Cluj (2-1) hosts Buducnost (2-1) in a key game in the race for the knockout phase. The home team will be powered by D.J. Seeley, the league's second-highest scorer with an average of 19.3 points per game, including 22 in last week's narrow loss at Bourg. Buducnost bases its offense on a strong inside game, scoring 28 two-pointers on 43 attempts in last week's big win over Slask. Feeding the ball to JaCorey Williams, who registered a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds last time out, will be essential for the visiting team in Wednesday's opening tip-off.
