Efes finished the regular season in spectacular style, winning the last five games and flexing its muscles with a 100-55 pummeling of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade last time out. It’s exactly the opposite for Virtus, which concluded a disastrous run of form by losing at home to Baskona in Round 34 to make it seven straight defeats.

Will Clyburn vs. Tornike Shengelia: Two signature forwards with All-EuroLeague pasts will be at the center of Tuesday's winner-take-all action.

The Turks can always rely upon the firepower of Shane Larkin but needs a big collective improvement having allowed league-high average of 89.3 ppg. They host Virtus, who are wishing former Efes man Bryant Dunston can continue his form in the paint, after recording PIRs of 18 and 15 in the last two.
