Fenerbahce – Baskonia

  • Fenerbahce owns a 16-15 lead in their Euroleague games this century.

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul will try to extend its winning streak to four games when it hosts Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in Round 16’s opener on Tuesday. Fenerbahce has only two players scoring in double figures this season, Jan Vesely (14.0 ppg.) and Nando De Colo (12.2 ppg.), but the team has shaken off a slow start to the season with three consecutive wins and the team is averaging 90.7 points, 23.0 assists and 10.0 steals, each the best mark in the EuroLeague over the last three games. Meanwhile, Baskonia is traveling across the Bosporus to the Asian side of Istanbul, after losing against Efes on Tuesday. The team is 1-6 on the road this season and has lost four straight by an average margin of 18.5 points. Baskonia has three players averaging better than 11.0 points – Simone Fontecchio, Rokas Giedraitis and Wade Baldwin IV – but is averaging just 71.3 points on the season.

Panathinaikos – Barcelona

  • Barcelona holds a 25-13 record against Panathinaikos this century. The Blaugrana won the last 5 against the Greeks.

League leader FC Barcelona will try to extend its season-high seven-game winning streak when it visits the Greek capital for a classic EuroLeague showdown against Panathinaikos OPAP Athens. It’s a rivalry that has provided basketball fans with some memorable classics over the past two decades, but the two teams arrive into this game from very different places. Barcelona is on a winning run, holds a EuroLeague best 13-2 record, and is coming off a hard-fought 69-76 road win over Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade. On the other hand, Panathinaikos has lost seven of its last nine games to fall to 4-11, including Tuesday’s 75-54 defeat in Milan.

Maccabi – Anadolu Efes

  • Anadolu Efes has an 11-9 record in EuroLeague games against Maccabi having won 5 in the last 6.

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv and reigning champion Anadolu Efes Istanbul both hold 7-8 records and are traveling to their game in Tel Aviv from Istanbul. Apart from that, the two sides are trending in different directions ahead of their clash on Thursday. Maccabi badly needs a reversal of its trend, having lost five consecutive games, and is coming off a 90-79 defeat against Fenerbahce on Tuesday. Maccabi played a bad third quarter that cost the team a victory and could not overcome 17 turnovers and only 43.2% two-point shooting. Meanwhile, Efes has won five of its last seven games and has scored at least 87 points in six games during that stretch. Efes scored 30 points in the second quarter and allowed just 10 points in the fourth in its win over Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz on Tuesday. The team will look to keep it up and continue its climb up the standings.

Milano – Real Madrid

  • AX Milano has only won 3 in 18 games against Real Madrid this century.

A high-profile showdown in the Fashion capital will see AX Armani Exchange Milan (10-5) take on Real Madrid (12-3) on Thursday night. These are the top two defensive teams in the EuroLeague, with Milan allowing a league-low 71.7 points, and Real just behind, holding opponents to 72.1 per game. Also, both teams have returned to the winning ways and are coming off big wins just 48 hours ago. Milan snapped its slump by picking up two wins in the last two rounds to end a four-game losing streak. Milan ran past Panathinaikos OPAP Athens 75-54 on Tuesday, while Real forgot about its loss in El Clasico last week with a Round 15 thrashing of ALBA Berlin.
