Partizan (2-4) looks to respond to last week's last-second loss by overcoming high-flying Fenerbahce (5-1), which has won four in a row. The Turkish team has triumphed through efficient offense, committing fewer turnovers than any other team, 10.3 per game, to go with a league-best 4.8 steals on defense. Partizan tops the league in scoring (86.2 points per game) and two-point shooting accuracy (61.8%). James Nunnally leads Partizan's scoring with 12.7 points per game and his versatile skillset will be very useful against his former team, which has its own versatile forward in Nigel Hayes-Davis, who had 9 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in last week's win over Olympiacos.
