Real Madrid vs. Asvel
Real Madrid hosts Asvel on Thursday, coming off an impressive 98-89 away victory against Milano.

Giuseppe Poeta's squad enters after a 98-89 home loss to Real Madrid, continuing to struggle defensively with 91.6 points conceded per game. Dubai arrives with a 3-2 record after snapping a two-game slide with a 93-79 away triumph over Baskonia, aiming for a third straight win against the Italian club.
