High-flying Besiktas (4-1) will fancy its chances of picking up a fifth win as it welcomes Hamburg (0-5). Time is running out for the German team to get its season on track and improved defense must be the priority after allowing 108 at Badalona in Round 5. The power of William Christmas - who grabbed 9 rebounds last week - can help Hamburg compete physically against the Turkish team, which boasts one of the competition's top rebounders in the form of Angel Delgado and his 7.8 boards plus 12.0 points per night.
