Cedevita's (0-9) quest for a first win continues with a visit from Hapoel (6-2), which is looking to protect its position in the playoff places.
Game Notes and Facts: Cedevita vs. Hapoel

Hapoel is looking for a third straight win after last week overcoming Besiktas thanks to another strong performance from J'Covan Brown, who has averaged 17 points and 7.7 assists in the last three games and will be relishing the opportunity to go up against the second-weakest defense in the competition, with Cedevita allowing an average of 90.2 points per game. The Slovenian team does have plenty of firepower, with fit-again Justin Cobbs registering 19 and 21 points in his two games since returning from injury.
GAME NOTES
- This is the second time that these two teams meet in the EuroCup.
- Earlier this season, Hapoel managed to take the home win, 100-73.
