Anadolu Efes vs Pinar Karsiyaka Prediction: Efes' leader will once again trouble his opponents

Vasilije Micic, who started the playoffs shakily, has scored at least 24 points for the third game in a row. He's only recently recovered, so it's unlikely he's tired.

Anadolu Efes

Efes won the first game of the series by only four points (82:78), scored much less than we expected, lost again on three-pointers (10:12), and lost on rebounds (35:39) and assists (11:18).

Vasilije Micic scored 24 points and was the most productive player for his team and the game. For three games in a row, he scored more than 20 points - 27 and 25 in the last two games against Fener.

The second most prolific scorer for Efes is Bryan, with 15 points. Elijah would have scored more but missed three free throws.

Clyburn had only 10 points - he made only one shot from the field, and the rest came from free throws. Andrei Will will likely be more competitive in the next game.

Pinar Karsiyaka

As we suspected, Angel Delgado did not shine under Pleiss with just five points. We don't think the Dominican will learn new tricks by the second game. McCollum has 21 points, and Angola has 15. Here, too, they're unlikely to change anything. The team made only 13 two-point shots.

Based on the result of the first game, the bookmakers have become more cautious with handicaps, but they're giving the exact huge totals. Since the totals didn't work out last time, we'll focus on team and player stats.
