Anadolu Efes to host Round 11 EuroLeague game vs. FC Bayern Munich in Antalya

The EuroLeague Round 11 matchup between [Anadolu Efes Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/anadolu-efes-istanbul/ist/) and [FC Bayern Munich](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fc-bayern-munich/mun/) will be played in Antalya, at Antalya Sports Hall, on Friday, November 14, with tipoff scheduled for 20:00 local time.

Anadolu Efes Istanbul v FC Bayern Munich (2025-11-14T17:30:00.000Z)

Filling out your fantasy rosters in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge can be rewarding. This week, Igor Petrinovic helps you find those cheap players.

Fantasy tips, Rounds 7-8: No-risk, high-reward gems

When putting together our EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge rosters, we often zero in on picking players like Sasha Vezenkov, Kendrick Nunn, or Jordan Nwora – your likely captain selection, the one you’re counting on to carry the team.

Often, to make room for the stars, we all have to select a few of the cheap options, those players often worth minimum of credits that we use to fill out our roster and plan to keep on the bench. And more often than not, those guys are not even included on the 12-man game-day roster.

However, for me personally, there is nothing as rewarding as unearthing those hidden gems, and getting double-digit fantasy points from cheap players.

Strategically, a good performance from a player below 6 or 7 credits might not be as important as making a good choice of a team captain, however cheap players can be true life-savers. Especially when your choice of an expensive player flops, or if you are forced to put those guys in your lineup on the final night of the round and they unexpectedly deliver.

The good thing about these, there is very low risk and potentially a big reward. These guys playing well are just a bonus. However, finding those who are in better position to succeed is not an easy task.

So, with another double-round week upon us, here are a few choices for you to consider when it comes to players who might get your money's worth this week.

### Arijan Lakic, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, 4.0 credits

Losing Carlik Jones and having Shake Milton injured has once again put guard [Arijan Lakic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/arijan-lakic/007736/) in a position to get significant minutes. Lakic already played more than 20 minutes last week against Paris, and he is probably set to get the same workload this week. Likely getting 15-20 minutes on the floor from a player worth 4 credits is a great start. Another Partizan player to consider is forward [Aleksej Pokusevski](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/aleksej-pokusevski/008232/) (5.3 credits).

### Stefan Miljenovic, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade, 4.1 credits

Zvezda is playing well, but is still heavily depleted by injury. Which could mean an opportunity for guard [Stefan Miljenovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/stefan-miljenovic/014094/), who is averaging 26 minutes in domestic league action and this past Saturday dropped 18 points and 5 assists. The team, and the coach, love what the 24-year-old brings. Another Zvezda player to keep in mind is its team captain, forward [Ognjen Dobric](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/ognjen-dobric/004007/) (4.3 credits), who has returned from injury and will certainly have a role in the rotation.

### Sebastian Herrera, Paris Basketball, 4.9 credits

Speaking of life-savers, enter Paris team captain [Sebastian Herrera](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/sebastian-herrera/012611/) who exploded for a career-high 17.6 fps last week. And that was on the road in Belgrade, in one of the toughest EuroLeague environments to play. The Paris guard is averaging 18 minutes and 5.5 three-point attempts per game. So, the volume is there. This week, Paris faces Efes and Milan.

### Giampaolo Ricci, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, 5.2 credits

There seems to be a theme here, because sweet-shooting forward [Giampaolo Ricci](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/giampaolo-ricci/001518/) is also a team captain. He is arguably the hottest cheap player because with Zack LeDay out, in the last two games he averaged north of 25 minutes, delivering 13.2 and 12.0 fps, respectively, while shooting 8-of-9 from three-point range. Given that LeDay is out for Round 7 at least, I think Ricci will keep rolling.

### Kosta Kondic, Dubai Basketball, 5.8 credits

This is one of the most expensive players in this group, and another one who got his chance due to injuries on the team. But that’s how things work every season in any sport. [Kosta Kondic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kosta-kondic/014031/) seized the opportunity last week with 12 fps, and he led the team in minutes played this past weekend in the Adriatic League. Playing two road games in a double-round week, Kondic should get his minutes, and he is cheap enough for him to be a risk-free shot.

At a glance: Round 7 marks the start of another double-round week

The latest double-round week takes flight on Tuesday and Wednesday, headlined by a rematch from last season’s Final Four. Let’s take a look ahead to the upcoming action in Round 7.

## Tuesday, October 28

### Zalgiris Kaunas vs. Virtus Bologna (19:00 CET)

Two of the six teams tied for second place will battle for another victory as Zalgiris (4-2) welcomes dangerous Virtus (4-2). The Lithuanian team bounced back into winning ways with an impressive road win at Barcelona last week, powered by the backcourt as Maodo Lo and Sylvain Francisco combined for 34 points and 9 assists. Another strength for Zalgiris is the rebounding power of Moses Wright, who averages 2.2 offensive boards per night. Virtus will be confident after winning three in a row, including a comfortable victory over Panathinaikos last time out, and will lean on former Zalgiris big man Alen Smailagic to compete hard in the paint. And Carsen Edwards will attempt to maintain his hot streak after averaging 27.3 points in the winning run.

### Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade vs. LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (19:00 CET)

Red-hot Zvezda (4-2) will attempt to extend its impressive four-game winning run against unpredictable ASVEL (2-4). A pair of do-it-all guards will take central roles, with Zvezda dynamo Codi Miller-McIntyre (14 points and 5.8 assists per night) going up against the EuroLeague’s all-time PIR leader Nando De Colo, who showed he can still dominate by combining 24 points with 5 assists to inspire last week’s win over Dubai. In the paint, Jordan Nwora has become a leading candidate for October’s MVP award by compiling an average PIR of 23.6, and his versatility will present a major challenge to ASVEL powerhouse Mbaye Ndiaye, who has averaged 10.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in the last two games.

### FC Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid (20:00 CET)

A return to winning ways is on the menu as Bayern (2-4) welcomes Real Madrid (3-3). Bayern has lost three of its last four due to a struggling offense which ranks last in the league with just 75.7 points per game, while Real is seeking a first road victory. Both teams need to improve their long-range accuracy, with the Spanish team ranked last in the league with 30.5% three-point shooting while Bayern is little better at 31.8%. The battle of the boards will be crucial, with Trey Lyles (5.0 rpg) and Chuma Okeke (4.8) helping make Real the third-best rebounding unit in the competition (38.2 per night), whereas the host has struggled in that category with an average of just 30.5 so needs Wenyen Gabriel to step up from his current 4.0 rebounds per night.

### Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens vs. Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv (20:15 CET)

Maccabi (2-4) will attempt to claim a second straight high-profile scalp as it travels to inconsistent Panathinaikos (4-2). Last week’s dramatic win over Real Madrid, courtesy of Tamir Blatt’s late three-pointer, gave the Israeli team confidence in its ability to compete with anyone, and the visiting team will hope that sharpshooting Lonnie Walker stays hot after netting 27 points in that win. Panathinaikos needs to bounce back after losing at Virtus, where the silver lining was TJ Shorts finally looking comfortable in green by netting 15 points. Panathinaikos was heavily outrebounded last week so needs more from the likes of Omer Yurtseven (7.5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game), while Maccabi will look for another big physical effort from forward O’Shea Brissett after he scored 18 points in 38 minutes in the win over Real.

### FC Barcelona vs. EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (20:30 CET)

A pair of teams in recovery mode meet at Palau Blaugrana with Barcelona (3-3) welcoming Milan (2-4). Barca has slipped down the standings with consecutive losses, struggling to find offensive production in last week’s home loss to Zalgiris despite 17 points from Joel Parra. Milan also lost its last game despite almost overturning a huge deficit against Valencia, and will be anxious to make a better start after allowing 54 first half points in that game. The Italian team will look for more leadership from former Barca guard Leandro Bolmaro, who delivered a career night last time out with 31 points. Against him, home team star Kevin Punter is looking for a similar scoring explosion after going 0-of-5 for three-pointers in the last two games.

### Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. Dubai Basketball (20:30 CET)

Two teams aiming to bounce back meet as winless Baskonia (0-6) aim to change that statistic with a visit from Dubai (4-2). Baskonia’s backcourt injury problems were somewhat offset by a decent debut from Kobi Simmons in last week’s loss at Zvezda, but he must to do more to support the consistent scoring of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (20 points per game). In the paint, Dubai boasts two of the league’s top rebounders in Filip Petrusev (7.3 boards per night) and Mfiondu Kabengele (6.7), so Baskonia’s Tadas Sedekerskis needs a return to form after only scoring 2 and 5 points in the last two games. Above all, the home team must tighten up defensively after allowing at least 86 points in every game for a league-high average of 96 per night.

### Paris Basketball vs. Anadolu Efes Istanbul (20:45 CET)

Free-scoring Paris (4-2) is targeting another triumph as its welcomes struggling Efes (2-4). The game presents a shootout between two of the league’s deadliest long-range shooters, as Paris star Nadir Hifi leads the league with 3.7 three-point conversions per game while Efes legend Shane Larkin averages 15.3 points on 46.2% from beyond the arc. Efes needs to play for the full 40 minutes after running out of steam in the final quarters of home losses to Panathinaikos and Fenerbahce, and needs to be ready for Paris’s fast-paced style which has yielded more than 100 points in three of the last five games. Efes also need Rolands Smits (5.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game) to step up in the paint against Momo Faye, who averages 8.5 rebounds in the last two games.

### Valencia Basket vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (21:00 CET)

Reigning champ Fenerbahce (3-3) faces a tough road trip to Valencia (3-3) in a real contrast of styles. The Spanish team's free-scoring offense struck treble figures for the third time this season to overcome Milan last week, whereas Fenerbahce demonstrated its ability to grind out tough wins by taking a low-scoring local derby against Efes. The Turkish team will look to control the tempo through the backcourt knowhow of Devon Hall and Wade Baldwin, while Valencia will look to push the pace through Darius Thompson (14.3 points and 4.5 assists per game). Both teams also possess big men who can stretch the floor, with Nate Reuvers averaging 10.5 points on 52.6% three-point shooting, and Bonzie Colson (9.5 points, 47.1% for three) doing the same job for a Fener team looking for a third straight win.

## Wednesday, October 29

### Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv vs. Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade (19:00 CET)

Standings leader Hapoel (5-1) will aim for a fourth straight win as Partizan (3-3) targets a return to the win column. The Israeli team’s hot streak has been propelled by the excellence of Vasilije Micic, who netted 22 points on 8-of-9 field goal shooting in last week’s win over Monaco, and he will look to exploit the injury absence of Carlik Jones, with Partizan needing another strong performance from Duane Washington after he combined 16 points with 5 assists in the Round 6 loss to Paris. In the paint, Johnathan Motley showcased his mid-range shooting by netting 11 points in the final quarter of Hapoel’s win over Monaco, and the visiting team need to counter his physical prowess through Tyrique Jones (9 points and 5 rebounds per game).

### Olympiacos Piraeus vs. AS Monaco (20:15 CET)

A repeat of last season's semifinal will see Olympiacos (4-2) target a third straight win with a visit from Monaco (3-3). The return to fitness of Thomas Walkup, Evan Fournier and Shaquielle McKissic has seriously strengthened the Reds’ backcourt options, with Walkup in particularly making a smooth return to action as he dished 8 assists in last week’s win at Bayern. Monaco has struggled for offensive output on the road, scoring just 77 and 73 points in recent losses at Hapoel and Virtus. Visiting coach (and Olympiacos legend) Vassilis Spanoulis needs Nikola Mirotic to perform at his very best against Sasha Vezenkov in a crucial battle between arguably the league’s best two power forwards, with Vezenkov averaging 19.2 points and 9.2 rebounds so far this season.

There are eight games on Tuesday, then two on Wednesday, including a repeat of last year's EuroLeague Semifinal

Sportradar examines the widening gap between how teams are utilizing the post offensively, with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona among those who go into the post the most  

Stats review: The growing divide in the post

On top of the competitive action on the floor, there are several very intriguing league-wide trends already gaining traction through the first month of the 2025-26 EuroLeague Regular Season. While it is still a little early for some of them to crystallize, there are a few that seem to have real staying power, including the widening gap between how teams are utilizing the post offensively. 

The decline in post usage over the last decade is well-documented. During the 2015-16 regular season, nine of 23 teams generated over 10 possessions per game, either looking to their big men to score or finding the open man operating with their backs to the basket, with no team falling below 5 possessions per game. This season, only 2 teams are generating over 10 possessions per game, with 10 teams falling under 5 possessions per game. Much of that decline in post play - from roughly 11% of all possessions to 7%, was a natural evolution. 

As three-point rates and percentages propelled a rise in overall offensive efficiency, the bar for back-to-the-basket scorers rose to a height that was difficult for all but the league’s top offensive big men to clear. That is reflected vividly in post efficiency rates that have risen from 0.86 points per possession a decade ago to 1.00 - nearly identical to the league’s record pace - this one as touches dried up for all put the most effective weapons.

All of that puts what [Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/statistics/mad/) has done to this point in perspective. Not only are *Los Blancos* creating through the post as often as any team in the last two decades of the EuroLeague basketball, but the team has done so with staggering efficiency. Only one team over that period has generated over 15 points playing through the post: the [FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/statistics/bar/?season=2021-22&phase=All%20phases) team that put up 15.6 per game relying on [Nikola Mirotic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nikola-mirotic/000796/) and [Brandon Davies](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/brandon-davies/007870/) during the 2021-22 season. 

Madrid has not built its success on the interior with a pair of interior weapons like that team, it has done it almost entirely by committee. With no single player getting over a quarter of their post touches, [Mario Hezonja](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mario-hezonja/003108/) has been a matchup problem for opposing wings inside, [Gabriel Deck](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/gabriel-deck/009005/) has done a great job finding the open man from the block, newcomer [Trey Lyles](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/trey-lyles/014117/) has been extremely patient trying to get defenders off the ground to draw fouls, and [Walter Tavares](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/walter-tavares/005791/) remains one of the sport’s most imposing physical presences. At a point where post play has never been less prominent across the top levels of basketball, Madrid has found a way to do much of its best work offensively with a group effort on the block

It is worth noting how efficient teams like Barcelona, [Dubai Basketball](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/dubai-basketball/statistics/dub/?season=2021-22&phase=All%20phases), and [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/statistics/oly/?season=2021-22&phase=All%20phases) have been playing through the post as well since, at least early on, it seems as though the EuroLeague has reached a tipping point where post play has become perhaps more refined than it has been marginalized. Even with the league’s overall efficiency rising to record heights, post touches have been a key source of very efficient offense for several teams - something that has not been as apparent in recent years.

Though personnel plays a significant role in which teams can punish opposing defenses from the post, the number of teams finding real success there is notable given how many offenses in recent seasons have eschewed establishing any real presence on the block and figures to be a trend to keep an eye on as season rolls along.

Sportradar looks at Real Madrid, which is one of the few teams still posting up players regularly 

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens secured a dominant 91–70 home win over Promitheas Patras on Sunday night in the Greek League. Center Omer Yurtseven stood out for the Greens with 19 points and 11 rebounds

Panathinaikos cruises past Promitheas in domestic play

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens secured a dominant 91–70 home win over Promitheas Patras on Sunday night in the Greek League. Center Omer Yurtseven stood out for the Greens with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Konstantinos Mitoglou posted 14 and 7, and T.J. Shorts scored 13. Panathinaikos held out star players Kendrick Nunn and Juancho Hernangomez. Rob Gray led Promitheas with 20 points.

The game began evenly, with Promitheas holding a narrow 20–21 lead after the first quarter. The visitors briefly extended their advantage to 22–27 early in the second, but Panathinaikos responded with a strong run, taking control at 33–31 and stretching the lead to 49–34 before finishing the half up 52–39.

Panathinaikos opened the third quarter with a 9–0 run to all but put the game out of reach. Promitheas managed to cut the deficit to 70–53 midway through the period, but the Greens maintained their momentum, closing the third quarter ahead 75–56. The lead ballooned to 83–56 in the fourth quarter to all but secure the outcome.

In a landmark moment for Greek basketball, Mykonos hosted its first-ever top-flight home game in the Greek League, but the celebration was short-lived as Olympiacos cruised to a 65-91 victory on Sunday.

Saben Lee led five Olympiacos scorers in double figures with 19 points, Frank Ntilikina scored 16 and Tyler Dorsey tallied 10 points and 7 assists. Tyree Appleby paced Mykonos with 12 points and 6 assists.

The hosts showed early grit, rallying from an 8-point deficit to take a surprise 19-18 lead after the first quarter. Their physical defense disrupted Olympiacos’s rhythm, and a 12-3 run briefly gave Mykonos the edge. But the visitors quickly regrouped behind Giannoulis Larentzakis and Dorsey, reclaiming control and entering halftime up 35–29.

The second half was all Olympiacos. Coach Bartzokas’s squad tightened the screws defensively and caught fire from beyond the arc, with Sasha Vezenkov and Ntilikina leading the charge. A 20-8 third-quarter burst ballooned the lead to 26 points, and Dorsey’s scoring flurry pushed the margin to 36 midway through the fourth.

With the game well in hand, Bartzokas rotated his bench, resting key players ahead of a demanding EuroLeague double week. Notably, Thomas Walkup and Evan Fournier, who returned from injuries last week, were held out of the lineup entirely. The win kept the Reds unbeaten in domestic play as they look ahead to clashes with Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv and Virtus Bologna this week.

From the opening tip, Coach Dimitris Itoudis’s squad imposed its will. Blakeney sparked a first-quarter surge with back-to-back threes, and Guy Palatin added key buckets in a 12–0 run that gave Hapoel a double-digit lead. The Reds led 30–18 after 10 minutes and extended the gap to 56–39 by halftime.

In the second half, Odiase took over. His energy on both ends helped Hapoel stretch the lead to 26 points, while Jonathan Motley and Tyler Ennis kept the tempo high. Ness Ziona, still winless this season, struggled to respond despite a strong showing from Moskovits, who scored in bunches and briefly cut the deficit to single digits in the second quarter. The final frame saw Hapoel maintain control, with Odiase continuing to dominate the paint and the defense forcing turnovers. The Reds closed out the game with authority, improving to 3–0 in the Israeli league.

Bayern drops game in Berlin

FC Bayern Munich suffered its first defeat of the German League season, falling 67–61 to ALBA Berlin on Sunday in front of nearly 13,000 fans at Uber Arena. Despite leading by 9 early in the fourth quarter, the reigning German champions collapsed down the stretch, scoring just 6 points in the final 8 minutes.

Missing several key players - including Vladimir Lucic, Ognjen Jovic, Jo Voigtmann, and Niels Giffey - Bayern still looked poised to win after a 55–46 lead midway through the final period. A clutch three-pointer from Xavier Rathan-Mayes seemed to seal momentum, but ALBA responded with a 10–0 run, capitalizing on a flurry of Bayern turnovers.

Justinian Jessup led Bayern with 16 points and 5 rebounds, while Wenyen Gabriel added 10. However, the team committed 18 turnovers and struggled to finish at the rim in crunch time. ALBA’s Martin Hermannsson paced the hosts with 12 points.
