Key strength of both teams and absence/roster checkpoints

Detailed tactical flow and observation points

1. Coach Pablo Lasso's transition control early in the game: In a pre-interview, Coach Lasso emphasized, "Paris is always an irregular and surprising team, so we need to control fast breaks with high concentration from the first minute of the game." Jordan Lloyd and Matthew Stragel's defensive roles up front are important.

2. Paris' counterattack after suffering its first loss in the domestic league: Paris, whose undefeated streak in the league was cut short by losing 90-94 in overtime at Cholet in the French league midweek, is aiming for a turnaround in the away trip to Istanbul with Nadir Hippie's bold 3-point shot and forward pressure.

3. Paint zone height battle: The winner is expected to be determined by how long Paris' Allan Dokosi and Muhammed Payet can withstand the inferiority of rebounds against the height of Efes' goal protected by Bruno Fernando and Dario Sharic.
