After seeing a promising upturn in form ended by last week's loss against Prometey, Reyer (3-5) will look to get back on the playoff trail with a visit from a Hamburg team (1-7) whose hopes of challenging for the knockout stages are fast fading.

Reyer is one of the best two-point shooting teams in the competition, making 56.9% of shots inside the arc, and will look for Kyle Wiltjer (11.2 points per game) to register his fifth straight double-digit scoring night. Hamburg will look to control him through the dependable William Christmas (7.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game), who has made at least one steal every game this season.
Neven Spahija, Venice head coach
"Like every EuroCup game, it is important and dangerous. Hamburg is not winning a lot, but we saw how dangerous they can be. They are solid and well-coached. We do not have much time to prepare, but we are healthy and eager to play in front of our fans, It will not be easy, but we are ready."
Aamir Simms, Venice player
"Coming off a loss in the last game, we have a different edge coming into tomorrow's game. I think we'll perform better than we did. We also have JP back, so he should be help on both sides. We will have to play hard for 40 minutes and hope we come out victorious."
