U-BT Cluj-Napoca’s EuroCup encounter against Hapoel Jerusalem is a challenging test. Coach Mihai Silvasan underscores, “This is a crucial game for us, and we’ve been preparing diligently to show that we are in top form.” Cluj is ready to use its defense to stop Jerusalem’s outstanding players, especially its main scorers, with a complete squad and no injuries.
Cluj center Zach Hankins appreciates Hapoel Jerusalem’s strength but emphasizes the necessity of retaining their intensity and flair. He emphasizes the need to restrict Jerusalem’s star guard, Jared Harper, who scores 20.8 points each game. Hankins feels their success depends on controlling the tempo and being aggressive.
Given both teams’ competitiveness and offensive prowess, a high-scoring game is expected. The betting line over 164.5 points appears acceptable, given both teams’ offensive strength and their recent form, with U-BT Cluj-Napoca winning 4 out of their last 5 games and Hapoel Jerusalem on a 3-game winning streak.
