The hosts are coming off back-to-back defeats, which dropped their record to 3-4 on the season. Last time out, on the road at Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse, Prometey lost 92-85. This season has seen Gian Clavell, DJ Stephens and DJ Kennedy show what they can do in the EuroCup, averaging a combined 39.0 points per game, but against Bourg they had 28 points between them. Prometey was without Caleb Agada and his 15.2 points per game, too. Yet, the competition's second-best offense at 86.1 points per contest will hope to arrest its mini slide in Round 8, with the team's star players likely to play a big role in any success Prometey has.
Cluj, meanwhile, recorded an impressive 98-82 win in Round 7 at home to Joventut Badalona. The problem for Cluj is that it has been far better at BT-arena than it has been on the road, going 3-1 in Cluj-Napoca and 0-3 on its travels. Leonardo Meindl continued his impressive debut EuroCup campaign with a game-high 21 points against Joventut, while Karel Guzman and Patrick Richard contributed 19 and 14 points, respectively. Cluj has the best offense in the EuroCup at 87.4 points per night, so it will have to lean on that side of the ball if it is to come away with its first road win on Wednesday evening.
