Overview

Both teams suffered tight road losses last week, with the Turkish team going down bravely at Olympiacos, while Real’s offense spluttered during a defeat at Monaco. The visitors lead the league in rebounding (36.5 per game), so will look for the likes of Walter Tavares (7.6 boards per game) to give physical dominance and open up space on the perimeter for Mario Hezonja, who led his team’s scoring at Monaco with 15 points but was also ejected for two technical fouls. Efes won 64-74 in Madrid in November with the help of 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocked shots from big man Vincent Poirier, who will again look to get the better of his former teammate Tavares.
