Head-to-head statistics Fenerbahce - Paris
Fenerbahce Team Overview
Fenerbahce continue to delight their fans with confident performances on their home court. Over the last 10 games, they've secured 8 victories, consistently displaying a high level of play. The team averages a modest 83.2 points per game (11th), but their defense keeps opponents in check, allowing just 81.2 points (3rd position). Their strengths lie in teamwork and controlling the pace of the game. Notably, Fenerbahce have won 20 out of their last 21 home games across all competitions-an impressive feat that underscores how challenging it is for opponents to play in Istanbul.
It's worth mentioning that the Turkish side have defeated Paris twice in the regular season, most recently in March, when Hayes-Davis scored a game-winning shot in a thrilling shootout (101-100). Interestingly, this player set a EuroLeague record by scoring 50 points against the underdog Alba.

Paris Basketball Team Overview
Paris are in exceptional form on the road, having won all five of their recent matches consecutively. Their strength lies in their aggressive offense, averaging 86.3 points per game (ranked 7th), and their ability to quickly adapt to opponents' gameplay. However, their defense raises concerns, allowing as many as 85.32 points (ranked 13th). Notably, Paris have maintained a +1.5 point spread advantage for 12 consecutive games across all competitions.
Despite this, the French club are considered underdogs in this series and will need to exceed expectations to overcome a formidable opponent like Fenerbahçe. The team’s hopes largely rest on one of the league's top players, TJ Shorts, who averages 18.8 points and 7.5 assists per game. Additionally, big man Hayes stands out with 1.8 rebounds per game, alongside the sharpshooting duo of Heifi and Jantunen, who excel from beyond the arc.

Editor's Prediction
Both teams favor a fast-paced game with an emphasis on offense and are adept at imposing their style on opponents: Fenerbahçe aim to dominate through teamwork and controlling the tempo, while Paris rely heavily on three-point shooting and quick transitions from defense to offense. Both squads are in excellent form, with recent games ending in narrow victories or close losses against top EuroLeague contenders. We believe the coaches will place a stronger emphasis on defense, which often prevails in playoff matches. Considering Fenerbahçe's trend of low-scoring games (the total under 176.5 points has hit in 9 of their last 10 games), we are betting on total under 176.5 points.No comments
