The grass has been green since the beginning and the pace has been set. Dubai is not afraid, the players are focused on attacking, so they will take aim. Both teams have strong defenders, so not many points are expected. There is a huge confidence at home, which does not allow for a slow start, everyone is looking at the table and is fired up.
Monika has had the opportunity to play against Paris three times and has managed to win the double-double every time. So far, this event has a 100% success rate, with a coefficient of 7+. As is well known, Paris is a team that is highly focused on attack, so there should be no delay in receiving the ball.
Another fast and effective match between basketball teams promoting the game. The 200 point mark was surpassed by Italy within 40 minutes, so we can expect high scores from Spain as well. Even on an off day, these teams are capable of reaching such a level, so I don't expect anything different.
Having earned a high trust from the coach, this player is getting playing time of over 30 minutes due to his defensive abilities. Today I was expecting points from him as Bacon will not be playing for the team, and according to statistics, his absence increases Anderson's shot attempts. Yesterday, the odds for this event were 4.75, but today they have dropped to 4.2.
Dubai is oriented towards attack, and against such aggressive teams, Žalgiris also gathers high numbers in offense. For both teams, such a line in Peru is a regular day in the office, and even in Dubai, the teams have thrown significantly over the line. The game will be the same in Kaunas, so we can expect a lot of points.
In the previous match in Dubai, Tubelis had a very successful performance, scoring 22 points in 25 minutes. Today I expect something similar, especially if Moses does not score points due to Kabengele's defense, then Azuolas should have an easy time facing Petrusev. In this season, Tubelis has reached this line in every seventh match, and the given coefficient is almost 50% higher than it should be.
In the previous game in Dubai, Tubelis had a successful performance, scoring 22 points in 25 minutes. This achievement was possible because Moses did not succeed in defending against Kabengele, who did not score any points. In the last game, Wright only scored 10 points in 20 minutes. Azuolas himself has reached 26 points in the Euroleague, playing at home against Monaco. Another notable moment in Dubai is that they are one of the top 3 teams with the worst defense against opponents, which also contributes to their success.
It is likely that the fight for first place will continue, but Olympiacos securing a draw would not allow Real to secure a direct ticket to the knockout stage. Considering that the Spaniards are still facing a double away match against Fene, Oly may try to overtake them and knock them out. This is a crucial game and Olympiacos currently seems to have a better team, especially when playing at home. Real's away performance has been tragic this season, so I don't think sudden changes can be expected.
The upcoming match is very important for both teams, as if Fene loses their lead and maintains first place, the situation will become complicated because a couple of losses can significantly change the situation. Playing against Hapoel can help Fene secure a direct ticket to the playoffs. Neither of the teams is known for their fast pace, although they have strong offenses, their defenses can sometimes suffer. For Fene, it is clear that their basketball is not working well lately and they need to improve on defense. The coaches are expecting a tactical battle and I don't expect a fast-paced game from either team in this double week.
Morning (team) does not know how to play slowly and is not a defensive team, so their status in the elimination stage does not hold much significance. Of course, no one is protected from low-quality basketball, even at a fast pace, but after the game, I do not know if there is a place for Vilnius to play worse. Both teams currently seem to be of a very low level, but the pace has not slowed down, they just missed shots and made mistakes in fast attacks. Nymburk is also an offensive team, with the Czech Republic's results being very high-scoring, and most of their players are also strong offensive players.
When the rotation in the Gorzow team shortened due to Mikulašikova's injury and they received one win in the away game in Poznan, there was a belief that there can be a serious fight here. With such odds at home, it is possible to try for the victory.
Melli is back and he's a game changer in the Fenerbahce team, everyone is talking about him. His rating for Euroleague defense is top-notch. He ran for 20 minutes in the local championship, his feet warmed up. The court is neutral, Hapoel doesn't have any strong home advantage, their defense is completely weak, no one can handle anyone, they play as they please. It's not difficult to play against such a team for someone like Sarunas.
