In a meeting of direct rivals on the edge of the playoffs places, Maccabi (7-6) hosts Efes (7-6) in Belgrade to break their part of a five-way tie for sixth place.
Game Notes: Maccabi vs. Efes
2023-24
3 Mins read
Both teams have performed better offensively than defensively, with Efes ranked 15th for allowing 86.4 points per game and Maccabi 17th at 87.6. That could give plenty of scoring opportunities to a bunch of prolific shooters, with Shane Larkin as the current third-highest scorer in the league (17.7 ppg.) and Lorenzo Brown ranked second in assists (6.8 apg.). Efes has overcome injury problems to win three of its last four games with help from new signing Mike Daum, who drained 5 triples in a comeback victory at ALBA last time out.
