After launching a dramatic fourth quarter comeback to tie the series on Friday, AS Monaco will look to build more momentum as it travels to face a Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul team that has often looked unstoppable in Istanbul.

Monaco was able to take an exciting victory in Game 2 despite the first single-digit scoring this season from Mike James, who will look to regain his usual high standards to help his team reclaim home-court advantage.
James's rare quiet night was compensated by in-form Jordan Loyd, who has scored 16 and 15 points in the first two games of the series, while Monaco will hope Donatas Motiejunas can again control the tempo inside the paint after netting 18 points last time out.
Fenerbahce has scored at least 80 points in nine consecutive home games, surpassing 90 points in six of those. The home team will hope to climb towards those totals again by maintaining its three-point shooting, which saw both Scottie Wilbekin (23 points) and Tyler Dorsey (25) drain 6 triples on Friday, but Fener also needs more inside play after none of its big men were able to reach double figures in Game 2.
