We are going with Nembhard points + Assists. This season he is averaging 17 and 6, slightly below his overall total. However, today's game is against a team with one of the worst defenses in the league, ranked 26th, but also Top 10 in "Pace" which not only means they don't defend well, but also play at a fast pace, just like Indiana, who also has a high pace. This should be a high-scoring game and I believe that Indiana's playmaker will have one of his best games of the season, at least statistically.
The Pacers will play against the Kings after a tough schedule. Meanwhile, Sacramento is coming here after a surprise victory against Miami, an amazing performance by LaVine, but also some solid contributions from the bench players. Most likely, the game will be close and neck to neck. However, if the Kings can clean up their mistakes, they definitely have a good chance to take two consecutive wins here.
The Panionios club, which looks tragically and simply terrible, receives a lot of criticism from everyone and always. They were able to defeat Niners at home, but I don't see any chances for them on the road. The Greek team, which plays tragically on the road, is expected to suffer another loss. Although Chemnitz team is not in the best form, their offense-oriented basketball allows to expect a lot of points from the home team, just like a double-digit difference against Peru.
If there is nothing to talk about regarding the Paris team, it is because of their offensive abilities, therefore Portel is the underdog of the league, who allows a lot of points very often. I expect high-paced games, and Portel is also capable of scoring points, so I believe this line should be over.
Lietkabelis does not play as efficiently with new players, but the team has offensive potential, and when playing without pressure, I believe Lietkabelis can shine in offense. In Panevėžys, Lietkabelis won in non-resultful matches, so now we should expect good results, especially since Besiktas averages 92.4 points in the Eurocup. Besiktas' pace and game management lead me to expect points and an over.
Pacers have been heavily affected by injuries and Huffas has recently played a very important role in the team. He often plays for 25+ minutes. In the last 5 games, he has scored a total of 4 times. The Kings have struggled against tall players, both in terms of points and rebounds. With Sabonis out, their defense has slightly improved, but Huffas himself is in good form.
No matter how poorly Liverpool plays, no matter what series of losses they have, but the club's strength and ability to win against anyone influences the coefficient to take it. Inter is not a particularly stable or great team, so I think Liverpool can play successfully and confidently to win.
Tottenham plays well at home, especially when the opponents are weak. The Czech club still resists at home, but when it comes to away games, they crumble. Tottenham has a good team and in the Champions League they play with extra motivation, so Totte, playing productively, has a win with a comfortable margin.
The very unstable team Royal plays in a very unpredictable way. They can win against PSV or Galatasaray away, but then get crushed by Inter or Newcastle. Marseille team looks very strong this season and even though their recent results have not been great, they are far superior to the Belgian club in terms of skills. I think it's a good bet for a stronger team that has a chance to win.
I don't think that Atleti can be considered favorites here, as they are playing at a high level and have a better overall lineup on paper, but this season they have been playing poorly away from home, with only 2 wins on the road the entire season. Even in the more important away games, they have only suffered losses, especially in the "big games". PSV's current form is impressive, with 10 wins in their last 11 matches, including a couple of serious victories against English and Italian champions with a score of 4-1 and 6-2 against Buli and Napoli. I believe it is worth going with PSV's current form.
I believe it would be a sin not to try. The attack of Barca completely picked up speed after the last CL match, scoring 11 goals in 3 matches in La Liga, with 5 of them against Betis without Raphinho and Lewandowski. The opponent is also very favorable for a goal fest, as Frankfurt has conceded a lot this season, also with a 6-0 loss to Leipzig, making their defense seem quite tragic when looking at both the CL and Bundesliga, where they have already let in 43 goals in 18 matches. Of course, I don't think Barca will be the only ones scoring in this match, as Frankfurt also has a decent attacking line and should create their own chances, especially considering that Barca hasn't been defending well this season, with only 4 clean sheets (3 of them before September). This means that they will probably concede 1-2 goals themselves.
