CSKA also have a 0-1 record this season and are tied with Efes and 7 more squads in the last place. They are coming off a road defeat against Olimpia Milano with an 84-74 score, even though they finished the first quarter of the game leading 29-21. But they combined for just 45 points in the next three quarters and shot with just 44.4% from the paint, while allowing their opponents to shoot with 59%. Iffe Lundberg led the team with 13 points, adding 7 rebounds and a team-high 6 assists. Will Clyburn added 12 points and 3 boards.

Anadolu Efes led CSKA Moscow 2-1 wins last season, winning the only home game with a 100-70 score. They are 3-1 in their previous four overall meetings, but CSKA are 6-1 in their previous seven matchups in Istanbul. Efes had a 10-6 home record last year, while CSKA were 12-5 on the road. CSKA did not look good on the road in their first game, so I’m going to pick the hosting Efes to bounce back and beat the odds today.
