After Bolambojus fell, Petriukas is once again a clear and consistent center, and we have a very talented team that could cause trouble for Pao's centers because no one is known for their good defense. Today, the game against Zvezda is important, so I believe they will fight until the end, and Petriukas will play a lot.
Betsafe gives 21.5 which is logical, but what logic is giving 24.5 here I don't know. You probably expect that after a record contract, the player will play in cosmic games, but I don't see a reason for him to struggle and risk getting injured. It would be logical for Ataman to protect him before important battles. Zvezda has the best defense against opponents' defenders in Euroleague.
To secure the advantage of home and to plunder here is not necessary. Everyone is already preparing for the playoffs and teams like Ataman usually come completely unprepared. Zvezda, if they lose these matches, will remain in 10th place, but if they win, they can even rise to 6th place, but most likely between 7th and 8th place. It is important to strive and fight for a lot, because the 6th place guarantees playoffs, while 7th and 8th only have two matches and 10th place only has one away, which reduces the chances to a minimum of reaching the playoffs. I regret not being able to bet on a slightly higher coefficient, but it is still good, and it should increase even more before the start of the matches.
These games do not change anything for Panathinaikos and it could be an opportunity to enjoy basketball without a major focus on defense. Greeks tend to take risks in home games on offense and often run, while this season Zvezda has a considerable number of options on offense, a solid defensive line, and also foreign players. The total score does not seem high.

Zvezda's Euroleague season might bring some changes to the game, so we can expect a fierce battle.
Barcelona visa season is having ups and downs in their games and there is definitely no team that shows stable gameplay + a team that has problems with injuries. Virtusas' competition is not affected by anything, they will be relaxed + the team caught good form, their injured players have returned.
