Tonight (Tuesday, 20:00, live broadcast on Sport 5), Maccabi Tel Aviv will go up to Ulker's Sports Hall when it meets Turkish Fenerbahce in the 22nd round of the Euroleague.
The Yellows, who lost to the Turks in the first game 75:65, are only one game away from their opponent, and will try to achieve for the first time this season a third consecutive victory in the Euroleague.
The Israeli champions took off for Istanbul yesterday afternoon without Omri Caspi, who will miss the second game in a row due to a stomach virus, at which point he is also in great doubt for the game against Anadolu Zero on Thursday.
The team will hold the concluding training this morning in the hall where they won last season, with another video tutorial being held before the training.

Team members said yesterday that despite the obvious fact that Fenerbahce is based on Nando de Colo and Ian Wesley, they will also have to do significant work on the complementary players led by the scenes Jarl Eddie and Ali Muhammad who were the significant factor in the Turks' victory at Yad Eliyahu.
"Wesley is a very good defensive player and also very difficult to keep him in the pick and roll," the team said.
"We have a difficult task in front of good players like him, we have to be physical and ready to fight, not commit offenses against him, but try to stop him as much as possible in the face position," Tyler Dorsey said ahead of the game, referring to his ability, "It all depends on how I feel during the game. "That the other team will give me I will take, I have to take it game after game, every game is different and I will come to play according to the pace of the game itself."
Chris Jones said ahead of the match that: "Head-to-head meetings are very important, especially towards the end of the season and the desire to get into the playoffs. These differences and things are significant. This is a great league, and teams make an effort, after the first game against them we will have to do our best to win. "We will have to play at a higher intensity and pay attention to the details, we will have to stop them with better team work. We are a different team from the previous game against them, playing more intensely and aggressively on defense, if we continue like this we will have a good chance to win the game."
Apart from Caspi, the team went to the game with a full staff, after all the players and members of the team came out negative in two Corona tests that were conducted after the game against Real Madrid.
As you may recall, the Real Nico player for Pervitola only discovered after the game that he was positive about the virus, in what he postponed the game against Gilboa / Galil.
"There were some concerns if we got infected or someone else on the team got infected right at the start of a double week of Euroleague games," Dorsey said.
"We were postponed the game 30 minutes before it opened, and it was all hard, but we prayed, and I think it has to do with our immune system. What matters is that we are negative and we are all healthy and can play this big week for us. Corona is not a joke, we take it seriously, "You have to stay healthy during this time. That's what matters, stay home and be careful."
Will come in the end?

The addition of TJ Klein this week will likely be the Yellows' latest reinforcement move for the upcoming season, unless something extreme happens on the roster.
Klein, who was the target of the Yellows last summer, is expected to remain in the team for next season as well, unless the connection between him and the system is not successful, but in the general plans for next season his name is already listed.
At the same time, the team members are following a large number of players who are candidates to join next season.
One of the most prominent players on the list is Kevin Harvey, a player of Locomotive Cuban.
Walla!
Sport learned that during the last month of September the team had advanced contacts for the signing of Harvey, but in the end the player chose to sign in the ranks of the Russian team.
Exactly one week after signing for Cuban, Dragon Bender landed in Elijah's hand.
Harvey (24, 2.03) is a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington, who during his time in college suffered a knee injury that sidelined him for nearly a full season.
He is the second player in college history to be mentioned at All American, with the first being ex-Yellows Marquis Haynes.
Harvey was selected 57th in the 2018 draft by Oklahoma City, and spent his first season in the Development League only.
In the second season he signed a bilateral contract with the Thunder and played nine games for the team recording 1.9 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
The aforesaid summer preferred Locomotive Cuban in which it plays a significant role.
In 10 games in the EuroCup team, the forward recorded 13.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, including 38.6 percent off the arc, as he is considered an excellent guard with 2.2 steals per game.
