Anadolu Efes - Panathinaikos

Two attack-oriented teams, who have played against each other twice this season with a similar lineup. Currently, both teams are not in good form and have a streak of 2 losses, but I see this as a positive for betting, because teams usually perform well in attack after a poor game. These types of lineups are quite easy for Peru for these teams, so we will continue to try.

Valencia is an extremely strong team at home, with only two losses this season and the second best home record in the league. Their offensive engine is working perfectly, making it difficult for anyone to defend against their generated numbers. As I suspected, Barcelona is heading downhill towards the end of the season, with Lapro and Shengellia also being dropped. This will make it even harder for the elders to keep up with the fast-paced Valencia youth, and the older trees, Willy and Vesely, won't be able to hold up under the basket.

Although James and Spanoulis are absent due to injury and the loss in France shows there are problems in the Monaco club, this team should not be underestimated. Efes looks very weak this season with very few wins, so in my opinion, Monaco not only can, but must win. In the fight for the playoffs, every step is important for Monaco.

Although Diallo is a volatile player, when Efes lacks good defense, he can rack up those points here, receiving a significant amount of playing minutes. Additionally, James' absence should free up the hands of this basketball player.

Although Ekobo should play, Monaco will be without James and Mirotic. We have already seen struggles on offense against Olympiacos, so we had to make up for it on defense. This seems to be the same scenario for the game against Efes, where the key to winning will be strong defense. Efes is the slowest team in the Euroleague, so the pace should not be too high. If the teams get stuck in a longer period of points, I believe that the total points will no longer be in question.
