Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul power forward Achille Polonara has been asked to take on a bigger role since Jan Vesely was lost to injury in Round 17 and he has taken on the challenge with gusto. This week Polonara will be challenged by LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne's versatile 4-man Dylan Osetkowski.

Osetkowski is in his first season in the EuroLeague and has been worth 6.2 points and 3.2 rebounds for ASVEL. His numbers have been even better (9.2 ppg., 4.0 rpg.) in the five games he's come off the bench as he did last week behind James Gist at FC Barcelona. Whether Osetkowski starts or not, the majority of his minutes will come against Polonara in a critical matchup on Tuesday.
