Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana (1-6) will try to build off its recent success and a record-breaking performance to take another step in its climb up the standings when it hosts Germani Brescia (2-5) in the Slovenian capital on Wednesday. Cedevita started the season with six consecutive losses, but ended that streak last week with a 30-point beating against ratiopharm Ulm, a game in which it set club records in scoring (108) and three-pointers made (17).

Zoran Dragic and Karlo Matkovic, who recovered from respective injuries, gave the team a much-needed boost and the two players have combined to average 26.5 points over the last two games with Matkovic also posting 8.0 rebounds per game.
Brescia, on the other hand, has lost its last four games and has failed to score more than 70 points in three of those contests. Brescia will need to step up defensively as a way to keep up with Cedevita's offense. Brescia averages 78.6 points this season, the fourth fewest in the competition, while Cedevita has scored 89 or more points in each of the last three games. Brescia will also need to attack the hosts inside. Cedevita allows opponents a league-high 59.0% on two-pointers and Brescia must find a way to exploit it.
