B2B should not be allowed for Embiid, so here Maxey has complete freedom to make plays. George is suspended. When some of them didn't play for a while, Maxey just went off and often scored 30+. He does a lot with his shots, last 5 games he made: 23, 24, 25, 28, 15 attempts. Warriors defend poorly against defenders, both in allowing points and 3PTs. They should really step up here.
The Total ReKonix team raised the stakes a little when during the first period of their games, they each had an average of 70 kills. Looking at their statistics, they often ended their games in their region with less than 50 kills, but Liquid can also play tactically. It wouldn't be surprising if Liquid easily defeated Peru here, so I'm just going with the idea that the total points have risen too much because of the first few games.
Saras has already implemented a significant amount of automation in his tactics, everything is organized, playing from the defense, identifying the opponent's leaders, and the large spears of the fenery are a nightmare for the opponents. In the Barca pit, but especially the creative Xavi knows how to control and climb out of such pits. Control will require a drop in tempo. Both coaches are good friends and it seems that they always measure their tricks in their meetings, which determines a slow pace.
The Turkish team's combination of attackers made Dozier a threat. Overall, he is a hard-working player who excels in both offense and defense, as well as in getting rebounds. Against Valencia's playing style and rebounds, one can expect a high-scoring game and quick attacks from him. He also gets a lot of minutes, so the odds seem somewhat illogical.
They should have an even match, so Bacon should play almost without substitutions. Moses returned, one of the top scorers, but his form doesn't inspire confidence. With Bacon, all he needs is the desire and he can score without much difficulty, no matter what defense is applied. I am expecting a lot of initiative against such opponents, provoked by fouls, and 20 points could be limitless.
After the defeat against Baskonia. Zalgiris is returning home to play in front of their supporters. Monaco's form is falling, it is difficult for them to play in both tournaments because they also struggle in the French league. The coach constantly says that they lack players and Mike James, their biggest star, has to play a lot of minutes without rest.
Zalgiris plays well at home, and if they have a favorable game against Monaco, they will easily take the victory.
The team is complete, William Goss is also back on the court today, Rubstavicius suffered a weekend injury, but he doesn't get many minutes in the Euroleague anyway.
Let's go with green and white and let's hope for a win, good luck.
What the morning is capable of is being able to focus on the most important battles. This is how team LKL plays tragically, but Rytas knows how to play when they are not the favorites. Le Mans is also a very unstable team, and when the match is based on a normal attack, it is normal for Rytas to have a lot of chances to win, and when that coefficient is worth taking.
I believe that Trento is a stronger team and it is obvious, and the teams come into these matches in different forms. Trento has beaten solid opponents 4 times, and Niners suffered a convincing defeat in their last game against Hamburg. The Germans have been inconsistent, but after their loss in Italy, I am expecting a revenge from Trento, especially since they have the confidence to do so, and the coefficient is worth taking.
Without the injured Edwards (whether he plays or not, he won't be in optimal form), Virtus looks different. This is how the Italians demonstrate their ability to play well and surprise the Monaco team, but Lyon is not as weak as they may seem. Lately, the French rarely lose by large margins, and the Virtus team will feel the absence or presence of Edwards after his injury. France won by 7 points against Virtus, but I believe this will be a tough battle and Asvel should not lose strongly in this match.
Stuttgart, defending their title and performing exceptionally well in all championships, must continue. The average team from Kiel in the second league does not seem like a serious opponent, especially as we can expect the main Stuttgart lineup in this stage, as we fight for a spot in the semi-finals.
Cristian Jaqueline, a local 27-year-old Romanian, has had an impressive start to the season and is already among the top tennis players. With a tournament at home and strong support from Romanian fans, she has no doubt she will perform well. Stefanini Lucrezia is not a strong contender, lacking power and serves, she is a lower-ranked player from Italy, struggling in the tournament and already playing her third match while it will be Jaqueline's first. As in her previous tournament in Cluj-Napoca, Italy, a couple of months ago, she suffered a knee injury during a match with Arango and ended up forfeiting the match in the second set. Since then, she has not been able to keep up with fast-paced games.
Tenerife is currently the slowest team in the Champions League tournament, with Gran Canaria not far behind. This season, Gran Canaria is heavily focused on their defense and often has games with scores that were rarely seen before the modern era of basketball. They have the best defensive ranking in the tournament. However, it is concerning that Tenerife has a better offense and their defense may not be as strong as it seems. But considering it is the playoffs and the importance of the games is immense, it is a scary thought.
The decisive match, in which I am expecting goals. In the first game, Arsenal won 2-3 against Chelsea, so we should expect goals in this match too. Even one of these two teams can surpass the over/under line, especially since Arsenal has gone over this line in 6 out of their last 7 matches. Chelsea also plays an attacking football, as seen in their last 3 matches.
