BC Khimki - Valencia Basket

One of the best teams from Dubai is playing against one of the strongest teams in the league, who are even considered favorites. Dubai's 12 league team is ranked high in points, but their home results greatly increase up to 91.2 points per game and 4th place in the league based on this indicator. Olympiacos plays a points-based basketball this season and even such a lineup is often easy to beat in this team's games. Oly is the 4th league team in terms of points earned away, with an average of 88.7 points. So the Greek team played very unproductively, but now everything must be different in Dubai.

Although Olympiacos is one of the best away teams this season, they only have 7 wins and 5 losses. Their home advantage is significant in the Euroleague. At home, Dubas has a record of 8 wins and 3 losses, with defeats against Virtus and Maccabi, but those were just coincidences. With Musa and Kabengele back on the team, it will be difficult for Oly today. The 3 coefficient for the home team in the Euroleague has great value.

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.

The total just seems too low, even though Efes is the slowest team in terms of pace in the Euroleague, their defensive rating is poor and is close to teams like Paris or ASVEL. They have good individual players and a mobile enough lineup to play a faster basketball. Valencia has an over/under of 167, which seems quite low due to their playing style. In Spain, the two teams combined for 176 points.

No matter how well Valencia can surf the waves, but Efes are so weak that even in the Turkish league, they are unbeatable. The club, currently in last place in the Euroleague, can't do anything good even with Laso's arrival, and when solid Valencia arrives, Peru must be taken away by the Spaniards.

Cordinier will definitely miss the game, Beaubois is unclear, Loyd is likely to return, but here he is not a threat to Dozier in my eyes. Absolutely tragic performance against Fenerbahce 2/12 shots, 1/8 two-pointers. Today, the opponent is comfortable again, playing fast basketball, focused on offense. He will get minutes again, and the desire to rehabilitate after the match with Fenerbahce will definitely not last long.

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.
