Bayern Team News
Bayern managed to beat Panathinaikos last week. Although they are at 6-11 and have three wins less than eighth-placed Zalgiris, they are not giving up on the idea of playing in the Euroleague quarterfinals. After all, no one gave them much of a chance in previous two years either, but they find a way both times.
The fact is that Bayern have a lot of problems with injuries this season. Head coach Andrea Trinchieri didn’t have all players at his disposal at any time. Now, the leader and captain Vladimir Lucic is out, so they adjusted the offense a lot. Cassius Winston and Freddie Gillespie are not consistently at the level expected from them when they signed. Bayern struggles the most offensively in the paint. They are scoring only 44.6% two-point shots and that are the worst numbers in the Euroleague.
In several games this season, Bayern shown that they can play defensively at a solid level. If they can find a way to slow down Baskonia’s offense, they will have something to hope for. It is also necessary for them to shoot well from a distance, which was not often the case.
Baskonia Team News
Without any doubt, Baskonia are the most pleasant surprise in the Euroleague this season. Many expected them to be one of five weakest teams in this competition, but they are at 11-6 after 17 rounds. Last week, Baskonia lost to Alba in Berlin and they are now hoping for a better result in Germany.
One of the main reasons for Baskonia’s outstanding results is shooting guard Markus Howard. He scores 15.6 points per game. Also, Howard made 55 three-pointers so far in the Euroleague with a percentage of 46.6%. When he’s in good mood, it’s almost impossible to stop him. He hit an incredible game winner against Valencia this weekend. Along with him, Baskonia has several other fantastic shooters such as Rokas Giedaritis, Vanja Marinkovic, Matt Costello and Daulton Hommes. Plus, they have Pierria Herny and Darius Thompson who are controling offensive rhythm very well.
Baskonia made only 39.4% two-point shots in Berlin last week. This is something they will have to do better in Munich to avoid another defeat. Bayern aren’t too much of a threat offensively, but that definitely doesn’t mean they can relax defensively.

Bayern vs Baskonia Prediction
This season, Bayern doesn’t have the quality like in some previous years, but they are fighting for every ball. They don’t give up for a single moment and such a mentality can be rewarded. They can definitely find a way to slow down Baskonia’s offense and if they do that, they will definitely able to at least cover five-point handicap.
