IZMIR (Interstat) — Balikesir visits Goztepe on Wednesday in a Turkish basketball league game, with the visiting team looking to build on its first win of the season and the home team trying to remain unbeaten. Goztepe will look to protect its home court, while Balikesir seeks a second straight victory after a difficult start.

Balikesir enters 1-3. The team snapped a three-game losing streak with a 91-85 road victory over TED Kolejliler in its most recent outing. Christian Bradford is the player to watch for Balikesir. Bradford had 29 points, four rebounds and five assists in that win. He also recently produced 22 points, four rebounds and six assists against Kipas Istiklal, and 18 points, two rebounds and six assists at Darussafaka. Harun Dogan added 16 points in the latest win, while Jaquan Scott scored 20 points. Balikesir’s other results this season include a 79-69 home loss to Kahramanmaras, a 67-65 road loss at Darussafaka and a 70-69 home loss to Fenerbahce.

Goztepe is 4-0. The home team remained perfect with an 85-64 win over TED Kolejliler in its most recent game. Jamari Traylor is the player to watch for Goztepe. Traylor finished with 22 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block in that victory. He also had 13 points, 11 rebounds and three assists at Ormanspor Genc, and eight points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks against Kahramanmaras. Isaiah Washington contributed 17 points, five rebounds and four assists in the latest win, and Ahmet Cantitiz scored 13 points with three rebounds. Goztepe has also beaten Kahramanmaras 73-72, won 85-73 at Mugla and won 85-73 at Ormanspor Genc during its unbeaten start.

The game is set for Wednesday. Balikesir will try to slow a Goztepe team that has scored at least 73 points in every win this season. Goztepe will aim to keep pressure on a Balikesir squad that has lost three games by a combined 13 points, including one-point and two-point setbacks. Balikesir’s victory over TED Kolejliler showed its offense can produce on the road, but Goztepe’s balanced scoring and unbeaten record make the home side the favorite. Traylor’s inside production and Bradford’s perimeter scoring give both teams a clear focus. The matchup features Bradford and Traylor as the top scoring options for their teams. Goztepe will then continue its schedule with a road game at Baskent Ankara, while Balikesir will host Kecioren Baglum in its next contest. Those next games are not part of the Wednesday matchup.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Goztepe 87, Balikesir 80.
