Laboral Kutxa vs. Galatasaray – Live Stream and Euroleague Match Preview

The game is scheduled to start at 19:30 GMT.

Preview:

The Spanish club dropped to 1-1 after losing to Olympiacos 57-63 in Greece last week.

Latvian forward Davis Bertans (14 ppg, 4.5 rpg) and Fernando San Emeterio (13 ppg) are the one-two punch of Laboral Kutxa.

Former NBA player Tornike Shengelia (11.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg) and Colton Iverson (7.5 ppg, 4 rpg) will team up with Bertans inside while Thomas Heurtel (6.5 ppg, 7.5 apg) will orchestrate the team’s plays.

To increase its winning chances, Laboral Kutxa recently signed Sasha Vujacic. The Slovenian shooting guard was acquired from Italian club Reyer Venezia Mestre where he averaged 11 points in five games this season. Vujacic brings a wealth of experience having played in the Euroleague and NBA before.

Galatasaray also sports a 1-1 record but the Turkish club is coming off a 71-64 home win over Valencia.

Puerto Rican point guard Carlos Arroyo (11.5 ppg, 5 apg), who once played for Laboral Kutxa, will lead the Istanbul powerhouse.

Zoran Erceg (14.5 ppg, 6 rpg) is Galatasaray’s main threat inside and he will get support from rebounding machine Furkan Aldemir (8 ppg, 8.5 rpg).

Martynas Pocius, Pietro Aradori and Vladimir Micov are also source of points for Galatasaray, which is coming off an 86-69 demolition of Edirne in the Turkish League.

Harry James' love for sports began in his high school basketball days. Sadly, an injury meant he couldn't further his NBA dreams, but the hooper's loss is our gain as he then found journalism.
