Fenerbahce (19-9) will look to strengthen its grip on second place against an ASVEL team (11-7) which has lost five in a row and needs a shock road win to boost its fading postseason hopes.
Game Notes: Fenerbahce vs. ASVEL



The Turkish team will be confident after a pair of excellent road victories last week, with Errick McCollum and Wade Baldwin starting to form an excellent new-look backcourt combination after combining for 33 points in the Round 28 rout at Milan. ASVEL veteran Nando De Colo is certain to receive a rousing welcome from his former fans and he arrives in good form, having netted 16 and 20 points in the last two games, and his scoring skills could be even more important if Theo Maledon's finger injury prevents him from playing.
