In all four games against the Suns, OKC scored not under 119 points in the first stage, while in three out of six games against Houston, LAL scored over 100 points. OKC also scored not under 119 points in all four regular season games against LAL, so these teams together should collect not under 214 points.
The Arsenal of Manyciai ignited today. The excellent 3-0 victory against Fulham showed a resurgence in attack, with Saka returning and playing well, and overall the Gunners have redeemed themselves after the loss to City and achieved a good result in Madrid despite a controlling game. I believe that Arsenal should dominate at home, as they are a very strong team at home, while Atletico is generally a poor away team according to their standards and even struggled against Peru Nou Campe in the last round when they were down 10 players. I don't think that they will have the same success here and Arsenal will win 2-0.
Translation: The fight for the championship title in Arabia is still tense, with today's victory from Al Hilal, the difference to Al Nassr has reduced to just two points. There are not many matches left, but on May 12th, the title race could potentially be decided when these teams play against each other. However, in order for this to happen, we need a win today and the opponent is manageable. Khaleej has nothing to fight for, they have a strong attack and can enjoy playing soccer. They also have one of the most productive players in the league. On paper, Al Hilal is very strong, and with the addition of Benzema, the team has become even more dangerous in attack. They should dominate with an attacking style of play.
And once again, there is an over between these two teams and everything remains the same as yesterday, with 2 good offenses, two tragic defenses, and good weather conditions for hitters. The difference between yesterday and today is that both teams will play with better pitchers, which reflects on the total for the game. In the Eagles' ranks, the local pitcher has an ERA of 3.60, while in KIA's ranks, the immigrant pitcher has an ERA of 1.64. Yesterday, these teams opened the series with a strong over, with KIA winning 12-7. This is the 6th game between them this season, including 2 friendly games, and all 6 games ended with 11+ totals. Looking at these pitchers, it is very likely that the productivity will increase starting from the 5th or 6th inning, when teams start making changes. The wind is blowing from the stadium, which makes it easier for the hitters and more challenging for the pitchers.
Briefly and clearly, the Lakers have no chance here, it would be a surprise if the series went beyond 5 games, the difference between the teams is huge, whether Luka is here or not doesn't matter, personally I don't think the Slovenian wants to return knowing their competitor and what the Lakers did during the season. 4 meetings this season ended in 4 losses for OKC, the results were 121-92, 119-110, 139-96, and 123-87, you can't call it anything else but a massacre. It's worth applauding how LeBron led the Lakers against the Rockets, but he's a 40-year-old going up against a young and powerful OKC team that can confidently rotate 9 players and the court won't change.
Over (Žaidėjo rezultatyvūs Peru (+OT) Tyler Dorsey (OLY) over 2.5) @2.410 3/10
The coefficient here is great, 3 for Peru from Dorsey, it was enough for him to not be substituted in the first matches in this category and we have a very good offer now. In the first two matches he made 3 assists, one in the first match and two in the second, but his season average is 2.8, so I think it would be logical to stick to the average. I would view the situation of 2.5 assists as 50/50, but here the coefficient of 2.41 gives us an advantage.
Bayern finished their fight in March against the elite of Europe, Barcelona, who demonstrated their true class and equal standing. They played a 1-1 draw at home and were gallantly defeated 4-2 away. The German League has long been won by Ghana, and Bayern's girls have a +15 point lead over 2nd place Wolfsburg with 3 games left to play. The atmosphere within the team should be festive. Hoffenheim still has a small chance to fight for Europe in a miracle scenario, but those chances are very slim. I am looking forward to the goals in these matchups, as it is obvious that these teams love scoring against each other. The last 5 matches ended with 4+ goals, with 4 ending in 5+ goals and 2 ending in 6+ goals.
Monaco was crushed twice by Greece, and now even when everything is fluctuating back to home court, Oly is still the clear favorite and hosts of the situation. With new injuries and weak gameplay, there is no confidence in the team, which once again must be easily defeated, and seeing the advantages of Greece, it is possible to take a risk this time.
In the span of a couple of months, the teams that have met in both the ABA League and the European Cup have easily crossed this given line, whether at home or away, so I believe the playoff series will start with an effective game. The teams have a very good offensive rating and do not try too hard on defense, so I think there will be a lot of points, as always.
Monaco was crushed twice by Greece, and now even when everything turns towards the home arena, Olympiacos are still the clear favorites and hosts. Adding to this are new injuries and weak gameplay, which shows no confidence in the team that is expected to be easily defeated again.
There is no place to back down for Hapoel and they will need a lot from their leader today. He should play a lot of time, and since the team looked tragic in the first two games, he should also take the game on himself. It was clear in the second game that everyone was standing and watching, waiting for Bryant to create something, instead of taking the game into their own hands. A smart player, I believe, understands that today everything will depend on his points and I am expecting a calm game from him.
Theis, Mirotic, and Diallo are all out. There are only seven players left. This could potentially be MJ's final performance and I wouldn't understand if he didn't throw up 20 shots today. MJ's stats in Peru have been frequent, but when there's no one left to play, he should be able to play almost the entire game and rack up points today.
Theis, Mirotic, Diallo are all out. We are left with only seven players. Only two of them are tall, Hayes and Blossomgame. I think Hayes will have over 33 minutes, so it is not a big luxury to score only 8 points.
They had a tough series against the Orlando Magic team, but the Orlando team was one of the best in defense against high opponents throughout the entire season, and they effectively used this strategy against the Cavaliers as well. The Cavaliers are a softer and more offensive-oriented team, so there should be more freedom in the offense, and they should also score more points. The total points for the series against the Magic were reduced. In the last two games against the Cavs: 33/16, 24/14.
They had a tough series against the Orlando Magic team, but the Orlando team was consistently better in defense against taller opponents throughout the season, and this was well utilized in the series against the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are a softer and more offensive-oriented team, so there should be more freedom in attacking, and they should also be able to increase the number of points scored. The total points were lowered due to the series against the Magic.
