Two versatile and aggressive swingmen are set to face each other for the first time.

Marquee matchup: Andorra's Crawford vs. Lietkabelis's Kalaitzakis

Drew Crawford is in his first season with MoraBanc Andorra, averaging 10.0 points on 41.2% three-pointers and 3.2 rebounds so far this season. Crawford needs to make the most out of his experience and athleticism against Panagiotis Kalaitzakis, one of the most pleasant surprises in the EuroCup this season. Kalaitzakis currently is Lietkabelis's second-best scorer, averaging 14.8 points on 68.2% two-point shooting. He has also been worth 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, ranking 22nd overall in PIR (16.0).

Andorra is undefeated at home and looks to remain that way, led by Codi Miller-McIntyre (15.5 ppg., 4.7 rpg., 7.3 apg.), Drew Crawford (10.0 ppg.) and Clevin Hannah (9.2 ppg.) Lietkabelis comes off an 87-77 home win against Joventut Badalona and wants to turn that into what would be its first winning streak of the season. Gediminas Orelik (15.7 ppg.) has been its top scorer until now, followed by Panagiotis Kalaitzakis (14.8 ppg.) and Vytenis Lipkevicius (9.3 ppg.). Expect a hard-fought game at Poliesportiu d'Andorra on Tuesday.

Joventut Badalona ranks second in assists (21.7 apg.) and two-point shooting percentage (59.1% 2FG) in the EuroCup this season and needs this kind of ball circulation and effectiveness to beat Boulogne Metropolitans 92.

Keys to victory: Joventut vs. Metropolitans

It is also third in defensive rebounds (27.3 drpg.), which could be critical for the hosts to get going in transition. Stopping Will Cummings should be important and Joventut relies on Pau Ribas and Ferran Bassas to do so. Metropolitans rank high in offensive rebounds (11.2 orpg., fifth overall), blocks (3.0 bpg., sixth) and two-point shooting (55.4% 2FG, seventh). If the guests limit Ante Tomic and Derek Willis in the paint, they should have a better chance to win the game.

Two very different, yet very effective centers are set to face each other when Joventut Badalona hosts Boulogne Metropolitans 92 in Round 7.

Marquee matchup: Joventut's Tomic vs. Metropolitans's Hunter

Ante Tomic, a two-time All-EuroLeague First Team selection, is a very experienced center with outstanding passing skills and a great set of post moves, highlighted by a high-release jump hook. He is averaging 11.7 points on 67.6% two-point shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists this season. Vince Hunter was chosen as the EuroCup Top 16 MVP last season with Virtus Segafredo Bologna and is the top rebounder of the competition this season with 9.2 boards per night. Hunter is also averaging 14.2 points on 63.2% two-point shooting for Metropolitans. This duel in the paint will have a big impact on Wednesday.

Joventut Badalona (4-2) welcomes Boulogne Metropolitans 92 (3-3) in a never-seen-before showdown in European competitions.

Joventut, Metropolitans finally meet

Joventut is undefeated at home after three games, led by Joel Parra (12.2 ppg., 4.2 rpg.), Ante Tomic (11.7 ppg., 5.5 rpg., 4.2 apg.) and Pau Ribas (10.0 ppg., 5.0 apg.). Metropolitans have already recorded a road victory in Hamburg, Germany, and looks for another. Will Cummings (18.5 ppg.) has been its top scorer until now, followed by Vince Hunter (14.2 ppg.) and Keith Hornsby (9.7 ppg.). Both teams made it to the EuroCup Quarterfinals last season, so expect an intense showdown at Palau Olimpic de Badalona.

Dolomiti Energia Trento seems to have turned a corner in recent weeks after an 0-4 start.

Keys to victory: Trento vs. Turk Telekom

Last week it made 42.1% of its threes and outrebounded Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar. Attacking the glass through Jordan Caroline and Johnathan Williams could bear fruits against Turk Telekom Ankara, which has allowed opponents 13.0 offensive rebounds per game. The hosts must also continue to make their shots after posting league-worst shooting numbers in the first month of the season. Turk Telekom must continue finding good looks for three-point ace Aaron Harrison because when defenses are preoccupied with him, it opens things for the entire attack.

Though Wesley Saunders of Dolomiti Energia Trento and Aaron Harrison of Turk Telekom Ankara have very different styles, their matchup at shooting guard will be among the most important in this game.

Marquee matchup: Trento’s Saunders vs. Turk Telekom’s Harrison

Saunders scored a season-high 18 points last week and is averaging 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. An effective scorer, he is best known for his defensive toughness and game smarts, which will come in handy against Harrison. The Turk Telekom shooter leads the competition with 21 threes so fat this season and is among the EuroCup’s top 10 scorers with 18.0 points per game. If Saunders can match Harrison’s production, whether with a big offensive game or by containing his opponent, it will help the hosts tremendously.

Dolomiti Energia Trento and Turk Telekom Ankara face off on Tuesday looking for wins to bounce back from Round 6 losses.

Trento, Turk Telekom seek momentum-changing win

Trento (1-5) nearly pulled off an upset in Russia but faltered late in losing 97-95 at Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar. Wesley Saunders and Desonta Bradford scored 18 points apiece for Trento in defeat. Turk Telekom (3-3) was routed 98-75 at MoraBanc Andorra despite 20 points on 6-of-8 three-point shooting by Aaron Harrison. It was Turk Telekom’s fifth consecutive road loss dating back to prior seasons. Trento, which was 6-2 at home last season, is 1-2 so far on its home court in the current campaign. They previously met in the 2018-19 season when Turk Telekom sept the regular-season series.

The guards will play key roles when ratiopharm Ulm faces Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse.

Keys to victory: Ulm vs. Bourg

Ulm plays at a faster pace than Bourg and if Semaj Christon and Thomas Klepeisz can push the pace, it will aid the hosts. The two teams are also among the better three-point shooting teams with Bourg making 39.9% of its threes and Ulm 37.9%. Neither is particularly adept in three-point defense, so the accuracy of top shooters like Jaron Blossomgame, Christon and Klepeisz for Ulm and Pierre Pelos, Axel Julien and Rasheed Sulaimon could prove decisive.
