A head-to-head fight for the remaining Top 16 spot in Group D is set for Istanbul, Turkey, where Galatasaray Medical Park hosts Union Olimpija on Wednesday. Galatasaray (3-5) will advance to the Top 16 with a win or if it loses by up to 8 points. 

If Olimpija (1-7) manages to win by 9 or more, it needs the following scenario: a win against Unics at home in Week 10, an FC Barcelona Regal victory over Galatasaray and Prokom has to lose its next two games. Olimpija is on a five-game losing streak that has put the team in a do-or-die situation. Expect Galatasaray fans to try to push their team to a win that could start a new page in club history.

INJURIES

Despite travelling to Poland last week, Goran Jagodnik is not ready to play against Galatasaray. Dino Muric is questionable for this game. Olimpija signed Jan Mocnik to add more bench depth. Josh Shipp did not play against Montepaschi last week and missed his team's Turkish League showdown this weekend.

THE TAKE

If Shipp stays sidelined, Preston Shumpert will be Galatasaray's first option at small forward and it would not be a surprise to see coach Oktay Mahmuti use a small lineup with Jamon Gordon and Jaka Lakovic at both wings. Shumpert will try to use his experience and one-on-one skills against top prospect Davis Bertans while Gordon and Lakovic will try to use their experience against three-point threat Sasu Salin and swingman Jaka Blazic. 

Olimpija will run its offense through Deon Thompson and Robert Rothbart to find easy baskets in the paint. Deon Thompson will face a tough test against Darius Songaila and Luksa Andric, while Robert Rothbart will not have it easy against Furkan Aldemir, who had a career-best game against Olimpija in regular season Week 4. Galatasaray will try to run the floor and get Aldemir and Shumpert involved. Olimpija needs a good game from Aleksandar Capin and Thompson to fight for a much-needed win.
