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.
