Baskonia have a 5-9 record this season and are tied with three more teams in the third to last place of the league. They are coming off a home victory against Lyon-Villeurbanne with a 91-66 score.

They were unstoppable in the second half of the game, as they held their opponents into just 22 total points in that span and scoring 46 themselves. Simone Fontecchio and Rokas Giedraitis led the team with 15 points apiece.

Giedraitis leads the team in scoring with 12 ppg, adding 3.9 rebounds per game. Fontecchio adds 11.9 ppg and 4.6 rebounds per game.

Efes have a 4-3 home record this season, while Baskonia are 1-3 on the road. Efes have been struggling this season and the -9.5 spread for this game feels too high, so I’m going to pick Baskonia to force a closer game and beat the odds.
