Bursaspor is back on its home floor, where it is 2-1 after suffering a 78-65 road defeat at Umana Reyer Venice in Round 6. Onuralp Bitim had a very impressive performance, scoring 24 points and finishing with a PIR of 30, but Anthony Clemmons was the only other player to score a double-digit number of points with 12. Ahead of the visit of Lietkabelis, it will be important that Derek Needham and Zach Auguste improve on their Round 6 tallies of 6 and 8 points, respectively. Should Bursaspor's key players all shine, it might be a long night for the visitors.
Lietkabelis enters this game full of confidence following back-to-back wins at home against Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana and Germani Brescia in Rounds 5 and 6. The problem for Lietkabelis is that it is 4-0 in Panevezys but 0-3 on the road. It is therefore key that the team's main contributors, such as Jamel Morris, Gyorgy Goloman and Benas Griciunas, come to the fore against Bursaspor in Round 8. Another key element to any success Lietkabelis has could be the performance of Kristian Kullamae, who had just 4 points in his team's win over Brescia but had averaged 16.3 points in the previous three games.
