Group A co-leader Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse will look to keep its hit start going when it faces 7Bet Lietkabelis Panevezys, which is coming off its first win. Bourg (2-0), which held off U-BT Cluj-Napoca in its opener and outlasted Umana Reyer Venice on the road last week, is off to its best-ever start in a EuroCup campaign. Two big reasons for Bourg’s strong start are James Palmer (16.5 ppg., 3.5 spg.) and Isiaha Mike (13.5 ppg., 5.5 rpg.).

Lietkabelis (1-1) won its home opener last week against ratiopharm Ulm after losing in Round 1 at Promotey Slobozhanske. Coach Nenad Canak’s squad has employed a balanced attack with 7 players averaging at least 7 points per game. Sixth-man Kristian Kullamae (12.5 ppg., 4.5 apg.) and big man Gabrielius Maldunas (9 ppg., 7 rpg.) have been among Lietkabelis’s top performers so far.

While Lietkabelis leads the EuroCup in two-point shooting accuracy at 62.3%, it is among the worst three-point shooting teams in the competition (25.5%). Bourg’s 45.2% shooting from behind the arc is the fourth-best this season, though Lietkabelis has held its opponents to a EuroCup-low 21.6% shooting on threes. Three-point shooting could become a deciding factor in this game.
