critical to this game’s outcome.

Puerto, 23, is a product of the Valencia youth team and he has started in 11 of his 14 appearances this season. At 2.00 meters, Puerto has both the size and speed to match up with Holland on the defensive end. He has also taken more than twice as many shots from downtown as from inside the arc this season and Valencia has won the last three times Puerto has scored more than 5 points. Puerto has the skills to influence the game on both ends this week.
