ChatGPT prediction for Anadolu Efes vs Paris Basketball, 07 January 2026.
This is a true six-point swing match with both clubs sitting 6-13 and playoff hopes fading. Anadolu Efes arrive in clear crisis after three straight EuroLeague losses and no home wins in over six weeks, and Shane Larkin's absence after groin surgery has forced awkward rotations and disrupted their tempo.
Tactically Efes still defends the paint and rebounds well, but their home offense is anaemic (77.3ppg) and three-point accuracy (35.3%) is only middling. Paris, by contrast, averages 90.44 points on the road and has the offensive firepower to exploit Efes' spacing issues.
Bookmakers peg Efes as favorites at 1.45 while Paris is listed at 2.85. Given form, injury and the big offensive split, Paris Basketball looks like the value play for an upset in Istanbul.

Gemini prediction for Anadolu Efes vs Paris Basketball, 07 January 2026.
Anadolu Efes, typically a powerhouse, is reeling, dropping three straight EuroLeague games and without a home win in over six weeks. This "crisis mode" is exacerbated by the crucial absence of Shane Larkin following groin surgery, deeply affecting their rhythm.
Despite their earlier 90-80 win in Paris, the current landscape heavily favors an upset. While Efes is a 1.45 favorite, Paris Basketball at 2.85 presents compelling value. Paris averages a robust 90.44 points on the road, significantly outscoring Efes's home output of 77.3 points. Efes's 3-point shooting struggles (12th in accuracy) could be exploited by Paris's offensive firepower. Given Efes's deep slump and Larkin's impact, Paris has a strong chance to capitalize on this "must-win" matchup for both sides.

Claude prediction for Anadolu Efes vs Paris Basketball, 07 January 2026.
Anadolu Efes finds itself in a precarious position, having dropped three straight EuroLeague games and struggling at home for over six weeks. The absence of Shane Larkin due to groin surgery has severely disrupted their offensive flow, forcing lineup adjustments that haven't yielded positive results.
Despite their struggles, Efes has a solid defensive presence in the paint and good rebounding numbers. However, their three-point shooting (ranking just 12th at 35.3%) remains a significant weakness that Paris Basketball could exploit.
Paris Basketball has shown remarkable offensive potency on the road, averaging 90.44 points compared to Efes's mere 77.3 at home. This scoring discrepancy is concerning for the hosts.
While Efes did secure a 90-80 victory in their previous meeting in Paris, their current form suggests a different outcome is likely. With both teams locked at 6-13 records, Paris Basketball's road scoring prowess gives them the edge at 2.85 odds, making them the value bet in this crucial playoff positioning battle.

Grok prediction for Anadolu Efes vs Paris Basketball, 07 January 2026.
In the heart of the EuroLeague's lower standings skirmish, Anadolu Efes hosts Paris Basketball on January 7, 2026, both teams scrambling at 6-13 records. Efes is reeling from three straight losses and no home wins in over six weeks, turning this into a desperate must-win against a direct rival. The absence of star guard Shane Larkin due to groin surgery has thrown their rhythm into disarray, forcing reliance on untested rotations.
Yet, Efes holds a crucial edge from their earlier 90-80 road win in Paris, showcasing their ability to contain this opponent. While their three-point shooting lags at 35.3% (12th in the league), their stout paint defense and rebounding could neutralize Paris's road offense, which averages a potent 90.44 points away. Paris, though resilient on the road, faces a hostile Istanbul crowd and Efes's motivation to halt the slide.
With Efes at 1.45 and Paris at 2.85, the value leans home. Expect Efes to grind out a gritty victory, leveraging familiarity and home desperation to edge ahead in this playoff push.

DeepSeek prediction for Anadolu Efes vs Paris Basketball, 07 January 2026.
Anadolu Efes is mired in a desperate slump, with three consecutive losses and no home EuroLeague win in six weeks, compounded by Shane Larkin's absence. At 1.45, they're heavily favored, but this overlooks Paris Basketball's offensive explosiveness on the road, averaging 90.44 points.
With both teams at 6-13 in a direct playoff fight, Paris's scoring edge and Efes's three-point shooting vulnerability (35.3%) make the 2.85 odds on the visitors a compelling value bet for an upset.

Qwen prediction for Anadolu Efes vs Paris Basketball, 07 January 2026.
Anadolu Efes enters this Euroleague clash in a precarious position, having lost three straight games and struggling to secure home victories recently. Their desperation is palpable as they fight for playoff positioning against Paris Basketball, who share the same 6-13 record. Despite Efes’s head-to-head edge from their earlier 90-80 win in Paris, the absence of Shane Larkin due to injury looms large. Larkin's creativity and scoring have been sorely missed, leaving Efes overly reliant on inconsistent shooters who rank just 12th in three-point accuracy at 35.3%.
Paris Basketball arrives with an intriguing tactical advantage. They’ve shown impressive offensive resilience on the road, averaging 90.44 points per game compared to Efes’s modest 77.3 points at home. This firepower could exploit Efes’s shaky perimeter defense. Moreover, the visitors' ability to stay competitive in tight games suggests they won’t be intimidated by the hostile environment.
The odds reflect Efes’s status as favorites, listed at 1.45, while Paris sits at 2.85. However, given Efes’s ongoing struggles and Paris’s demonstrated road strength, there’s value in backing the underdog here. With both teams locked in a must-win scenario, Paris’s balanced attack and confidence make them a compelling pick despite playing away from home.
