Fener beat Zenit away 73-68. The Turkish side played excellent in defense, especially in the first half. Westermann, Sloukas, Vesely, and Datome were double-digit in scoring, covering in the best way the lousy night of superstar De Colo whos scored only six.

That was the fourth consecutive away victory for Fener, and for the very first time in the season, they are in the top-8. Undoubtedly, Obradovic's team is at its best, and they can do it to the playoff zone, despite the slow first round.

Lauvergne is available again. He did not travel to Russia for personal reasons. Duverioglou is doubtful. Obradovic knows that this team is crucial for his team. If they beat a team that fights for the top-4, that will be an extra boost to its team's confidence.

In the arena, there is sold out. The Turkish fans want to see their team to earn a huge victory. The atmosphere will be hot, and that is an extra advantage for Fener.

It was a fantastic win for Maccabi. The Israeli champions beat Khimki 80-77 at home. Maccabi has many injury concerns in the last weeks. Furthermore, in this game, the superstar Wilbekin was also out. Despite these unfortunate circumstances, they beat Khimki 80-77.

In the first half, the score was 47-36 for Khimki. However, Maccabi came back in the 3rd period and grabbed the win at the end. Bryant was fantastic, scoring 21 points and grabbing 6 rebounds.

Wilbekin traveled to Turkey, but he is doubtful. Furthermore, the exNBAer Caspi is out, alongside with Black, Wolters, Dibartolomeo, and Zoosman. Aaron Jackson also faces an injury problem, but most likely, he will be able to play.

Sfairopoulos has to face many problems. Amare Stoudemire is 38-years old, but he has to adapt and give some new solutions to his coach.

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Fener - Maccabi 7-13.

In the first round, Maccabi beat Fener 67-55.
