Slask has struggled in front of its fans so far this season, averaging just 64.5 points in home games. That's 10 points lower than any other team in home games. Slask is shooting the ball really poorly at home (45.4% 2FG, 28.6% 3FG) and is last overall in three-point shooting percentage, having made 18 of 64 shots from downtown (28.1% 3FG). Lukasz Kolenda (14.2 ppg.), Jeremiah Martin (16.5 ppg.) and Jakub Niziol (11.5 ppg.) are its main perimeter players and should keep leading the team as Slask tries to find answers on offense.
Speaking of putting the ball in the basket, Promitheas is tied for the competition lead in scoring (87.5 ppg.) until now, finding good options inside and outside the paint. Combo guard Joe Young (24.3 ppg.) is the EuroCup's top scorer and Promitheas should keep finding him on offense. Three-point threat Arnoldas Kubolka (12.0 ppg., 7.8 rpg.) and rock-solid big man George Conditt (10.2 ppg., 60.7% 2FG) give coach Makis Giatras more options on offense. If Promitheas boxes out well and plays in transition, it should have a better chance to win.
