More Basketball Champions League Play-In action coming up this week

The Basketball Champions League Play-In Round continues with five games to be held Wednesday. Three contests were rescheduled for next week according to the Return to Play Protocol.

The inaugural BCL champion Lenovo Tenerife is set to host last year’s runner-up Pinar Karsiyaka to open the best-of-three series. Last season’s MVP Bonzie Colson has banked in more than 20 points in two out of his three appearances with Karsiyaka on the road and certainly hopes for another productive showing at Santiago Martin Wednesday.

Other Game 1 matchups feature Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem, coming off three wins in a row to wrap up the Regular Season, hosting Ukraine champion Prometey and NutriBullet Treviso colliding with Lavrio Megabolt at Palaverde. Both contests are part of the five-game Wednesday schedule.

SIG Strasbourg up 1-0 versus PAOK mateco will travel to Greece aiming to clinch a berth to the Round of 16. The team based in Thessaloniki targets to snap a three-game losing streak in the Champions League and extend the series to Game 3.

The other clinching opportunity belongs to Besiktas Icrypex but the Turkish side will be at home against Hapoel U-NET Holon. The visitors looking to return the series to Israel replaced Maurizio Buscaglia with Guy Goodes at the head coaching position after Game 1.

Wednesday, 18:00 CET
Besiktas Icrypex – Hapoel U-NET Holon (Besiktas leads 1-0)
