Davis Bertans has yet to make a real impact in this season's EuroLeague. Over three games he has averaged under ten minutes on court, scoring in two of them and hitting one three-pointer each time. Dubai's attack has so far been led by Dwayne Bacon, McKinley Wright, Elie Okobo and Mfiondu Kabengele, all of whom have reached double figures.

The game against the Serbs

Dubai will try to claim their third win of the season tonight. Their opponents, Belgrade's Crvena zvezda, have one victory from three games, over Istanbul's Anadolu Efes. The Serbian side lost the other matches in tight contests. Their leaders this season have been Chima Moneke and Jordan Nwora.

The Athens showdown

Among tonight's games without Latvian involvement, the most notable is in Athens, where two of the table's highest-placed teams meet. League leaders Panathinaikos host Istanbul's Fenerbahce. A heated atmosphere is expected, not only because of the shared Greek-Turkish history: one of the teams will suffer its first EuroLeague defeat of the season.

The Greek-Turkish clashes continue tomorrow, when Piraeus-based Olympiacos face Istanbul's Anadolu Efes.

Other games

Madrid's Real are looking for their first win and host Belgrade's Partizan, who already have three victories.

After three rounds, Panathinaikos, Fenerbahce, Valencia and Partizan are all unbeaten with three wins. Dubai have two wins and one loss, while Real and Maccabi Tel Aviv are yet to win.
