ISTANBUL (Interstat) — Fenerbache Koleji will host Korfez Basket on Sunday at Fenerbahce Metro Enerji Spor Salonu in Istanbul, Türkiye, in a matchup between teams with early-season momentum.

Fenerbache Koleji is 5-1 and has won two straight. The home team’s most recent result was a 76-66 victory over Dubai. Marucs Bingham, Fenerbache’s player to watch, scored 20 points and collected 8 rebounds in 22 minutes. Braxton Key contributed 12 points and 8 rebounds, while Wade Baldwin added 14 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Fenerbache also defeated Bayern 100-76, Virtus Bologna 78-68, Kecioren Baglum 86-84 and Karesi Spor 70-69. Its only loss came against Bahcesehir Kol. 98-83. The team has shown balance, with Bingham and Baldwin providing scoring and Key active on the boards.

Korfez Basket enters at 2-1 and is coming off an 88-79 home win over Esenler. Jonathan Davis, Korfez’s player to watch, produced 31 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists in 28 minutes. Filip Barna scored 18 points and handed out 5 assists, and Oscar Cluff finished with 12 points and 8 rebounds. Korfez began its season with a 91-79 home win over Kolossos Rodou before dropping a 94-93 road decision at Promitheas Patras. Davis scored 21 points with 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in that loss, and he had 15 points and 5 rebounds in the win over Kolossos Rodou. His form will be central to Korfez’s chances against a deeper Fenerbache side.

Fenerbache has won all four of its home games this season. Korfez Basket has won one of its two games decided by fewer than 10 points. Davis has scored at least 15 points in each of his last three games listed, while Bingham’s most recent outing produced 20 points and 8 rebounds.

The visiting Korfez Basket will look to control tempo and get Davis into scoring positions. Fenerbache Koleji will aim to use its home court and recent offensive efficiency to set the pace. Fenerbache has scored at least 76 points in each of its last three games, while Korfez has topped 88 points in two of its three contests. Both teams have played close games this season, and the matchup could hinge on rebounds and second-chance points.

Fenerbache Koleji and Korfez Basket will each continue their schedules after Sunday. Korfez Basket is set to visit Kalev-Cramo and Aliağa Petkim before returning home for games against Chalon-Sur-Saone and Tofas. Fenerbache Koleji will travel to Panathinaikos and Cayirova before home games against Zalgiris and Partizan. Those games follow the Sunday meeting.
