This will be the seventh consecutive season for Dolomiti Energia Trento in the EuroCup and in 2023-24, the club hopes to return to the playoffs, something it accomplished only when it reached the semifinals in its debut 2015-16 campaign. Trento, which also enters this season on a 23-game road losing streak that dates back to November 2020, hopes to end all kinds of negative streaks in Group B. Here are some of the most important games Trento will face this season.

Round 3 vs. Dreamland Gran Canaria
This game is not on Trento's list of games to watch solely because the defending EuroCup champion comes to town. Last season, Trento was 0-5 and on a 17-game losing streak in the EuroCup going into a home game against Gran Canaria. But Trento played one of its best games of the season and pulled out a 75-72 win. Even in Las Palmas later in the season, Trento gave Gran Canaria a good fight before the hosts held on for a 94-88 win. Now, with Gran Canaria arriving as the reigning champion, it will be one to watch.
Over the last five years, since October 2018, Trento and Turk Telekom have faced off six times and Turk Telekom has won each one of those games. Moreover, Trento has never scored more than 77 points in any of those clashes despite all the coaching and roster changes. So, it is no question that Trento would love to end that trend against Turk Telekom, the reigning EuroCup runner-up, especially at this early point of the regular season. It would surely be a step towards ending another streak with Trento getting into the playoffs for the first time in eight years. A showdown against Turk Telekom is an opportunity for Trento to send a clear message that the team has higher ambitions this season.
For the third year in a row Trento and Slask face off in the regular season. The home teams have triumphed in each of the four clashes so far, including Trento's 72-61 win in a regular season finale last season with Luca Conti playing a career-high 30 minutes and scoring a career-best 15 points, while Diego Flaccadori flirted with a triple-double. Considering that Slask and Trento both missed the playoffs in the previous campaign, this time both sides enter the season with the goal to improve and get back to the EuroCup postseason, so this mid-January clash has all the makings of a must-win affair.
