Hapoel Tel Aviv is set to play against Dubai in the EuroLeague on Friday, aiming to extend their winning streak to five games. Following an impressive offensive performance against Anadolu Efes, which included a career-high from Antonio Blakeney, the team seeks to solidify its position at the top of the league.
This marks the first time Hapoel Tel Aviv will play in Dubai, as the Emirati team hosted last season's game in Sarajevo. While Hapoel won both previous encounters, Dubai has strengthened its roster this season and holds a 5-3 record. A victory for Hapoel would tie them with Dubai in the standings.
Coach Dimitris Itoudis has made roster adjustments, with Vasilije Micić returning to the lineup. Tai Odiase, who missed the last game due to knee pain, is expected to play. However, Jacob Toppin will be absent for the second consecutive game.
All Israeli players from Hapoel Tel Aviv have remained in the country to prepare for a domestic league derby scheduled for Sunday.
