Overview

Two iconic guards will surely have a big say in the outcome, as Efes star Shane Larkin (18 points per game, third in the league) looks to out-shoot visiting motor Mike James, who leads the league with 19.3 points per night. Larkin was the key factor by scoring 25 points when Efes won at Monaco in November, 82-89, while Rodrigue Beaubois showed off his scoring potential with 21 points – and he heads into this game in great form after also netting 21 in last week’s destruction of Barcelona.
