Olympiacos - Anadolu Efes

Hello.
Euroleague. Oly against Efes. We're going with the Efes game.
Oly is trimmed with injuries, especially in the defense. Evans is still not back, Walkup dropped out, and Fournier and McKissic are on the brink. The latter two may return soon, but the adjustment after injuries is usually difficult. On the other hand, Efes has a very solid defense - with the in-form Loyd (except for the match against Partizan), Larkin, Cordinier, and Weiler-Babb. They have done an amazing job in the summer and have a strong team. They also have the impressive Osmani, who shone in the European Championship. They may miss Porier under the basket, but they can still play. I think Oly will struggle against Milutinov and Hall under the basket, but they may make up for it with their defensive play. Without Walkup, I don't see anyone stopping Loyd and Larkin, and with Cordinier playing at the 3 position for Efes, they will be too fast for everyone.
I'm not necessarily expecting an easy win for Efes, but an 8-point handicap seems very disrespectful. I think the fight will be intense. Good luck.
