Runaway league leader Real (13-1) will look to spoil the strong home record of Zvezda (5-9), which has won four of its last five in Belgrade.
Game Notes: Zvezda vs. Madrid

Fans there will savor a dazzling backcourt exhibition between two of the continent's most exciting creators, former Zvezda star and EuroLeague assists leader Facundo Campazzo (7.8 apg.) and their own Milos Teodosic (5.4 apg.). In the paint, Zvezda's Luka Mitrovic has grabbed more offensive rebounds than any other player (3.1 per game), so Real giants Walter Tavares and Vincent Poirier will be tasked with ensuring the home team is denied second-chance possessions. Another Zvezda weapon is Nemanja Nedovic, who averages 13.9 points and drained 4 triples in last week's win over ALBA.
