After being tested by Maccabi on Tuesday, Real (9-0) continues its own double-round week by travelling to face a Fenerbahce (5-5) team that has won all four games at home so far this season.
Game Notes: Fenerbahce vs. Madrid

Expect a highly physical battle in a game featuring the league's top three shot blockers, with Real's Walter Tavares (1.9 bpg.) followed by teammate Vincent Poirier (1.4 bpg.) and Fener star Georgios Papagiannis (1.4 bpg.). Real firecracker Mario Hezonja is enjoying a very accurate season, making 61.1% of his two-point attempts and 46.7% from deep. On Thursday, he will face another player with explosive scoring potential, Marko Guduric, who will look to regain his best form after returning from injury in last week's loss at Virtus.
