MIES (Switzerland) - The third and final day of action in Week 5 of the Play-Offs is a runaway favorite for the highest Final 8 ticket-to-game ratio of the season, since Thursday's three-game slate will anoint minimum one, and potentially up to four Final 8 participants.

Here's a closer look at what to expect from the three Thursday games in Week 5 of the Play-Offs:

Hereda San Pablo Burgos (3-1) vs. Igokea (2-2) -- Group J, 18:30 CET

• If Burgos win this game, they will clinch a Final 8 berth and Lenovo Tenerife also qualify from this group. If Igokea win, they will claim the head-to-head advantage over Burgos and both spots from this group will remain up for grabs as we head into Week 6.
  
  
• Igokea's 77-75 win over Burgos on Tuesday ended the Spanish team's eight-game winning streak in the BCL.
  
  
• Burgos have won their last 10 home games in the competition, by an average winning margin of 15 points. Igokea were the nominal hosts on Tuesday, so the Burgos home record still stands.
  
  
• Burgos average 80 points per game in the Play-Offs, while they averaged 91 points per game in the Regular Season.
  
  
• Igokea are 1-4 in their five BCL games on the road so far, and they gave up 80 or more points in each of those four defeats.

• Jasiel Rivero has averaged 17.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in Burgos's last five home games in the BCL (up from 9.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in his first six) and he's scored in double digits in each of those five games.
  
  
• The Cuban big man is 10 rebounds away from surpassing Yanick Moreira for second place on the all-time BCL Play-Offs rebounders' list. Rivero has 65 career rebounds in the Play-Offs, Moreira has 74 and Tim Abromaitis is the all-time leader with 88.
  
  

Casademont Zaragoza (3-1) vs. ERA Nymburk (3-0) -- Group L, 20:00 CET

• The winner of this game secures a spot in the Final 8 and, depending on the result in the other game of the night in the group, the losing side might also clinch a berth: If Sassari beat Bamberg in the other game then Zaragoza qualify, even if they lose to Nymburk. If Bamberg beat Sassari then Nymburk qualify, even if they lose to Zaragoza.

Interestingly, all nine of the 26-year-old center's BCL games, with Zaragoza and with Ludwigsburg, have been in the Play-Offs.
  
  
• Nymburk's Stephen Zimmerman has 21 rebounds in three Play-Offs games, as many as in his six Regular Season games. The big man faced Zaragoza twice in the 2019-20 season, as a Telekom Baskets Bonn player, and averaged 9.5 points and 4 rebounds over the two games.
  
  

Brose Bamberg (1-3) vs. Dinamo Sassari (0-3) -- Group L, 20:00 CET
