nov 02 2026EuroCup returns this week with its sixth matchday split between Tuesday and Thursday. Napoli, Hapoel Jerusalem, and Aris remain unbeaten, but one of the last two will lose their streak on Wednesday. For Spanish teams, the matchday presents three very different scenarios: Manresa seeks a third straight win, Burgos attempts to escape the basement, and La Laguna Tenerife looks to maintain their group B lead.
Lietkabelis-Kids&Us Manresa: European basketball smiling
While still winless in the Liga Endesa, Manresa has strung together two victories in the EuroCup and sits at 3-2. On Wednesday (18:00), they visit Panevezys in a direct matchup between two of the four teams tied for second place in group D. Diego Ocampo's squad leads the competition in steals, with JD Notae as the primary threat: he recorded five steals in Botevgrad. Lietkabelis arrives battered after losing at home to Ulm by 18 points, shooting just 33.8% from the field. According to Slovenian media, this could be the debut day for Luka Ščuka, Manresa's new interior reinforcement.

Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos-Rostock Seawolves: A Losing Streak Must End
Burgos (1-4) arrives at their worst moment. They've lost their last four European games, the most recent at home to Zelli, and fell in Madrid on Sunday. Their Wednesday opponent (20:30), Rostock, has the same record and comes in with three straight losses, so one of the two losing streaks will end at the Coliseum. Porfirio Fisac's squad will need to stop Zach Copeland, who hit five three-pointers last week in Tortona and averages 16.6 points. Joaquín Taboada, one of Burgos's new faces, is poised for increased playing time.
La Laguna Tenerife-Cluj: Defending the Lead
La Laguna Tenerife (4-1) closes out the matchday on Thursday (21:00 on the mainland, 20:00 in the Canary Islands) against Cluj (2-3), who come in with two heavy defeats. Jaka Lakovic's squad seeks their fourth straight European victory after narrowly beating Reyer, with Kyle Guy contributing 18 points. They arrive, however, after losing in A Coruña on Saturday. In Cluj, the threat is Otis Livingston, who posted 23 points and 10 assists against Frankfurt.
Hapoel Jerusalem-Aris: The Unbeaten Showdown
The marquee matchup of the week takes place Wednesday (20:00) in Jerusalem. Hapoel and Aris both arrive 5-0 and one will lose their unbeaten record. Aris boasts the second-best offense in the competition, with Neno Dimitrijević on a roll: at least 12 points and 4 assists in each of his last four games. Hapoel counters with their physicality and a very consistent Devontae Cacok.
Napoli-Trento: The Other Unbeaten, in an Italian Derby
Napoli (5-0) risks their unbeaten record on Tuesday (20:00) in a derby against Trento (2-3), who bounced back last week with a dramatic victory over Budućnost. The key will be in the backcourt: Darius Brown II, the EuroCup's second-leading assist man, against Marco Spissu's control.
