JDA Bourgogne Dijon (2-2) v Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem (3-1)

Group I - 21:00 CET - Dijon, France

• Dijon lost their last BCL game (86-67 v SIG Strasbourg) but have not lost consecutive games in the competition since January 2021, when they lost two in a row; Dijon have conceded 80+ points in each of their last four home games, as often as in their previous 16 home games in the competition.
• David Holston (782 points) needs 18 points to become the third player with 800+ points in BCL history (behind Vojtech Hruban and Giorgi Shermadini). He scored exactly 20 points in each of his previous two encounters against Jerusalem in the BCL.
• Jerusalem are leading the BCL this season in two-point field goal percentage, as they are shooting 57.5 percent from two-point range. Dijon, on the other hand, have the worst defensive percentage in two-point attempts in the league this season, allowing opponents to shoot 59.2 percent from inside the arc.
• Jerusalem have won seven of their last eight BCL games, with the lone defeat in that span happening against Dijon in the last game (84-77); this will be their fourth BCL trip to France where they have celebrated only one victory, precisely against Dijon in February 2019 (85-83).
• Zach Hankins has grabbed 10 or more rebounds in each of his last four games in the BCL and is looking to become the first ever player to do so in five consecutive games; he has scored more than 10 points in eight of his last nine BCL games.

Interestingly though, the only other game he scored at least points, was against Manresa in December 2022, when he had 21 points.
