Both teams lost last time out, with the Greens falling at Partizan while Efes was stifled by Zalgiris. The Greens will try to feed off the energy of center Mathias Lessort, who also showed his distribution skills by dishing a personal best 5 assists in the loss at Partizan, so the Turkish team’s big man Derek Willis will need to show the rebounding power that saw him grab 8 boards in Kaunas last time out. Elijah Bryant (13 points per game) has been Efes’s go-to guard during the injury absence of Shane Larkin, and he needs a big performance against an extremely deep Panathinaikos backcourt.
