Cuic is the player to watch for Rapid. Across her recent appearances, she has scored in double figures in both games and has been active on the boards. Her 15-point, 15-rebound effort against Oxigen Bucuresti highlighted her all-around impact, and her 22-point outing at CSBT Alexandria showed her scoring touch. Morrison and Deen give Rapid additional production inside and in the backcourt.

Flammes enters at 4-2 and will be playing at home. The home team has won four of its first six games, including a recent 83-61 road win at Landerneau. Coline Franchelin paced Flammes in that victory with 11 points, four rebounds and 12 assists in 31 minutes. Vaciana Gomis scored 18 points in 22 minutes, and Tiffany Clarke added 11 points and four rebounds in 30 minutes.

In her recent games, she produced 13 points and 11 assists against Landes, 16 points, four rebounds and nine assists at Toulouse, 16 points, five rebounds and six assists at Reyer Venezia, and 25 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists against Lyon. Her ability to create for teammates and score from multiple areas makes her central to the Flammes attack.

Flammes’ other results this season include a 69-61 home loss to Landes, a 75-54 road win at Toulouse, an 81-55 road win at Reyer Venezia, a 70-78 home loss to Lyon, and a 101-81 home win over KP Brno. Rapid’s other result was the 103-60 win at CSBT Alexandria.

Rapid will look to remain perfect behind Cuic, Morrison and Deen. Flammes will aim to protect its home court and improve its record with Franchelin leading the way. The matchup features two teams with contrasting early-season records, but both have shown productive individual performers.
