Efes – Panathinaikos

Panathinaikos (6-5) and injury-hit Efes (5-6) square off in Istanbul as two clubs eager to go back to winning ways. As Greens manager Ergin Ataman makes his first visit back to the team he helped win back-to-back EuroLeague titles, all eyes will be on him. In order to break the rhythm of Efes’s prolific backcourt scorers, Panathinaikos will look to defensive ace Jerian Grant, who leads the league with 2.1 steals per game. Mike Daum, who scored ten points in his Efes debut against Zvezda last week, will face Mathias Lessort, who leads the league in offensive rebounds with 2.8 per game, in the paint duel.

ALBA Berlin – Zalgiris

Zalgiris (5-6) will try to inflict more suffering on an ALBA team (1-9) that has lost six straight, after winning two of its past three games to move back into the playoff spots. After losing six players to injury during last week’s setback at Maccabi—a crushing defeat highlighted by 22 points from Gabriele Procida—the hosts will be hoping for reinforcements. With recent victories over Bayern and Milan, Zalgiris has regained its winning sense mainly because to its defence, which has let up just 73 and 70 points, respectively. Veteran forward Edgaras Ulanovas, who led by example with 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists in that game, also put on a spectacular performance in the latter one. On Tuesday, he will attempt to provide Zalgiris with the momentum it needs to win away from home.

Olympiacos – Real Madrid

Olympiacos (6-5) welcomes Real Madrid (10-1) to Piraeus in a replay of the thrilling title game from the previous season, hoping to exact retribution for the heartbreaking last-second loss. Both clubs are coming off defeats; Real hopes to win its first game back from a loss against Fenerbahce in an overtime thriller, while the Reds suffered a setback against Monaco that ended their three-game winning run. The two ‘dinosaurs’, Moustapha Fall (6.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game) and Walter Tavares (9.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game) square off in a matchup that promises to be violent. Isaiah Canaan, who is second in the league with 3.1 three-pointers made per game, is a player Real will need to keep a careful eye on.

Bayern – Milano

Bayern (5-6) will want to continue moving up the standings when Milan (4-7) visits after sparking its season with back-to-back wins. With a massive double-double of 24 points and 13 rebounds last week against Virtus, Serge Ibaka ignited the German team’s victory. Now, the seasoned centre will try to maintain his hot play against Milan’s assortment of big men. With 40.1 rebounds each night, Bayern is the league’s best rebounding club thanks in part to Ibaka’s 6.6 boards per game average. Milan’s primary means of attack is its long-range shooting, which ranks second in the league with a 40.8% deep-range conversion percentage. Shavon Shields has been particularly effective recently, averaging 3.8 triples in the previous four games.

Partizan – Monaco

Third-placed Monaco (7-4) will go to Partizan (5-6), hoping to win three in a row and make history by winning consecutive games for the first time this year. With 87.5 points per game, Partizan’s dynamic offence is second in the league. Zeljko Obradovic’s team will be looking for the same kind of explosiveness that helped them defeat Panathinaikos 92-87 last week, led by Zach LeDay’s 23 points. Following a month-long injury layoff, Partizan shooter Kevin Punter made a strong comeback to the court with 13 points in that game. His long-range shooting matchup with Mike James, who leads the league in scoring (18.8 points per game) and ranks third in PIR (20.3), is sure to be entertaining.
