3 Mins read

Two teams just outside the playoffs places will battle to improve their positions as Bayern (6-8) welcomes Efes (7-7).

The German team has won three straight at home and will look to dominate through the physical prowess of Serge Ibaka, who leads the league in blocked shots (1.6 bpg.) and ranks second in rebounding (6.8 rpg.). Injury-hit Efes, which has a 2-6 record on the road, has been lifted by newcomer Mike Daum, averaging 13.8 points on 52.6% three-point shooting in his four appearances. Bayern leads the league in rebounding with 39.1 per game, while Efes ranks last with 30.2, so that physical edge could be crucial on Wednesday night.
