CSKA Moscow - Unics

The seat is already warm, but there are still good chances for a performance. Milan has a good team this year, they just lack a bit of playing rhythm, but with additions like Guduric and Booker, they will certainly play better. Shields still needs to work on his driving. I think Efes will be a disappointment this season, as things are not going well for Kokoshkov here and there are also problems in the front line. Osmani should play over 30 minutes, but even he is not a true center. It all falls on the guards, who are very inconsistent, while Milan can pressure and throw them off their rhythm. The arena is half-empty, so the home advantage is almost non-existent. It will be a challenge for Efes to take a win here.

Efes is not a defensive team. I think they will have a very tough time in this game. The team lacks height, although Osmani is a fast player and a threat on offense. All of Milan's injured players have returned except for Lorenzo, but the most important thing is that they are strong under the basket. Leday, Nebo, and Booker will easily break through Efes' weak defense and chances for defending will be slim. It will be difficult for Efes to grab rebounds, and Milan will probably have more second-chance opportunities. Currently, Cordinier and Loyd are Game Time Decisions, and without them, Efes will have a tough time. Milan has a team full of offensive talent this year and can confidently play an offensive game. Messina promotes a slow style of play, but against a 0 defense, I believe they will also score points with a good shooting percentage and second-chance opportunities.
