Juventus is fighting for the 4th place in the regular season, so every game is crucial for them. The 4-game losing streak should motivate them to confidently defeat the worst team in the LKL. Mažeikiai are already ending their season and have given up their leaders, and have joined Čizauskas (who is not fit for any LKL team) and Baltrušaitis from Sūduva. Everyone is talking about it and the results show that the team simply wants to finish the season, even though there is some talent in the team that can score points. However, with such a weak defense, Mažeikiai are losing by large margins. In mid-February, Juventus won by 20 points at home, but now that the situation is even worse for Mažeikiai, I think we can expect an even bigger margin. Juventus has Šaulys who must finally have a successful game, and I believe other players will also be motivated to improve their stats. Mažeikiai have lost their last 6 games by a margin of 19 or more points, and when they play away, they lose by even larger margins.

Perhaps one of the most interesting matches in today's French league for second place will be fought by many teams and 3 will earn a spot in the CL tournament. Nice will be climbing on their heels to Monaco and there is definitely a high risk with over, but I believe that early goals will set off and lead to certain moments when teams will take risks and want to equalize the score. Personally, I think it will be a 2:2 score, so this over doesn't scare me overall. Monaco plays very well at home, although Nice has always been a tough opponent for them and has won in the last two matches. But this time, I don't expect an easy match and those points will be important for both teams. If someone manages to take 3 points, they could be crucial considering the standings.

Both teams have had a break, so it will be interesting to see if it will throw them off balance. However, it should be a very exciting evening.

Yes, Nevėžis is basically riding high and inspiring a lot of people, they have found their Peru, who can do whatever they want in this team while playing more than 30 minutes, from logo throws, countless unprepared throws, etc. Petrauskas, for another season, is pulling out decent foreigners with his team who can perhaps make things more interesting, but it is very difficult for them to handle coming to Jonava, and knowing Šernius, who is schematically better-prepared coach, I think both Cable and other higher-level clubs will be interested in his services in the future. I won't talk for too long, in my opinion, Šernius has prepared his players perfectly for the game against Nevėžis, as they heavily rely on two players who can pull them out even when they are in deep trouble with their throws, while Jonava is more versatile and has strengthened their team, so the equal odds were probably strange.

In finals, there are often surprises. Sabalenka tends to get stressed in finals. This year, she had three finals: she lost 1-2 in Indian Wells, also lost 1-2 in the Australian Open final, and won 2-1 in Brisbane. In October, she reached the final in Wuhan and won 2-1. Four consecutive finals with three sets, now she is facing a local tennis player who played three out of five matches in Miami in three sets. It is unclear how much energy is left, but I believe she will give her all to have a chance in this tournament. Sabalenka has never won the Miami Open, so she will have motivation, but I believe she will still win at least one set. And this kind of total also has a chance to come through in two sets.

FINALS AND FINAL MATCHES ARE OFTEN NERVE-WRACKING. SABALENKA OFTEN GETS STRESSED OUT IN THE FINALS. THIS YEAR SHE HAD 3 FINALS: LOST 1-2 IN INDIAN WELLS, ALSO LOST 1-2 IN THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN FINAL, BUT WON 2-1 IN BRISBANE. STILL IN OCTOBER, A FINAL IN WUHAN WHERE SHE WON 2-1. 4 CONSECUTIVE FINALS WITH 3 SETS, NOW SHE FACES A LOCAL TENNIS PLAYER WHO HAS PLAYED 3 SETS IN FIVE MATCHES IN MIAMI. HER STRENGTH IS UNCLEAR, BUT I THINK SHE WILL GIVE HER ALL TO HAVE A CHANCE IN HER TOURNAMENT. SABALENKA HAS NEVER WON THE MIAMI OPEN, SO SHE WILL HAVE MOTIVATION, BUT I BELIEVE SHE WILL ALSO STRUGGLE IN AT LEAST ONE SET.

I am trying to get moving in this match with KAT points over and hitting 3PT over. As we know, the Knicks without their offensive leader Brunson and Towns here get significantly more control of their offense. Although the points total does not exceed what is given today, the averages should be higher without Brunson, so the points total given above the average should not be intimidating. Moreover, the opponent is favorable today. Bucks defend poorly against the opposing front line and give up quite a lot of points. These teams have already met a couple of times this season and in those matches, KAT scored, if memory serves, 32 and 30 points. In one of these matches, he hit the over and 3PTs. In one he hit 2, in the other - 4. Today Antetokounmpo is GTD, so even if he doesn't play, KAT should have plenty of freedom to go over.

One of the worst teams of this season in the Portuguese league, Estrella, currently ranks 15th out of 18 teams, and they are set to face the leaders, Sporting, at home. Sporting, who haven't played in the Champions League for a long time and are now fully focused on it, are once again showing excellent results. Despite having many troubles with injuries, Sporting has managed to leave them in the past and, although they still don't have all their players available, Gyokeres is back, which is already a huge boost. However, due to suspensions, Sporting will be missing some key players and it won't be an easy match. But any other result than a win for the leaders would be hard to believe. Sporting currently has the same amount of points as Benfica, so an intense end of the season is expected, with many matches against strong opponents. In their previous encounters with Estrella, Sporting has won 11 out of the last 11 matches, including 4 away wins. Estrella is only playing in the top league for the second season in a row, and their goal is simply to avoid relegation, so realistically it is impossible for them to compete against Sporting. In their last 6 matches, Sporting has won by a margin of 2 or more goals, so a handicap bet seems like a good option.

Only LKL remains for tomorrow and even though the mood is not the best, the opponent is weak and tragic in defense. Siauliai have already played a great game against Wolves, so it's hard to expect something similar against Rytas. I believe that the space basketball will allow Rytas to shine, and players like PJC Cole and others will perform well. We have high hopes for them.

After the withdrawal of Zvezdas' big Bolomboy, Mitrovic's playing time increased from around 10 minutes to around 20 minutes. During those two games, he scored 13 and 17 points respectively. And he also gets a total of 5 points, which is mandatory to take. Plus, against Tavares, he might potentially get some solid rebounds.

Palanga seems to have a fairly good composition on paper, but on the court it is difficult, especially when playing one match after another. Against Vytis, the home team played well, relying on their experience, but the visiting team was stronger and more experienced, defeating Palanga by 34 points. In my opinion, the most challenging opponents for Palanga are Telšiai, but they may not be a match for them in this stage, as Palanga has won all four matches against them. In this format, Telšiai is the better team.

Even though there were many difficult situations for the Atletico club before Peru, Peru was a great time to return to the court and dominate. The Madrid club looks very confident this season with only periodic minor setbacks, so after Peru, they should be back to competing excellently.

Porto is a strong team, that not only has a significant advantage, but also performs well at home with a good coefficient. They are known for their good home performance and have recently defeated the Braga club at home. With a winning streak of 6 at home against teams like Arouca, who appear to be weak away, it is worth considering them. Braga has been underestimated this season and their performance has been inconsistent. However, they tend to dominate against weaker teams like Arouca, especially when playing at home.

In Europe, having a difficult time, but Bologna has caught super form once again and is currently in fourth place, and is once again on track to play in the Champions League. Bologna, who performs very well even on away matches, I believe is much stronger than Venezia, who is currently in 19th place. Although Venezia has not lost against Italian giants until now, it cannot continue for long with such strength, while Bologna looks super, so I believe they will not be defeated and will win.

This season, Espanyol is a very solid home team, despite being only 1 point away from the relegation zone. They have an impressive home record of 8 wins and their last loss was in October against their own fans. Since then, they have gone on an 8-game streak without a loss, including a draw against Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. Atletico is going through a tough period, having been eliminated from the Champions League and suffering a loss at home in the La Liga title race against Barcelona. I expect a close game here and wouldn't be surprised if Espanyol gets a result against Atletico.

Although Spirit does not show any signs of improvement in their game, NaVi looks even worse. It's not clear what they were trying to do against EF by not picking Mirage as their map, maybe they wanted to test their Dust2, but it looked tragically. Even though I would like to see NaVi-Vitality semifinal, I cannot ignore Spirit with such coefficient. The coefficient is worth the risk.

Although G2 won an important match against TheMongolz, I don't believe there will be a breakthrough and we will see G2 consistently winning against TOP 10 teams. Meanwhile, MOUZ looks very solid, having beaten Spirit twice and putting up a good fight against Vitality in the group stage, and now has a good chance to reach another tournament final. MOUZ will be playing without their main coach, but I believe this won't hinder them from reaching Peru. A 2-0 result wouldn't be surprising, but I'm leaning towards the rounds being minus.

City Peru needs to secure their spot in the Top 4 and this is a great opportunity to capture calm games. Leicester is tragic, the coach does not make any changes even though they not only fail to achieve positive results, but are also consistently beaten by practically everyone. At home, the City team has scored over 3 goals per game (29 in 9) in the past 2025, so I expect a score of 4-0 here.

At the moment, Vitality is undeniably a better team and everything depends solely on them. If there is no lack of motivation, it is possible that another title will be won. The main reason why I choose this bet is because I believe that in Group A, Vitality and Spirit will take the first two places, meaning that the teams will not meet until the final. In the semifinals, they would meet if one of them were to finish third in Group A. Even if they were to meet in the semifinals, the odds for Vitality would not be given.
