Rebounding well may be critical for Bursaspor
Bursaspor has won its last two games and its last four at home. Despite some roster turnover, Bursaspor has played well on offense and reached 80 points in each of its last seven games. The combination of few turnovers (11.7 per game are second-fewest in the competition) and excellent three-point shooting (39.1%, third-best in EuroCup) has fueled the team, however, it must also rebound well against Valencia, the EuroCup leader with 40.0 boards per game. Valencia has outrebounded opponents by 8.9 per game and Bursaspor has been outrebounded by 2.2.

Scoring in the paint could boost Valencia
Valencia, which has won three straight games, is 5-2 on the road this season. It has found success inside and that may be the way to take down Bursaspor. Valencia has made 56.0% of its two-point shots this season, which is fifth-best in the competition. Bursaspor has allowed opponents to make 57.0% of twos against it. Strong play from Mike Tobey, Bojan Dubljevic and Jaime Pradilla in the paint could make the difference this week.
