Anadolu Efes have recorded the EuroLeague’s weakest offensive numbers this season and suffered a major setback with the loss of key player Mike James for at least six months.

Match Preview
These two sides have already met in the Turkish Super Lig this season, with Anadolu Efes claiming a commanding 95-81 victory in front of their home crowd. However, they have since lost key player Mike James to injury, so we could see a completely different match on Thursday.
Anadolu Efes Struggling with Injuries
Anadolu Efes have suffered injuries to key players for the second year in a row, with Shane Larkin sidelined last season and Mike James tearing his Achilles tendon earlier this month. This has left the Turkish side in 13th place with a 2-4 record.
They started last week’s double-round action with a disappointing 101-93 defeat. Efes controlled the paint well, winning the rebound battle 36-25, but committed 20 turnovers, which proved costly. Dario Saric was their top performer with 21 points.
Pablo Laso’s side were tagged as big underdogs in their follow-up clash against Zalgiris but delivered their best performance of the season, claiming an 85-70 victory in Kaunas. Saric recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Matthew Strazel led the scoring with 19 points.
However, they failed to build on that result and lost Monday’s Super Lig clash against Esenler Erokspor 73-70.
Besiktas Finding Their Feet in Europe
Besiktas returned to the elite European division after a 13-year wait and have produced mixed results so far, claiming three victories in six matches.
Dusan Alimpijevic’s side put up a fight against favored Hapoel Tel Aviv last Tuesday, staying competitive in the first half before collapsing defensively. They allowed 57 points in the final 20 minutes and lost 100-82.
The Black Eagles claimed their first EuroLeague victory at home last Friday, outplaying Bayern Munich 95-87 thanks to an excellent start that saw them lead by 18 points at halftime. Jaylen Nowell was named man of the match with 21 points, four assists and three rebounds.

Verdict
Anadolu Efes have posted the worst offensive numbers in the EuroLeague so far this season and have lost star player Mike James for at least six months. Pablo Laso also prefers to slow the game down when his side are tagged as favorites, so Under 175.5 points is my pick.
Under 175.5
