Baskonia - Zalgiris

Asvel also lost DeColo. The only one who was still doing something in the team. No one is pulling Asvel to the Euroleague level here. Fener has serious problems and a stronger opponent here to try and bounce back. A team that is stronger in every aspect, and home court advantage will only help them in the escape.

ASVEL looks sluggish, and the team is also plagued by injuries, so they shouldn't be trying to play fast basketball when they have much more options in offense. Saras definitely can't be satisfied with Fenes' defense and they are facing an opponent who can really limit them on offense. Against Zalgiris, ASVEL scored 59 points, against Zvezda 65.

Dubai has a 3-game losing streak in the Euroleague, and I believe they will face another tough opponent, Hapoel, before playing against one of the top teams of this season. The super Jewish club not only looks great on paper but also on the court, so I think it is necessary to expect a strong performance from them. With a strong offense and talented players, it seems unlikely that they will lose against Dubai.

The powerful composition of Hapoel, solid gameplay with high-precision defenders, who should only get better. Itoudis is a maximalist, so he will not tolerate any inconsistent teams like Dubai. Dubai is still struggling with injuries, so it is necessary to take them now, as it will be harder later.

Baskonia is starting to play well. TLC is having a career season, and even with Howard out, he may be giving more positives than negatives because there was a complete hole in defense and the offense wasn't functioning. Three wins in a row at home give the Basques a positive vibe. They have beaten Dubai, Efes, and ACB Tenerife. Nothing impressive, but at home the Basques can challenge anyone, as they always have. Diallo is a great player, good at defending and difficult to stop on offense. Kurucas likes to play around, and the most important thing is that Spagnolo is finally showing his worth. Meanwhile, Virtus is, in my opinion, too weak for this game. They have only had one away game this season in Euroleague, against Asvel. They lost to Valencia by 9 points, Paris by 11, Žalgiris by 21, and Bayern by 16. They have no game. And the most important thing in these games is that last week was a double for Virtus, both away and followed by two away games in the Italian league against Trento and Varese. Against Trento, they showed signs of life, but yesterday against Varese, the game was barely won and it looked like they were struggling for survival. Five matches in nine days and all of them away, it's hard to see anything good in that.

Today we are playing with Basque Peru. The Basques have caught a good rhythm and it will be the 4th consecutive home game. They have won three in a row, including two in the Euroleague against Efes and Dubai. They also managed things well over the weekend against Tenerife. However, Virtus has fallen into a slump and has been playing poorly on the road. Let's try to take advantage of that! Good luck!

Baskonia can challenge Virtusas, just like Virtusas can feel very comfortable in this kind of basketball, having a very solid defense line. Virtusas shoots a lot of 3-pointers, while Baskonia's defense at 3-pointers is not very strong. Baskonia still remains one of the fastest teams in Euroleague. Virtusas has already shown a good offense in several games.

Baskonia can really challenge Virtusas, just like Virtusas can feel very comfortable playing in such a basketball game, with a very solid defensive line. Virtusas scores a lot from 3PT shots, while baskai's defense at the 3PT line is not very strong. Baskonia remains one of the fastest teams in the Euroleague. Virtusas has already demonstrated good offense in multiple games. Virtusas has enough weapons to break through baskai's defense, which is still not the strongest.

With a full roster, Baskai without Forrest and Howard. Even though they are on the bench, they may lack talent in the offense, but Dusko's team performs well on defense, having multiple options to stop TLC, while also being strong on offense. With more talent, they should be able to win.
