Naz Mitrou-Long, who joined Olimpia Milano and became one of their leaders, and Brown and Moore left the team.

In addition to Gabriel, the team was strengthened with CJ. Massinburg, Caupain. During the season, they brought in two experienced players, Ryan Taylor and Ali Nikolic, who proved to be real reinforcements in the last few games.
In the EuroCup, Brescia has a score of 3:5. The leaders of the Italian team are Massinburg and Della Vale, who have the points in their hands, and take responsibility when the game breaks. In the last match in the Eurocup, they won in Stožice, Cedevita Olimpija, where they made a great turnaround and recorded a great victory.

Bursaspor Team News
The Bursa team is led from the bench by a young coach from Serbia, Dušan Alimpijevic. Bursa was the most pleasant surprise last season, so even better results are expected from them this season. At the beginning of the season, they tied for six victories and then entered into a small crisis of results. This season, Bursa was left without a host of the game. Holland, Andrews, and Hayes left the Turks team. Bitim, Dudzinski, and Needham remained in the team from last season. The team strengthened with August, Clemmons, Duverioglu.
The main player of the team is Bitim, on whom a lot depends on how Bursa will look on the field. Bursaspor is in the EuroCup with a score of 5:3 and they enter this match with the imperative to win, and in front of their fans, they will try to continue the series of good results.
Bursa plays real warrior basketball, according to Dusan Alimpijevic. No one outplayed them either this season or last season. Defeats are an integral part of sports, but the fight and desire of Bursa players are never lacking. Especially as far as the defensive part is concerned. We believe that this defense will be the key in this match with Brescia.
In the last match in the Eurocup against Lietkabelis, they won with a 6-point difference, and Bitim was the most effective with 18 points, while at the weekend they beat Manisa with an 11-point difference, and Needham scored 20 points.
Brescia vs. Bursaspor Prediction
We believe that Bursa can break through and win this game with its defense, but Brescia has a wider squad, while Alimpijevic pushes playoff basketball more, and plays with a shortened rotation, which during the league part can be a problem, due to consumption and fatigue.
There will be no Petrucelli for Brescia, while Bursa has the strongest squad.
