Paris has scored at least 93 points in each of its last five games, most recently with explosive guard Nadir Hifi contributing 26 points in a big home win over London to maintain his record of double-digit scoring in every game. Prometey will hope that Gian Clavell can maintain his good form in the backcourt after pairing 17 points with 6 assists to help defeat Cedevita last time out.
Mantas Sernius, Prometey assistant coach
"Paris are the leading team. They play with confidence and they play really well in the EuroCup. Mentally we have to come strong to this game but we also have to prepare physically. They run a lot and keep the high tempo and intensity, so we have to be ready for that. We also need to stop their leaders, it all starts with their guards. They control everything, players like Hifi, who is a scoring machine. We have to pay a lot of attention to him. We need to control the boards, offensive rebounds are an important factor in this game."
Vyacheslav Bobrov, Prometey player
"They are an ambitious team. They play fast basketball, they run a lot of breaks and score a lot. We need to stop them in defense and also prepare our sets. We have to crash the boards and avoid their runs. They had a few games that were close, but in a couple of minutes Paris could pull away and then it's hard to be back at the game. Our main goal has to be boxing out and trying to play more inside. He have to stop their main guards Hifi and Shorts, because they score and they create a lot."
