EuroLeague closes its first double week with a third matchday split between Thursday and Friday. Four games on the first day and six on the second, with all four Spanish teams in action and two of them seeking their first victory.
Hapoel Tel Aviv–Real Madrid (Thursday, 18:00)
The most urgent game for Spanish fans. Real Madrid arrives with a 0–2 record after falling in Dubai by one point and conceding 94–84 in Istanbul, in their worst game of the season, with twenty-one turnovers.
Hapoel comes off a win in Belgrade against Red Star 80–81 and boasts a strong roster: Micic, Bryant, Satoransky, and Oturu, among others. The game is being played in Sofia, as the Israeli club plays its home games outside the country.
Besiktas–Barcelona (Friday, 19:00)
The Blaugrana visit a team on a roll. Besiktas just secured its first victory since returning to the competition with a historic performance: 109 points and seventeen three-pointers against Maccabi.
Barcelona arrives after losing in Dubai and continues without its three new big men—Nebo, Evbuomwan, and Makoundou—with Balcerowski as the only healthy center.
