Fenerbahce takes to the floor for the first time under new head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius, who replaced Dimitris Itoudis on Thursday. Saras will look for continuing leadership from [Nigel Hayes-Davis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nigel-hayes-davis/008962/), who is the only Fenerbahce player to have started every game and played all but 100 seconds of the team's Round 13 loss at Barcelona. Monaco has won three of the last four including a hard-fought road triumph at Zalgiris last time out, when [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/) once again asserted his importance with 25 points, supported by 12 plus 4 assists from backcourt partner [Elie Okobo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/elie-okobo/011212/).

[Thomas Walkup](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/thomas-walkup/008855/) has stepped up as the Reds' leader in recent weeks, scoring at least 14 points in four games straight and also dishing 7 assists to orchestrate the Round 13 victory over Bayern. Valencia's return to winning ways was propelled by [Semi Ojeleye](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/semi-ojeleye/011982/), who scored 17 and 16 points in respective wins over Zvezda and ASVEL, the latter of which saw the Spanish team's defense in synch to allow just 55 points. The Reds are 11-3 all-time against Valencia, but home teams have won this matchup the last five times, which means Valencia is aiming for its third straight victory in Piraeus, too.

Olympiacos Piraeus v Valencia Basket (2023-12-15T19:15:00.000Z)

A pair of Real Madrid stars lit up the airwaves with a sublime play late last month. Here's how they explain it.

November's No. 1 play explained

It looked for all the world like something that had been worked on and synchronized countless times on an empty court.

When the Real Madrid tandem of [Vincent Poirier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/vincent-poirier/004887/) and [Sergio "Chacho" Rodriguez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/sergio-rodriguez/cvm/) turned two great split-second passes into a resounding alley-oop dunk late in a November victory over Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, everybody noticed. 

So exquisite was the result that everybody wanted to know: How long did it take to get that timing down pat?

"We didn't practice," said Poirier, who initiated the sequence.

"The play against Maccabi was the first time that we did it," Rodriguez confirmed.

In fact, Poirier reveals that he had seen another backwards, between-the-legs pass on-line a couple of days earlier, and when he saw Rodriquez slipping behind the Maccabi defense over his shoulder, eh spontaneously recreated what he had seen.

 "It was the easiest way to pass him the ball," said Poirier, and as soon as he did so, he knew what was coming next from Rodriguez, who ranks second all-time in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with 1,781 assists.

"I know Chacho, he knows me, so I knew he was going to throw the alley-oop." 

And Chacho knew what Poirier would do with it.

"For me, it's just throwing the ball close to the hoop and he had to dunk," he said. "It's a play that has a great percentage."

The rest was viral history, except to hear the two protagonists tell it and say who had the better pass.

They were in synch on that, too.

"It was mine," said Poirier, whose career assist total of 134 is a little more modest. But "I think that both passes make the action better."

Chacho was more than happy to credit his big man.

"My pass was bad," he said. "I threw the ball \[behind him\] but he had amazing timing to catch it, good hands to catch it, and to finish.

"The play speaks for itself."

Fantasy Challenge Podcast: The perfect time for a restart 

Valencia Basket guard Jared Harper is set to miss some games due to a hamstring injury in his right leg. 


Valencia: Harper out with thigh injury 

Harper got injured during his team's Turkish Airlines EuroLeague game against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, leaving the game midway through the fourth quarter. He underwent medical tests in Valencia which revealed that Harper has a tear in the hamstring muscle of his right leg. As such, he is set to miss several games, starting by Valencia's Round 14 EuroLeague showdown against Olympiacos Piraeus. Harper is averaging 8.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8 EuroLeague games this season, mostly coming off the bench. 

Forward Xabi Lopez-Arostegui had an ankle injury in his team's Spanish League home game this weekend and is questionable for Friday's game at the Peace and Friendship Stadium.

Valencia: Harper out with hamstring injury 

Thanks to Synergy Sports's tracking data, we can learn which EuroLeague teams are excelling on offense this season by making more shots than expected. 

Stats review: Examining the best-shooting teams

As has been the case throughout the early part of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season, gaining separation from the pack remained elusive for most teams in the last double-round week as only five of them won both of their games. Though Real Madrid and FC Barcelona were two of those teams and now have sole possession of first and second place, respectively, many of the results this week only made the fray in the middle of the standings more tangled—10 teams now have six, seven or eight victories.  

Finding a sustainable competitive advantage is an uphill battle every season, but several EuroLeague teams so far this season have found a recipe on offense that is working well. Even if some of the teams below have some work to do defensively, they are searching for fewer answers than most.

Synergy Shot Quality (SSQ) is a metric that calculates the expected value of any given shot attempt based on a data-driven model that considers all the advanced tracking data Synergy Sports has collected on every field goal attempted in EuroLeague games over the last decade. Synergy Shot Making compares SSQ to a team's actual points-per-shot to show, in this case, how many more points per attempt a team scored relative to what could have been expected.

This leaderboard is sorted by actual points per shot scored with the SSQ and SSM included to help illustrate the different routes these teams took to achieve those results. 

Through Round 13, Real Madrid and Partizan Mozzart have stood out as this season's most potent shooting teams. The comparison ends there, however. While Real's placement here tracks with its league-best shot quality, Partizan has been just as effective despite ranking just 12th in SSQ.  

That difference can be traced to their approach to shooting in the midrange.  

Real has taken fewer jump shots in the midrange area than any team in the EuroLeague while Partizan has taken the third most, with that number set to climb following the return of [Kevin Punter](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kevin-punter/009862/). While Partizan has scored a respectable 0.92 points per mid-range shot, that still ranks well below its overall averages for SSQ and PPS. It has closed the gap by shooting a league-best 74% in finishing situations. That is no small feat as no team has shot over 70% for a season in modern EuroLeague history.

Kevin Punter, Tornike Shengelia and Nicolas Laprovittola top plays

Virtus Segafredo Bologna has been the only team to score more points around the rim than Real and Partizan, a big reason they have four more wins now than at this point last year. Virtus's turnaround has been driven by its consistency on the interior, where the scoring and passing of [Tornike Shengelia](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tornike-shengelia/001133/) has set the team on a very promising trajectory.   

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan and Zalgiris Kaunas have taken the opposite route to Real, Partizan and Virtus. While Zalgiris has been this season's most accurate three-point shooting team overall, Milan has struck perhaps the best balance between accuracy and aggressiveness; no team has scored more points from the perimeter than the Italians.

FC Barcelona's three-point shooting has had a similarly important impact on its placement here, albeit with a twist.  Barcelona has made three-pointers at a high level overall but has made them off the dribble at such a high rate that it has compensated for the team's sometimes lackluster spot-up shooting. [Nicolas Laprovittola](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nicolas-laprovittola/006435/) is largely responsible for those efforts.

Whether through multiple routes to elite three-point accuracy, consistently smart shot selection, or striking a balance between aggression and efficiency inside, there's more than one recipe for offensive success in the EuroLeague. This group has proven as much in the early going, and in a league where parity tends to rule, that cannot be taken for granted.  

The AS Monaco guard chats with Joe Arlauckas about growing up in New York, starring in the NBA and playing in the EuroLeague.

Kemba Walker visits The Crossover

The Crossover with Joe Arlauckas has the biggest stars in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague as its guests every season and no player with a richer resume stepped into Europe’s premier basketball competition over the summer than [Kemba Walker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kemba-walker/012709/) of AS Monaco.

The former NCAA champion spent 12 seasons in the NBA, where he was selected to the All-Star team four times and remains the all-time leading scorer in Charlotte Hornets franchise history. Before his rise to stardom, Walker was a New York City kid who loved basketball and honed his skills at the playgrounds. One of the asphalt courts where he started to shine was the famed Rucker Park, which Walker continued to visit even after heading off to college.

11:15 “Streetball, that’s where I started. So I wanted to continue to go out there as much as I could,” Walker reflected on his days playing at Rucker. “It was some good times.”

After starring at Rice High School, where he was a teammate of future EuroLeague player Edgar Sosa, Walker played college basketball at the University of Connecticut. It was there that Walker earned the nickname “Cardiac Kemba” for his buzzer-beating jumper in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament.

Walker and UConn continued to make history all the way to winning the 2011 NCAA championship. A few months later, he was drafted by his father’s idol, Michael Jordan, and the Hornets into the NBA.

While he achieved levels of fame and riches that Walker could not have dreamed of as a boy in New York, that was not what drove him to success.

36:15 “My love for the game is what keeps me going. I love to play basketball. It’s what brings me joy. It’s what takes my mind off every single thing that goes on in my life,” Walker told Arlauckas. “It’s what keeps me going, every single day, no matter how hard it is.”

Walker had many European teammates, particularly from France, during his time in the NBA. And when the offer to play for Monaco in the EuroLeague came, Walker was ready for the challenge. 

45:30 “I wanted to have a new experience. I wanted to try to experience the world. And it’s really been an easy adjustment,” he explained. “These guys welcomed me with open arms, treated me with a lot of respect. Just really made my transition super easy.

“As someone coming from the States to be here for the first time for quite some time, all you can ask for is to be welcomed in the right way. And that is something that I appreciate a lot from my teammates. These guys are some of the best teammates I’ve ever had. These guys are amazing, I love being around these guys every day. I appreciate every morning knowing that I am coming to practice with these guys… They make it fun.”

More than a third of the way through the regular season, Walker and Monaco are flying high and in the thick of the battle for a top-four finish and home-court advantage in the playoffs. Watching their assault on the EuroLeague crown promises to be one of the most exciting stories to follow in 2024.

With a one-hour format of exclusive one-on-one interviews, The Crossover with Joe Arlauckas goes well beyond the playing court with each podcast to delve into the life experiences that have made his guests protagonists and legends of the EuroLeague. The Crossover debuted in 2018 and has featured such current stars as [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/mike-james-opens-up-at-the-crossover/), [Lorenzo Brown](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/lorenzo-brown-hops-aboard-the-crossover/) and [Mario Hezonja](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/mario-hezonja-stops-by-the-crossover/); coaching greats such as [Georgios Bartzokas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/hear-from-coach-bartzokas-on-the-crossover/), [Dimitris Itoudis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/the-crossover-opens-its-season-with-dimitris-itoudis/), and Zeljko Obradovic, and legends like Theo Papaloukas, Nikola Vujcic and [Mike Batiste](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/panathinaikos-legend-mike-batiste-visits-the-crossover/), among others.

[9. Mario Hezonja, Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mario-hezonja/003108/) (10.7 credits) – The hottest Real Madrid player right now is Hezonja. He averaged 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals in two games last week and has scored at least 16 points in four of his last five games, a span during which he has shot 47.8% from long range.

[8. PJ Dozier, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/perry-dozier-jr/012742/) (11.2 credits) – Dozier has grown into his role and has played 30 or more minutes in three of his last four games. More importantly, he is averaging 20.4 fantasy points over that span, having posted 19 or more fantasy points in three of those contests.

[7. Nicolas Laprovittola, FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nicolas-laprovittola/006435/) (13.5 credits) – The veteran point guard has had his flashes, with 18.7 fantasy points or more in six of his 11 appearances this season.

[2. Wade Baldwin, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/wade-baldwin-iv/009863/) (15.5 credits) – It took Baldwin a bit to find his groove after missing the start of the season due to injury, but he has caught up to speed.
