On Friday, Zalgiris Kaunas won 88-81 in Barcelona, closing the game on a small-ball five<\/a>. On Tuesday, the same team play in Istanbul, where Fenerbahce have lost one game in four EuroLeague rounds. The market has the Turks well clear; I have them clear too, by a slightly wider margin: I am taking the -7.5.<\/p>\n

Fenerbahce roll on, except at Panathinaikos<\/h2>\n

Three wide wins and one slap: Virtus Bologna beaten 78-68, Bayern 100-76, Dubai 76-66, and a 74-92 defeat at Panathinaikos<\/a> on 8 October. Zalgiris win away from Kaunas: 83-77 at Crvena Zvezda to open the season, then 88-81 in Barcelona on Friday.<\/p>\n

Zalgiris have already won in Istanbul, last season, and Tuesday is also a rematch of the 2025-26 playoff series Fenerbahce won, and a reunion: Tomas Masiulis, now the head coach in Kaunas, was Jasikevicius\u2019 assistant at Zalgiris, Barcelona and Istanbul.<\/p>\n

Saben Lee is back, Williams-Goss still out<\/h2>\n

The Lithuanian backcourt was the worry; Monday\u2019s official injury report clarifies it:<\/p>\n
