Hapoel Tel Aviv Team News
Hapoel Tel Aviv is in good form. The Israeli team has ten consecutive wins, five of which were in the EuroCup. The team from Tel Aviv is currently in second place with a score of 9-2, and their last defeat was against Prometey in mid-November.
When you look at the recent results, it is clear that Hapoel Tel Aviv plays very fast and efficient basketball. After Paris, they have the best average of points per match, and this comes with team play, as evidenced by the number of assists (23.3 per match). Offensively, they are dangerous from all positions and have the potential to score over 90 points on anyone in the EuroCup. They had injury problems so they reacted very quickly and brought in Will Cummings and Dez Wells. Jaylen Hoard is the connective tissue of the team who does everything for the team, while forward Xavier Munford is in excellent form and scored 25 points against Reyer with only three misses (5 of 6 three-pointers). In the last games, John Holland also shone, scoring 20 and 25 points.

To get into free shooting positions and take advantage of his great form, while in the paint Kyle Alexander will try to dominate (8.3 rebounds per game).
Hamburg Team News
Hamburg is in a very difficult situation in the EuroCup. They achieved only two wins and even the triumph against the London Lions did not improve the situation. In the last two matches, they suffered heavy defeats in which they conceded too many points (Bonn scored 108 in the Bundesliga, Paris scored 120 in the EuroCup).
The German team cannot find a solution for a better game. Just when it seemed that the offense was quality after the wins over Tubingen and London, two poor editions defensively followed. Hamburg’s players were too often lost in rotations and left their rivals with many open positions that they knew how to punish. Therefore, coach Benka Barloschky stressed that the team must play much smarter and much better team defense. However, it is easy to say and difficult to do. In the offense, the game of the German team will depend a lot on William Christmas, who was in double figures in the last three matches in the EuroCup.
If they want to achieve a favorable result in Belgrade, Hamburg will have to play a much better defense and not leave too much space for the rival, and to reduce the number of turnovers. Otherwise, they will be in trouble.
