Bursaspor looks for defensive improvement
Bursaspor must try to improve its defense to be more competitive in the most decisive games of the season. It has allowed 85.3 points per night and that number has risen to 91.0 in the last three games. Defense should come first for Bursaspor, which has allowed just 72.0 points in wins and 91.2 in losses. John Holland made his Bursaspor debut and should be ready to give his new team deep shooting range and much-needed experience. Derek Needham should make the most out of his experience in his matchup against Axel Julien and Hugo Benitez. If Bursaspor gets Kevarrius Hayes involved down low, it should have a better chance to win.

Magic Moment: What a pass by Benitez!
Bourg relies on its shooters
Bourg leads the 2021-22 EuroCup in three-point shooting at 42.1% and should keep making the most out of it, finding open looks for its best shooters - Julien, Maxime Courby and Calvin Harris. Stopping Andrew Andrews should be important, as Bursaspor has been running its offense through him lately, averaging 25.7 points and a PIR of 27.0 in the last three games. Bourg dishes 1.7 assists per turnover, which is fourth overall. Benitez ranks second in the competition with 4.5 assists per turnover. If Bourg can control the game tempo and Rasheed Sulaimon finds good one-on-one opportunities, Bourg should have a good opportunity.
