Pianese's draw seems very logical, with similar team strengths, and a cautious game with a low number of goals could result in a draw.

It seems a bit too much of a total, the talent that the attacking teams have, but Atlanta has the second best defense ranking in the league and they can definitely take advantage of it, as their defense appears to be their handicap when fighting against Peru and playing away. The H2H also shows that despite the last match, the teams play tougher and less scoring basketball. This could greatly impact the game and the fight for the first place in the conference.

It seems like a bit of a total mismatch, as the talents of the team lie in their offense, but Atlanta has the second best defense ranking in the league and they can definitely take advantage of that, as defense appears to be their competitive edge in the battle against Peru and on the road. Despite the recent match, H2H also shows that the teams play tougher and less scoring basketball. This could greatly influence the outcome of the game and the fight for first place in the conference. In my opinion, Atlanta has a few tricks up their sleeve and can seek revenge for their previous loss, even on the road.

Even with the new coach Pacevičius, Rytas does not change its game philosophy, which is based on the team's offense. In this season, the Vilnius club, with a larger budget, has invited not only one solid and individually strong player, but also friendly game results show that the team will be playing at a pace of 100 points in each game. In the start of the intercontinental cup, Rytas will be able to warm up against Africa Tigers team, which also likes to play offensively. Like every year, Africa team always brings in strong American players, which are difficult to stop. Both teams have a similar style of play and although Rytas is superior in terms of skill, both teams are expected to score a lot of points, and this game will be intense.

I think that tomorrow will still be a bit of a struggle for the Bullets due to their tragic defense, having lost by 113 and 129 points in friendly matches. The losses were strong, so it seems like the game will be fast-paced without much emphasis on defense. The guests may not have been very impressive, but their opponents seemed to be more serious and it's not easy to attack them. They will face a similar level opponent and should be able to gather both points without much difficulty. The Breakers have already started their season with a tragic result of 176 points against their opponents, but their pace was good and I hope to see the same here.

Even, it is difficult to imagine how Žalgiris could lose to Zvezda team even in an away game. It rarely happens, but on paper, Kaunas team is significantly better and the chances for Žalgiris seem much higher. However, Kaunas club still needs to play well and use their advantages better, but the team has played a lot of friendly games and will also have some period breaks in the LKL league when the Serbian club will not have official games. Zvezda, who looked very weak in friendly matches, appears to be even weaker now, especially knowing that Lithuania has had many successful games against this Serbian club in the past. Therefore, I believe that Žalgiris will be even more determined and this should lead to a great start in the Euroleague. Last season, Žalgiris started with 3 victories, so we can expect a good start this season as well, considering that Kaunas has often shown their advantage by winning 7 out of the last 8 games.

The Lithuanian national team has assembled a very serious lineup for this national team window, with Gineitis, Kučys, Širvys, and other players who have been performing well at reputable clubs recently showing that our country knows how to play football. In the Nations League Group D, the Lithuanian national team will have every chance to demonstrate their high level of skill, with the first match against the underdog team of Liechtenstein, which must be won, and with such a lineup, a successful result with a period of goals handicaps can be expected. Tragic defense and a similar offense are the main characteristics of the Liechtenstein national team, and realistically, all European national teams have easily handled them, so this can also be expected from Lithuania, which is capable of playing successful football.

Prediction that Edwards, Carsen will score over points in the Euroleague season compared to Brown, Sterling (total sum of all games).

CARSEN EDWARDS has been chosen as Francisco's substitute and with knowledge of this player's game, it can be expected that he will be the main offensive option, also needing to finish attacks. Experienced EDWARDS in Euroleague offense gathers higher numbers than his competitor STERLING BROWN, so his chances of being more effective are significantly higher. In friendly games we saw the abilities of both players, but as in the friendly game cycle CARSEN EDWARDS collected over points, so in the most important preparation game against another Euroleague team Paris, CARSEN EDWARDS was the leader and scored 17 points, while STERLING BROWN only 5.
