One weak team against another and the only difference between these teams is the 5-0 series of Oldenburg. As the series ended, so have the losses, but Academics is capable of playing, so when the teams have similar strength, I believe the home handicap is important. Now the German club is left without Europe and I think it will be more serious to look at Germany, where I believe they will celebrate their rare victory.

When it's not going well in the Euroleague, you need to strike back somewhere. In the ABA league, it's clear that Partizan plays differently and the main lineup is important, and we also need to see how all the players play under Penarroya. Igokea looks decent on the standings, but when they play in Europe, they seem weak and should be easily defeated by a focused Partizan team.

Leaders against underdogs. Hapoel Israel almost lost to the French club, but now the situation is different. The regular season is coming to an end and every win is crucial, especially in order to maintain the first place. Just like Hapoel found a better form again, Lyon has been losing recently. It's clear that it won't be easy for France to play, but I believe that Hapoel will prepare accordingly and win by a double-digit margin.

The Romanian League returns with a test for BTS Agres against Steaua. The guests this season have been playing mostly high-scoring matches, with a total of 31 goals scored and 26 conceded after 21 games. Their away record is 20 goals scored and 18 conceded in 11 games, with an average of 3.5 goals per game. However, I believe the hosts can contribute as well, as Agres have a strong offense and have scored an average of 1.29 goals per game (27 in 21 matches). Additionally, they have scored at least 7 goals in 10 home games.

Sixeriai received a blow from Cavs the day before yesterday, so it is only natural to expect a response here. The Cavs team has not been stable the entire season and overall, after taking into consideration both teams, they are practically equal. It is also worth mentioning that Garlando will not be playing for the Cavs tonight, despite recently showing good form and making a big contribution against the Sixers on Wednesday. On the Sixers side, there are no serious injuries, with both Embiid and George listed as probable. However, it is highly unlikely that they will not play.

The total given is slightly lower than Melo's average, with 20 points and almost 8 assists per game, and the opponent is one that Melo should definitely play well against tonight. The Lakers team is not known for strong defense, although it has improved recently, so I believe this player should have many opportunities to score, especially in Luke pick and roll situations, where he played excellently in last season's meeting with the Lakers. Furthermore, this game is being played in LaMelo's home turf, where he has a great track record of averaging around 25 points and 8 assists per game against the Lakers in his 4 previous visits. Looking at his game logs of 27 points and 6 assists, 23 points and 8 assists, 25 points and 11 assists, and 26 points and 7 assists in those matches, it is clear that he always gets fired up when playing the Lakers.

I hope for a rematch from the Spanish side. At the end of December, in a friendly match, the Frenchman won, but in this match between the two players, Fokina seems like a clear favorite. The Spanish player, who plays very well in the game, seems to be getting even better, while the Frenchman appears to be standing still. Both players did not face serious resistance in this tournament, but overall, the mastery is greater in the hands of the Spanish player, who I believe will also have the win.

In this season, the Sporting team looks absolutely fantastic, playing excellently both in offense and defense. 47 goals scored in 17 league matches and even 27 goals scored in 8 home matches looks amazing, not to mention that the team has only allowed 9 goals against them this season. They will face the league's underdog Casa Pia, who are just one step away from the relegation zone and have a -15 goal difference. The two teams have only met 9 times and Sporting has won every single time, with the last four matches resulting in a win by 2 or more goals. Braga and Porto both beat Pia 4-0 at home, and this year started with a 3-1 loss for Pia away against Rio Ave, so the handicap looks very favorable for Sporting.

After catching better form, Atalanta club should extend their good streak against the bottom team Pisa. The underdogs Pisa sometimes do not lose against lower-level teams, but when it comes to playing against top teams, they consistently lose, regardless of whether they play at home or away. For Atalanta, this is a great opportunity to take revenge for their first match of the season, where they played a 1-1 draw with Pisa, even though Atalanta dominated the game. Atalanta has been showing strong performance and solid results since last year, making them a clear choice in this match between the two teams.

At the moment, Werder team has lost 6 consecutive matches and the arriving Eintracht club should continue this difficult phase for the Bremen team. In this Bundesliga season, Eintracht team looks very good and has only lost 4 times, including against Bayern at home and Bayer and Leipzig away. On the other hand, Werder, who has only won 4 times this season, does not seem to be in good shape and the solid Eintracht club should not lose to them.
