These teams' strengths lie in different areas, with the Efes relying on star guard Shane Larkin, who memorably scored 49 points against Bayern in 2019. The German team, on the other hand, will look to dominate the frontcourt through the duo of Devin Booker and Serge Ibaka, who combined for 34 points and 14 rebounds in last week's win over Zvezda. Bayern also possesses long-range shooting threats like Andreas Obst, who netted 17 points in a 86-71 home win over Efes in Round 15.
- Isaac Bonga posted a career-high PIR of 24 in leading Bayern past Efes 86-71 in Round 15.
- Efes set a club record with 10 blocks in Round 15 loss.
- The Round 11 game in 2019 between these two teams will be marked in the EuroLeague history books for the performance of Shane Larkin who shattered the EuroLeague single-game scoring record with 49 points and tied the mark for three-pointers by making 10. He also set a club record and a career-high with a PIR 53 in that game, earning MVP of the Round honors.
- Bayern's single-game club record of 11 assists was set by Wade Baldwin in a road win over Efes in November 2020.
- The Bayern trio Isaac Bonga, Andreas Obst and Niels Gifey have been teammates of Efes guard Justus Hollatz on the German national team, and together they won the gold medal at the 2023 Basketball World Cup.
- Bayern's Andreas Obst and Efes forward Derek Willis were teammates at ratiopharm Ulm in the 2019-20 season.
- Efes center Tibor Pleiss and Bayern forward Niels Giffey have also been teammates on the German national team.
