Khimki M. - Buducnost

Despite playing against high-quality opponents recently, Zalgiris has been struggling to win games according to Goss' performance after his injury. He is a very promising player who excels at distributing the ball, as seen in his 3 most recent games, with 2 of them being in the LKL. Even against Efes, under a new coach, it's necessary to wait and see if any different conclusions can be drawn apart from the fact that the team is currently not performing well, which is a plus for Zalgiris. With only 4 assists compared to previous periods, it seems like a manageable number, so let's see.

In the last three games, Moses did not score any 10 points, and his game quality and playing time have also declined slightly. However, considering the start of the season and the caliber of player he is, I believe today is a great chance for him to bounce back and regain his rhythm at home in front of his own fans. In the first 15 rounds of the Euroleague, he has reached the 10 points mark 11 times.

Birutis had a lot of time before Paris and I believe his confidence will return. Goss's return will greatly improve Birutis as well. Our opponent today is Efes, who only has one center in Poirier, who has recently returned from injury and can pose a threat against the agile Wright, but will likely be quickly substituted. This means that Birutis should receive more minutes on the court. The total score is low, with a couple of rebounds and penalties.

Lost trust in Sirvydžius and lost trust completely. A very bad period. Did not hit anything, only 3 minutes in the previous game. Goss came back and Giedraitis is also returning, so I believe Sirvydžius' playing time will decrease. He will come out, make one shot, if he doesn't score, he won't play for the over, I think, and even for a total of 2 made 3-pointers it's still suitable.

Efes is facing problems once again with injuries and micro-traumas, and it's becoming clear that even Osmani won't be able to help them today. It has been a poor season for the Turks, and even with the changes in coaching staff, it's doubtful that anything will surprise us today. Zalgiris, on the other hand, should be riding a positive psychological wave after their victory against Paris, and the hard-fought battle was much needed. At the moment, Zalgiris has a lot to offer, both in attack and defense, and their home court advantage is an additional factor.

Efes has problems once again with injuries and micro-injuries, and it is now clear that even Osmani will not be able to help Efes today. It's been a poor season for the Turks, and despite the coaching changes that have taken place within the team, it is doubtful that anything will surprise us today. On the other hand, Zalgiris should be riding a positive psychological wave after their game against Paris. We really needed that win and fought hard for it. Currently, Zalgiris has a lot to offer, both in offense and defense, and playing at home is an added advantage.
