Betsafe bookmaker picks

Baskonia is starting to play well. TLC is having a career season, and even with Howard out, he may be giving more positives than negatives because there was a complete hole in defense and the offense wasn't functioning. Three wins in a row at home give the Basques a positive vibe. They have beaten Dubai, Efes, and ACB Tenerife. Nothing impressive, but at home the Basques can challenge anyone, as they always have. Diallo is a great player, good at defending and difficult to stop on offense. Kurucas likes to play around, and the most important thing is that Spagnolo is finally showing his worth. Meanwhile, Virtus is, in my opinion, too weak for this game. They have only had one away game this season in Euroleague, against Asvel. They lost to Valencia by 9 points, Paris by 11, Žalgiris by 21, and Bayern by 16. They have no game. And the most important thing in these games is that last week was a double for Virtus, both away and followed by two away games in the Italian league against Trento and Varese. Against Trento, they showed signs of life, but yesterday against Varese, the game was barely won and it looked like they were struggling for survival. Five matches in nine days and all of them away, it's hard to see anything good in that.

The entire front line dropped for Pao, Hernangomez, and they are playing for 30 minutes, so today if they don't gather fouls, they might even play the full 40. There are no high points at all. Balls will definitely drop, and Zvezda, since they are pressing the defenders, and Motiejūnas near the basket, will easily gather points from under the basket.

Traditionally, Rytas statistically always plays better and I think the picture will not change, such a total against the German team is easily achievable, Hornes is absent and Flawers plays for Lietkabelis, so nothing has been found to replace them and they have a reduced rotation. Rytas has a high handicap, but when you play this kind of game, it's risky with those negative points, as sometimes you can get 10 points without response, but I believe that here it will be more confidently about 52 points.

Even though Panathinaikos looks painfully injured, their front line is damaged, but they still have a lot of talent and it wouldn't be fair to write them off in my eyes. Yes, Zvezda looks like a well-organized team and it is hard to beat them at home, but I focus more on the team composition. Individual players can turn the game around at any moment, the start may be difficult for Panathinaikos, even though they have won five times, but looking at how many close matches they have had, there is a risk against a team that is well put together. But again, going back to it, individual players from Panathinaikos can have outstanding performances and good runs, which I believe will save them tomorrow against the red star.

Before morning, Zalgiris did not look good, but I will still try to go for Zalgiris this time, both Valencia and Zalgiris have a good chance, so I am purely supporting the home team. And Valencia's lineup does not look very impressive compared to Zalgiris, with the decreased rotation in Zalgiris due to Francisco's departure, one can hope for the same in this match until Goose, Brazdeikis, and others fully recover after their child's birth. They had a good chance this morning, so the extension of this chance against Valencia is highly likely.

The last remaining center Yurtseven fell for Pao. The team is now left without any centers. Mitoglu will have to run a lot with Juancho, who is not alive anymore. It will all revolve around the little ones, and the horn under the basket. Zvezda is good at pressuring the little ones, it will be difficult for them to play under the basket. It will be challenging to rebound the ball. It is an away game. Pao looks very bad in this stage of the season, while Zvezda is doing great. I can hardly see Pao winning here.
