Anadolu Efes – Virtus Bologna

Collin Malcolm has stepped up since mid-October: over his last 6 games he has played 26-36 minutes and scored 13, 15, 15, 9, 15 and 20 points, so 10+ in 5 of 6. Last round he put up 20 in Paris, going 6/6 from two.

In Istanbul he is even steadier: he has gone past 10 in each of his last four home games (13, 15, 15, 20). He faces Virtus, who come in on a 4-game losing streak and allow 89.5 points per game, the seventh-worst defense in the league. Overtime counts.

The risk: in his first four games of the season he did not go past 6 points. If his minutes drop, 10+ gets harder.
