Netherlands, cup. It is clear that all the attention is on Eredivisie representatives Heracles, who are experiencing a renaissance after firing their coach a month ago. The team had a 4-game winning streak and a 6-game unbeaten streak until they were stopped by league leaders PSV last weekend, although they did so with great difficulty, with a final score of 4-3. Despite a tragic start to the season in terms of offense, Heracles have managed to defeat 3 league giants from Eindhoven away. Their form is excellent and tonight, 4th league Hoogeveen does not seem like a rival who can stop them. If their attacking efficiency continues, the hosts may well handle such a total by themselves, although their defense has not yet been solid in this good streak, as they have not managed to keep a clean sheet. The opponents may also add something to the mix.

Barca under the new coach started playing a better stretch and has a series of three games in Peru which they will try to extend in Paris. Our opponent was just seen as having a powerful offense and a heavily perforated defense. I believe Xavi Pascual, with his experience, can really refine Paris' team play and not get involved in a "throw and run" match. Therefore, if they can control the pace, Barca is significantly superior to their opponents.

Netherlands Cup, 1/16 stage. Here we have a bet on the Eredivisie leaders NEC, who unexpectedly sit in 4th place and it's mainly due to their very effective offense, which was implemented by the new coach, long known as a big supporter of attacking football. There is no doubt that NEC will also go on the attack against the 3rd league team from the very beginning, and I don't expect major rotations, as for these "smaller" clubs, the cup is very important and they don't spare any effort even in the earlier stages. As for AFC, their defense looks very weak this season, even against teams of their own level, as they haven't been able to keep a clean sheet in about 10 matches, and their offense is what saves them from time to time. I think they can expect at least a goal, as NEC gives these chances to everyone, as they did in the previous stage against another 3rd league team, scoring three times but still being eliminated due to defense (3-2). I think this could be a realistic scenario again today, where everything will be decided by the game at the opponent's goal.

Swiss League, the League Champions are going on a trip to Luzern and I am expecting an over here. This season, Luzern club has played 3rd in terms of performance, scoring 63 goals in just 17 games, averaging almost 4 goals per game. However, they have also conceded a lot, with a goal difference of 17:15 in 8 home games, making it an average of 4 goals per game. Basel team is not known for playing high-scoring games, but they are quite stable at home. However, in away games they tend to concede quite a bit, with 13 goals conceded and scored in 9 games. I believe there will be goals in this match and I expect both teams to score at least 2+ goals.

Singapore, Premier League 2. Reserve team league, which is also productive as the main one. Albirex is currently the clear leader, easily winning most matches and only losing 2 points in 8 games. They consistently defeat their opponents and even scored a total of 2 goals in one match against Peru, which is not surprising. Today, Geylang is one of the underdogs and their defense is weak, as they have not managed to keep a clean sheet in 8 rounds. However, their offense is not bad and they are one of the few teams that have scored against Albirex in the first match, which ended with a 1-4 score. I expect a similar outcome today, at least in terms of goals.

NBA Cup Final, New York and Spurs are facing a potentially classic game. I am cheering for the Knicks. Despite the fact that the Spurs have defeated the Champions and have shown signs of growth during the Wembley period, I believe it will be difficult for this young team to overcome the tension of the Finals. It is common for the NBA to experience heartbreaking losses before winning a championship, and I do not see this trend changing, as both veteran teams have won the Finals in previous years - the Lakers against the Pacers and the Bucks against OKC. I think it is now New York's time to win something as a team with playoff experience and previous heartbreaks. I do not believe that Wembley will have the same impact as against OKC, as just remembering +20 in the first 7 minutes is impressive, but it still seems that his minutes should be limited in the Finals, from 20 to 32-35 or more seems unrealistic. The Knicks are in good form now, all the players are playing well and their offense is firing on all cylinders, I believe they will win the cup.

Let's try the Punter higher points version. The fact that there will be fast and high-scoring games here, at least for Barca, I believe there will be no problems at all with Paris. Paris is known for their high-scoring basketball, usually bringing in all of their top scorers, but now they have fallen to the bottom of the table, which says it all. The Punter points average has dropped this season, but in 2 out of the last 3 games, he scored 24 points and showed good form, especially when Oly also scored the same 24 points last week. A scorer like him should feel comfortable against Paris, like a fish in water, so why not score 20 again.

Swiss League, bottom accepts the leaders, I'm going with Over. Winterthur is a pityingly struggling team, having conceded 46 goals in just 17 matches, almost 3 goals on average, and while playing at home, they are not much better, able to score an average of 13 goals in 8 matches, which is still a decent score. Thun also scores quite a bit, with an average of almost 2 goals per league, and overall, I think it's more than realistic for them to score at least 3 goals, and the hosts should also be able to score a goal here, as Thun is not known for their sturdy defense.

Euroleague, I am going to Dubai to see Maccabi play, with Bertans scoring 9 points or more. It is expected to be a high-scoring game, but overall, Bertans averages around 8.8 points per game, although he has been on a poor streak lately. I believe it is time for him to step up, as if he fails to do so against Maccabi, I don't know what will happen. Playing against Maccabi, it is possible for Dubai to have a fast-paced game, as Maccabi is known for their quick style of play. Bertans would be advantageous in this situation, as he is good at making transition shots and is a skilled player overall. I think we can try to score some points regardless of our form.

The important match for Denver, and the main role is predicted for the rested Jokic. This season he averages 29.5 points. With Gordon out of the lineup, Jokic has to take on more shots offensively. Last November, these teams have already met, and then the Nuggets won 109:112 and Jokic scored 34 points.

Even though the Nuggets will have to struggle without Gordon and Brown, I believe that skill and motivation will not be lacking to break that unlucky four-game losing streak at home. Nuggets are first in the league for shooting accuracy and have MVP caliber Jokic.

Although both Peruvian tennis players' form should be similar, the clear favorite for the encounter is the Spaniard. This year, on all three surfaces (hard, clay, and grass), Landaluce, who has won against each other, lost only one set to the Norwegian in three matches. Although their last meetings this season were about a month and a half ago, the Norwegian is coming off a weak performance in three ATP tournaments. Even though the Spaniard is listed as the favorite, the odds and the Spaniard's handicap against the Norwegian should be successful.

I don't believe that Barcelona will remain the underdogs here, they are probably one of the hottest teams in Euroleague right now and are currently in the top 3. Under the new coach, Barcelona has made a strong recovery and no longer looks like the weak team we were used to seeing after Saras left. Now, the team not only stands out for its offensive talent, but their defense also looks fantastic, which was not expected from them. The trip to Paris, where they will face an unusual opponent who plays an exciting type of basketball, may not be easy, but they are still one of the weaker teams in the league. After a good start to the season, the team has lost 8 of their last 9 Euroleague games. I think that if Barcelona can at least slow down their opponent's offense, they can easily beat Paris. The only possible downside is if they become complacent against weaker opponents after playing against Zvezda and Oly, but even then, the odds are still favorable. By the way, Barcelona's away record this season is 5-3, which shows that no matter where they play, the results are still good.
