struggle with injuries and foul problems

The teams have to pay attention to weaknesses and restrictions, because both Bavaria and Ulm have long -term injuries. At Bayern, Carsen Edwards, Elias Harris and Oscar da Silva are missing, while Ulm has to do without Tommy Klepeisz and Isaiah Roby. In the last game, Bayern players Devin Booker and Johannes Voigtmann had to deal with foul problems, which significantly affected their minutes of play. Ulms Marcio Santos, on the other hand, showed an outstanding performance and could be crucial to put Bavaria under further pressure. In the second game, Bayern also struggled with their target accuracy and landed at only 32.2% hit rate - the worst performance of the season.

In this final series, Karim Jallow from Ulm, a former Bayern player, could also be considered as a potential MVP of the finals if its shape continues.
