We remind you that both faced minor injury problems in her recent game Efes against Maccabi Tel Aviv in Belgrade last Tuesday, with the two basketball players, however, overcoming the discomfort and being normally in 12th of the Turks.

In fact, Efes can also count on his services Elijah Bryantwho in the last match against the Israelis served the penalty of one game, imposed on him by the Euroleague for fight with Tarik Biberovic in the Turkish derby with Fener.

Zervas: “Opportunity for a big double with Efes, Olympiacos – Defense, pace and rebounds are key”


The possibility of getting a big double tonight has o Olympic against Anadolu Efes, as pointed out by the representative of News Bulletin 247 in Istanbul, Nikos Zervas.

“Efes have doubts about Larkin and Oturu, but they have great depth with 17 players. He hasn’t started well, he has two consecutive defeats and he definitely wants to react. The game is not… circled for victory by Olympiakos, but if they manage to get it they will have made a very good start. He has won there since 2017 and has a chance to make it a big double to get a boost ahead of the very tough schedule. He has four games in six days, with Bayern in Munich and then three home runs against Panathinaikos for the championship, Real and Barcelona.”he emphasized.

“Defense is a big key to stopping the tempo of a very aggressive team. Olympiacos must start from there and control the rebounds, which is a flaw it has presented in its first games. If he gives extra possessions to Efes, who have much more talent than their opponents in the Euroleague so far, things will be very difficult. If he also has a good three-point percentage, he increases the chances to get the victory”he added.
