Gaziantep Team News
Gaziantep probably gambled away their survival in the Turkish Super League last week. They received a three-pointer from Petkim Spor seven seconds before the end and lost 80:79. They are in 15th place with a score of 9-20, as well as Besiktas, which is the first above the line, but the black and whites from Istanbul have a better mutual score.
The calculation for Gaziantep is straightforward. To survive in the Turkish Super League, they need to beat Darussafaka and for Besiktas to lose at home against Buyukcekmece. The latter will be more complicated than the former. The reason for Gaziantep’s poor form is the terrible attack this season. They score only 75.9 points per game and are the worst in this competition. They also have a terrible away record. Out of 15 games in the Turkish Superliga on the sidelines, they won only against Tofaš in November last year.
The situation may seem hopeless for Gaziantep, but they can only beat Darussafaka and wait for the outcome of the Besiktas-Buyukcekmece match. That they have enough quality to celebrate in this duel is best shown by the fact that Turk Telekom and Galatasaray recently outplayed on this field.

Darussafaka Team News
Darussafaka entered this season with much smaller investments than in previous years, but the result did not suffer. Coaching continuity came to the fore the most. Selcuk Ernak has led this club for four and a half years and has built a recognizable style of basketball.
Although they don’t have particularly noisy fans and a strong home field, Darussafaka provided much better results at home than away. They celebrated away from home only four times this season, and out of the last ten away matches in the Turkish Super League, they won only two.
Interestingly, both triumphs came after extra time, which is more than enough indication of how much they are struggling on someone else’s floor. Former Igokea player Markel Starks is Darussafaka’s floor general, even though he has been in a serious crisis for a few months. Without his creativity, tall players Gabriel Olaseni and Aaron White are mainly responsible for the points.
Theoretically, Darussafaka still hasn’t secured an appearance in the playoffs. However, for a place in the top 8 to slip away from them, many results must happen, and many are unrealistic. They would certainly finish in sixth place with a win, which would take them to Anadolu Efes in the quarterfinals.

Gaziantep vs Darussafaka Prediction
This is a “must-win” game for Gaziantep. They shouldn’t lose in front of their fans. They shouldn’t lose because that would mean relegation. Darussafaka has not shone away from home this season, and they will need an extraordinary edition to triumph in the last round of the regular season of the Turkish Super League.
