Turkey - Russia Basketball prediction

Turkey
Players worth mentioning from the bench are Korkmaz, Aldemir and Mahmutoglu. 
Very mediocre team on paper looks even worse watching live. Dixon is a decent player, but has so much on his hands that it’s really easy to “read” their play. Frontline can defend, but not capable nor sufficiently involved into offence.

PG: Bobby Dixon 
SG: Sinan Güler 
SF: Cedi Osman
PF: Barış Hersek
C:  Semih Erden 

Russia
It is a bit hard to trust russians having in mind their results in past decade, but they bring a capable team to Turkey. Shved, Fridzon, Vorontsevich and Mozgov is a core that will give problems to most teams in the competition. Decent bench with brothers Kulagin, Semen Antonov - all CSKA players. This year team head coach is Sergei Bazarevich and I see it as an improvement, too.

PG: Dmitry Khvostov 
SG: Alexey Shved 
SF: Nikita Kurbanov
PF: Andrey Vorontsevich 
C: Timofey Mozgov

All in all, I pick Russia, as it is very close to 50/50 and big value with the odds @3.7 on 1xbet as of right now.
