New home team signing Nando De Colo could make his debut against the club where his EuroLeague career started 15 years ago, and his arrival should lessen the backcourt burden on in-form Wade Baldwin, whose 21 points were not enough to take victory from Dubai last time out. Fenerbahce was heavily outrebounded in that game, so the reigning champ will look for more physicality – not helped by the loss of Bonzie Colson to injury – against a Valencia team which always loves to crash the glass through the likes of Jaime Pradilla and Matt Costello. The scoring threat of Kam Taylor, who netted 17 points when Valencia comfortably beat Fenerbahce in October, will be a major focus for the hosts' defense.
