Bayern is third in offensive rebounds (10.7), but is shooting just 44.0% on two-pointers, which is last in the league. The hosts will need Othello Hunter, Freddie Gillespie and Augustine Rubit to stand up to Maccabi’s shot blockers and score more in the paint to improve their chances.
On the other end, Bayern has allowed opposing teams to shoot 55.8 on two-pointers. If Maccabi’s dynamic guards can generate good looks inside for Alex Poythress, Josh Nebo and Roman Sorkin near the basket, it could make a huge difference for the visitors as they hunt their first road win this season.
