The Turkish team has scored at least 80 points in all four games since the arrival of Sarunas Jasikevicus, most recently downing crosstown rival Efes behind 24 points from do-it-all Nigel Hayes-Davis. New signing Freddy Gillespie is available to make his debut for Zvezda, and the former Bayern big man will look to complement the inside presence of Luka Mitrovic and Joel Bolomboy, who scored 15 and 20 points in the last two games on 11-of-13 two-point shooting. Fener will look to control the tempo through Nick Calathes, who has averaged 9 assists in the last three games.
- Fenerbahce has enjoyed dominance over Zvezda, winning all eight games on its home floor, including a 93-79 win last season in Round 7 behind 25 points and 10 rebounds from Johnathan Motley, who had a PIR of 33 and earned co-MVP of the Round honors.
- Motley scored a career-high 27 points and made a career-best 11 two-point shots in a 91-89 loss against Zvezda last April.
- Calathes set his career high with 6 steals in a 91-71 win over Crvena Zvezda in March 2018.
- Fenerbahce swingman Marko Guduric played two seasons for Crvena Zvezda, from 2015 to 2017. He made his EuroLeague debut there and won two Adriatic League and two Serbian League championships as well as one Serbian Cup. He was a teammate of current Zvezda players Luka Mitrovic, Branko Lazic and Ognjen Kuzmic.
- Guduric and Lazic also teamed up on the Serbian national team and won silver medals at EuroBasket 2017.
- Zvezda's Dejan Davidovac has been a teammate of Fenerbahce's Marko Guduric on the Serbian national team, together they won the silver medal at the 2023 Basketball World Cup.
- Guduric has also been a teammate of Nedovic on the Serbian national team.
- Fenerbahce guards Scotie Wilbekin and Tyler Dorsey played under current Zvezda head coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos at Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. Scottie and Sfairopoulos were there together for four seasons, from 2018 to 2022, while Dorsey was with them for two years.
- Zvezda center Mike Tobey and Fenerbahce big man Sertac Sanli were frontcourt mates at FC Barcelona during the 2022-23 season.
- Zvezda forward Dejan Davidovac recorded his career-high in performance index rating (25) against Fenerbahce in March 2018.
- Nemanja Nedovic made a career-high 7 three-pointers playing for Panathinaikos Athens in a win over Fenerbahce in October 2020. His PIR of 28 earned MVP of the Round honors for that performance.
- Nedovic set his career high with 13 made free throws playing for Unicaja Malaga against Fenerbahce in April 2018.
- Fenerbahce swingman Marko Guduric had a career-high 8 rebounds in a 71-73 win over Zvezda in January 2021.
