Olympiacos - Anadolu Efes

The hottest team in the Euroleague displaying very good defense lately. Of course, Banchi contributed to this, finally a good team where players can use their talents to leverage the coach's knowledge. Turks at home, playing against a very aggressive and stormy team, their main task should once again be defense, as when playing against Jewish basketball, one can experience defeat.

For now, the departure of the Basques is an unsolved mystery, as they lost 11 out of 12 games this year and only won in the Spanish league. Fenerbache is a very solid team, especially at home where they are almost unbeatable. With a double week ahead, it is a problem for the Basques as Fene has a lot of talent and scores a lot of points, so they not only have to win, but do so confidently.

The American's accuracy has been lacking in the last two games, but still managed to score 9 and 8 points. Today, there could be plenty of challenges for Fenes defenders against the Basques, whose defensive line is not known for showing better defense. Throughout the season, the Basques have consistently allowed a lot of points against their opponents.

Although the Basques, even with Laslo, most players are often injured and difficult to predict, with players like Howard, chaos can occur at any time. Of course, the biggest downside is that the Basques are playing away, but the handicap is not 8 points. Fenerbahce had tough matches, so they might feel fatigued as well. This season, the Basques have already proven themselves against Fenerbahce, so I believe they can also stand their ground away from home.

The match is very important for both teams, as both offenses have struggled before. Before facing teams like Real, which run and throw, points can be collected. However, when playing against a team like Zvezda, I think we can expect a lot of fighting and not many points. It's a tough week, so we'll see how the teams perform with a high percentage. Hopefully, there won't be many points scored.

After the withdrawal of Zvezdas' big Bolomboy, Mitrovic's playing time increased from around 10 minutes to around 20 minutes. During those two games, he scored 13 and 17 points respectively. And he also gets a total of 5 points, which is mandatory to take. Plus, against Tavares, he might potentially get some solid rebounds.

The mushroom war for me here, where any team can win, so the coefficient for the Italians suits me. Virtus had a tough schedule, starting with matches against Real and ending with 4 consecutive away games. This is the fifth consecutive away game, but the atmosphere in Germany is overwhelming, especially in Berlin, so I won't underestimate the factor of playing away. Returning Clyburn should improve the game, 5 consecutive losses should be enough to prove to the opponents.

Both teams are at the bottom, but Virtus doesn't seem to be at the Euroleague level at all, they don't play at their full potential. The defense is very poor. Alba will try to close the gap at home, especially since they tend to perform well against strong teams at home. They should get ahead of Alba and Virtus, who struggle with their tempo.

I am looking forward to the PAO Paris race here, a fast basketball match. I believe we will see a stellar performance from Nunno, as that NBA star will be afraid. After a few unproductive games, he started this week with a 26-point performance against Maccabi, so he arrives in good rhythm for this match. Nunn's average this season is 20.2, so I think he will score over 5 points in this game.

Pao has its share of problems and has won lost matches before, but that can only be done through a strong offense. When they arrive in Paris, even with injuries, they can still hope for a lot of points. The line is very big, but their team defense is far from shining even against weak offense teams, so when facing each other, one can expect points.
