A battle between two teams with title ambitions takes place in Istanbul as Fenerbahce (6-7) welcomes Monaco (8-5) with the aim of keeping intact its perfect mark at Ulker Sports and Event Hall.
Game Notes: Fenerbahce vs. Monaco

Fenerbahce has been two different teams this season: 5-0 at home and 1-7 on the road. So head coach Dimitris Itoudis will be relieved to be back in Turkey. He will look for continuing leadership from Nigel Hayes-Davis, 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 once again asserted his importance with 25 points, supported by 12 plus 4 assists from backcourt partner Elie Okobo.
