EuroBasket 2015: Germany faces pivotal matchup on Tuesday against Turkey

Germany missed out on an opportunity to jump to the top of the Group B standings on Sunday when their upset bid against Serbia fell short thanks to a late basket by Nemanja Bjelica. That win would have given Germany a huge boost, but instead leaves them with more work to be done to secure a spot in the second round of the tournament.

Germany is off on Monday before playing three straight days with a pivotal game against Turkey on tap for Tuesday. They will close group play with matchups against Italy and Spain. Germany is currently among four teams tied with a 1-1 record and must finish in the top four of the group to advance to the next round. Here is a look at the standings entering play on Tuesday:
