In good form, Thompson plays for 27 minutes this season, scores 11 points, but today I have no doubts he will be allowed to attack Shorts with his height and provoke his flaws. Thompson is a very fast and athletic player, so he should feel comfortable playing in a hurricane-like basketball.
My featured player, whose minutes are growing little by little when connected to teams. He has a lot of rebounds, is very aggressive under the basket, so he can gather balls and repeat attacks. He scored 6 points against OLY, but during the period, he almost never misses a shot from under the basket. Milan's frontline looks comfortable enough for this Africa.
When Blatt falls, the whole team should also fall on Rokas' shoulders. Blatt collects an average of 9 points per game in the Euroleague, so when he falls, those points should be distributed among the others. Rokas used to gather a lot of points with Blatt, and without him, those numbers have dropped. The team also gained a couple of good players, which should make it comfortable for Rokas to gather points.
In the first round, B8 played against Team Spirit and it was just Peru, while Aurora played against Eternal Fire and performed quite well, so I think emotionally B8 may have cracked, therefore I choose Aurora Peru.
Lullas gets to play his minutes, while his opponent whom he can also get over in the evening. During the playing minutes, he gets a lot of combinations for shots, often taking the initiative himself. When the attack time reaches its end, Lullas becomes the main option to finish it off. His accuracy has been lacking lately, but he would make very good shots.
Challenger Montemar, Spain, clay... Both singles players are newcomers, especially Ukraine and the local player, who are driven by sporting interest and occasionally register in this genre. Generally, these top players are given priority, but they should not be dismissed at this level. However.. having experienced local fauna representative David V.H. (30yrs.), paired with a Dutch player (28yrs.), are professional doubles players with considerable experience in tournaments, and have also achieved high-level Challenger awards. In general, today should determine experience, local interest, motivation (losing to a younger compatriot - a sign of bad tone).
Rivero is still not here. Today I think I will have plenty of time to defend against Nebo, who gets many throws and can also make a three-pointer. The only downside to betting is that they tend to quickly accumulate fouls, resulting in a shorter game time.
The main star player, Teodosic and Nedovic, are the key players. Dobric is out. He was projected as one of the team leaders and is starting to show better results. He often receives open 3-pointers due to the risks taken. I am looking forward to a productive game.
Kurtinaitis and Pačesas are talking about putting pressure on the opponents and strong defense. Macedonia does not have their main leaders in the offense, and knowing how strong Lithuania's defense is, I hope for very few points from the Macedonians. Also, Lithuania's offense is not shining through these windows, so I think we can expect a total under or even purely focus on the Macedonian under.
Zvezda not only has the number of Partizan, but is also a more solid team this season. They have won all 7 matches against Partizan this year, of course it helps that almost all of them were played at home. Zvezda has not shown as impressive form as in the beginning of the season, but overall, there were many good performances even in defeats, except for the last game against Asvel. Partizan is currently tragically lost in 6 consecutive games, and last week they even lost both matches at home, including against Milano. In short, I believe that Zvezda's solid team and home court advantage will handle the guests here.
In the Euroleague regular season, Kaunas Žalgiris will defeat Alba, Asvel, and Paris clubs (2024-2025 season) at home. This is a very interesting offer. Last season, Žalgiris was defeated by the bottom teams and lacked consistency. This season, the team has been put together well and it is a must-win to compete for a top 10 spot against these teams at home. All three teams will most likely share the final three places in the standings. The lineup for all three teams looks weak, with ASVEL possibly being slightly better, but they also have many issues.
Schedule:
Žalgiris - ASVEL 2024-12-20
Žalgiris - Alba 2025-02-04
Žalgiris - Paris 2025-03-13
But the German league has a long-term offer. Betting on Dortmund to win the league excluding the Bayern team is a good option. After the previous season, there are questions about how Bayer will perform, as often after a great season, teams struggle. The bet is not bad, especially because Bayern is not included. Dortmund is the second-best team in the league and has shown good results since 2018/2019, even finishing 2nd place 4 times. With such odds, I believe it is worth a try.
