Having aced coach Dusko Ivanovic's return with a dramatic home win, Baskonia (2-4) will aim to confirm its revival against an Olympiacos (3-3) team that is still searching for consistency. 

Preview: Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz

[Rosters ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/olympiacos-piraeus-baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/E2023/60/#roster)| [Facts](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/tae2324-rs7-game-facts-oly-bas/) | [Notes](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/tae2324-rs7-game-notes-oly-bas/) | [Quotes](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/tae2324-rs7-prequotes-oly-bas) |[ TV](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/tv-listings-el/) | [Fantasy](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/fantasy-challenge-tips-looking-for-cheap-options/)

The return of [Chima Moneke](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/chima-moneke/012201/) was key to Baskonia’s triumph as he recorded 16 points including the game winning free throws. This week he goes up against former Baskonia forward [Alec Peters](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/alec-peters/008829/), who leads Olympiacos with 13 points per game and has registered double-digit scoring in five of six games so far. Baskonia's key scorer [Markus Howard](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/markus-howard/011948/) has averaged 20.3 points in the last three games, and his battle against defensive ace [Thomas Walkup](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/thomas-walkup/008855/) will be another key.

Maccabi (3-2) plays its first "home" game at the Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Belgrade without fans as struggling Bayern (2-4), which has lost three in a row, visits.

Preview: Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv vs. FC Bayern Munich

[Rosters ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv-fc-bayern-munich/E2023/57/#roster)| [Facts](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/tae2324-rs7-game-facts-tel-mun/) | [Notes](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/tae2324-rs7-game-notes-tel-mun/) | [Quotes](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/tae2324-rs7-prequotes-tel-mun/) |[ TV](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/tv-listings-el/) | [Fantasy](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/fantasy-challenge-tips-looking-for-cheap-options/)

Maccabi shares the ball better than any other team in the league, averaging 22.6 assists per night, led by Lorenzo Brown's league-best average of 8.8. It's a very different story for Bayern, which averages a league-low 14 helpers per game. Pablo Laso's team has a better chance of winning through the physicality of Serge Ibaka (7 rebounds per game) and Isaac Bonga (6.0 rpg.), but Maccabi is also capable of crashing the boards with Josh Nebo (6.4 rpg.).

[James Nunnally](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/james-nunnally/007400/) leads Partizan's scoring with 12.7 points per game and his versatile skillset will be very useful against his former team, which has its own versatile forward in [Nigel Hayes-Davis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nigel-hayes-davis/008962/), who had 9 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in last week's win over Olympiacos.

Two teams needing a turnaround in fortunes go face to face as Efes (2-4) hosts Zalgiris (3-3), with both suffering two-game losing streaks. Efes coach [Erdem Can](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/anadolu-efes-istanbul/ist/can-erdem/?season=E2023) needs to find a way for offensive stars [Shane Larkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/shane-larkin/007200/), [Darius Thompson](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/darius-thompson/011078/) and [Will Clyburn](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/will-clyburn/004888/) to function well together after seeing his team average just 76.3 points per game, third-worst in the competition. Better accuracy from long-range would help; Efes is making just 33.1% of its three-point attempts so far. In contrast, Zalgiris leads the league in accuracy from deep with 42%, including a remarkable 6-of-7 from young guard [Dovydas Giedraitis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/dovydas-giedraitis/007513/). But the Lithuanian team needs to tighten up defensively after allowing at least 82 points in each of its last four games, so this could be an opportunity for Efes to click.

Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade boosted its frontline with the addition of center Bruno Caboclo, as the club announced the signing of a two-year contract on Tuesday.

Partizan inks EuroCup standout center Caboclo

[Bruno Caboclo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/bruno-caboclo/012096/) (2.06 meters, 28 years old) starred last season in the BKT EuroCup and over the summer with at the 2023 World Cup with the Brazilian national team.

In five games at the World Cup, Caboclo averaged 16.4 points and ranked third with 9.2 rebounds.

Last season, Caboclo was one of the best players in the BKT EuroCup. Playing for ratiopharm Ulm he posted a PIR of 19.6 last season, which was second in the competition. He also ranked second in blocks (1.5 bpg.) and two-pointers made (5.2), fifth in points (17.4 ppg.), sixth in rebounds (7.8 rpg.) and seventh in offensive rebounds (2.5 orpg.).

Caboclo and Ulm reached EuroCup quarterfinals, before the big man helped the team win its first-ever German League championship.

Bruno Caboclo 2022-23 EuroCup highlights

Caboclo started the 2022-23 season with Mexican club Capitanes de Ciudad de Mexico, where he averaged 12.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in two G League games. He has spent the majority of his career in the NBA with the Toronto Raptors, Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets and with those teams' G-League affiliates: Fort Wayne, Raptors 905, Reno and Rio Grande.

Caboclo began his career with Pinheiros in Brazil. He has also played for Sao Paolo, which he led to the Basketball Champions League Americas title in 2022 and was the championship game MVP after posting 29 points and 7 rebounds in that effort, and Limoges CSP of France.

At Partizan (2-4), he will shore up the frontline which already features Zach LeDay, Frank Kaminsky, Alen Smailagic and Balsa Koprivica. Caboclo should help Zeljko Obradovic's squad in the rebounding department, where Partizan ranks 16th in total rebounds (30.7 rpg.) and 18th in offensive rebounding (7.5 orpg.). Partizan also struggles allowing 14.5 offensive rebounds per game as it gets ready to welcome Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (5-1) on Thursday night at Stark Arena.
