Tuesday's action starts with winless Wolves (0-2) aiming to end that record with a visit from unbeaten Besiktas (3-0). The home team shouldn't be too low in confidence after coming agonizingly close to triumphing in last week's overtime loss at Joventut. Wolves will look for more high-scoring exploits from Rasheed Sulaimon after he scored 15 and 21 points in the first two games. Besiktas has based its success so far on smothering defense, topping the league in points allowed (66 per game), partly thanks to the rebounding excellence of Angel Delgado (8.3 boards per game).
