Panathinaikos - CSKA Moscow

Another case when two good and very powerful attacking teams meet each other. In this season, Euroleague is very productive and it shows when 9 and 13 teams in the league score an average of 87 and 86 points per game. Zvezda with 6 wins in a row and even the last 5 games were more productive than the given line. Dubai's results are also solid and the games at home and Zvezda's were scored 188 points, so we can expect high scoring from Serbia as well.

After a successful stint in the Izundu game, it doesn't necessarily mean it will continue today. Zvezda, with the return of Bolomboy, has a deep rotation at center and consistently collecting good scores is challenging. Dmo is starting and Bolomboy's minutes will increase over time. Ojeleye is often moved to the 5 position, where his mobility should prove useful against the defenders of Dubai.

Trustworthy bet

I think that Zalgiris should now be thinking not only about the relegation zone, but also about the playoffs. In that case, it is necessary to secure teams like Baskonia, even in away games, in order to have a chance for at least 6 or 7 place in the tournament table. Especially now that Monaco, who is currently falling, is most likely out of the playoffs. It is a good opportunity for Zalgiris to take Monaco's spot on the table, as Baskonia does not have any significant advantage, except for playing at home. Zalgiris is performing well and I believe there are strong arguments for an over here.

Recently in the local league, Sirvydis has been proving that he deserves over minutes and a place in the Euroleague. The Lithuanian shooter seems to be on fire: 13, 10, 13, 20, 12 points in intervals. He creates opportunities for three-pointers in the Euroleague. The Basques are not good defenders, so Masiulis has to give Sirvydis those minutes. Kaunas scored 8 points against the Basques, shooting 2/4 from 3-points. The Basques struggle against defenders, both in points allowed and 3-pointers.

Baskets at home play with a different vibe, and with Howard returning, there will be plenty of options for offense. Baskets throw a lot of tricks, TLC has amazing accuracy, and Galbiati encourages everyone to shoot and run. The Greens will have to adapt and run themselves, and they can do it because almost everyone is in shape and probably Gossas is also back. I'm looking forward to an enjoyable game, in Vitoria he is often present.

After a good break and taking 2 wins, Žalgiris will try to defeat Baskonia, which is not the most talented team and is currently ranked 17th among Euroleague teams.
Comparing the rosters, Žalgiris is much stronger on paper, but in sports, it's not always about the roster - it also takes determination. And Žalgiris definitely has that, as they are a strong candidate to make it to the playoffs this season. Just yesterday, Peru Milano won their match on the direct standings, so Žalgiris cannot afford to lose, even on the road.
Žalgiris has shown that they only need one successful period to beat Baskonia. However, the bookmakers predict a tough battle and give a slight favorite status to Žalgiris.
In my opinion, Žalgiris should win by at least 6 points, with the odds at 1.55.
Žalgiris has a more talented roster, a stronger motivation, and a better defense.
According to almost all Euroleague statistics, Žalgiris has the advantage over Baskonia. For example, Baskonia has a very poor defense, and watching their games, it's clear that they lack coherence and play a messy game.
Baskonia struggles to fight for rebounds and is currently ranked 18th in the Euroleague, while Žalgiris is ranked 4th.
I believe defense and rebounding will be the deciding factors in today's game.

The Kaunas Zalgiris basketball team brings advantage to themselves by playing basketball, but it has to be acknowledged that they lacked both in players who should have good options for offense. At home, that Spanish style basketball, which the Basques simply adore and which brings them results, should dominate. Recently, Zalgiris has improved their offense, but because of their good offense, it seems that there are also quite a few openings in their defense.

Zalgiris this season looks very good in the standings and their playing rating is very good. Baskonia is a fast team that plays wild basketball at home and Masiulis will definitely prepare the team well and take advantage of their defensive mistakes. Gosas should play already today where there is more clarity in the over-under. Zalgiris will have many handicaps to overcome, especially with high points, so they should easily gather points.

Žalgiris has everything in their hands for this match. Not because anything is guaranteed, but because the situation is finally on their side. The team has been looking much stronger lately, and most importantly, they play as a team, not as individual players. This match means a lot for Žalgiris, especially in the context of the tournament table. If Žalgiris doesn't falter in the beginning, they have all the chances to secure the third place in the standings! Beautiful basketball!

In this season, Arnas is demonstrating great form, which is followed by his presence and protection in the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) and occasionally in the Euroleague. As shown by statistics, he has reached the 10-point line in every fourth game, which results in a certain coefficient and value. He will play against Baskonia, whose weak defense line is against the attackers.

PAO still without Nunn, Holmes, who has had stomach issues, is taking breaks with the team. Osman also takes breaks, but he doesn't seem to be 100% healthy. ASVEL is not a poor team when it comes to covering this season's tricks; their numbers are higher than 50%. They are able to stand up against many of the top Euroleague teams at home, but the problem is maintaining stability throughout all the games. PAO continues to struggle without Nunn. ASVEL has managed to handle the proposed handicap at home or play equally in 10 out of 13 games.
