Zalgiris Kaunas - Olympiacos

Hello.
Euroleague. Monaco vs Pao. Let's go with Theis over.
Theis plays an average of almost 23 minutes and scores around 12.9 points. Today's opponent is Pao, where their centers are injured. Yurtseven may not be able to play, but he won't be a serious challenger for Theis, and he's not a great defender either. Holmes and Lessort are still out, so I think Spanoulis will make up for that. Theis has only failed to reach this total in 3 games, but he was close (10 points against Virtus, 10 against Valencia, and 9 against Oly). Today is a good opponent to go over, and seeing how Mirotic is not being utilized by Spanoulis, Theis becomes the second offensive option for the team. Good luck.

Olympiacos center Donta Hall, who has fit in perfectly with the new team and, in less than a month, shares the playing time on the court with veteran Milutinov. Today's match will take place in the home arena, and the fans definitely would not understand a second consecutive loss, so I am looking forward to a productive game from Oly.

In a double week, the home factor plays an even more important role than usual. In past seasons in the Euroleague, guest teams often experienced blowouts during double weeks. Olympiacos, with a very strong lineup, home arena, and support, played a major role after their victory against Monaco. Hapoel is solid, but lacks experience in such matches and physicality, which Oly can bring to the table.

Highly potential attacking team, Hapoel arrives in Piraeus. Even with good defenders, I don't think Olympiacos will be able to stop Hapoel's attack. It is also very advantageous that Hapoel themselves are struggling in defense.

The main focus will be on the opponents, and Hapoel needs to offer something on their defense. Sasha doesn't seem to be in top form, while Dorsey has gathered only a few lion's share of throws this season, and there is a lack of creative players, so Vezenkov is often missing. I'm hoping for a calm and smooth performance from him.

Deadly scorer, in the first week I only played 20 minutes, so here I should not lose much. The shot always finds its target, shoots from anywhere, so it will be a real headache for the sluggish team defense

His role on the court is secondary, a hard-working player who runs without the ball and looks for opportunities, but not always do they fall his way because the ball never reaches him. There are Papnikolao, Veze, and Peters, who are veterans and have more trust, so his minutes may decrease.

Baskonia finally won the Euroleague, but we should not expect that this Spanish team will now easily defeat Peru. The first game against Peru is very important, but Efes seems to be a much better team. Although the Turkish club is not very consistent, they have been playing very well lately. I think the odds are good for Efes against Peru.

We need to once again take a common over with the Basques. We were lucky with Dubai that they went over, but the game was not as expected. More precisely, the pace was slow and more favorable for Dubai. We get the same total as with Dubai, but Efes is a faster and more talented team at the moment. They have players like Papagiannis who are more suited for a fast-paced game. If the Basques play at their usual pace, we can expect 180+ points here.

Baskonia finally shines a little. Efes has been a disappointment this season and I don't expect much from them unless they strengthen their team. It's unclear what's happening with Jones, he played only 20 seconds in the previous game. Osmani is running after his injury for more than 30 minutes. Baskonia has picked up Kobi Simmons, who looks quite good. TLC is having a good season so far and doesn't seem to be stopping anyone. Diallo is also playing well. Finally, the Spaniard brings tangible benefits. I think the home court advantage will be a serious factor here, Efes has always been weak away and Baskonia can also make a big statement in their own arena.

Hello.

Euroleague. Baskai against Efes. Let's go with a minimum of 3 points difference. Vaskonija finally won their first match in Euroleague against Dubai, where the team was also in a difficult situation. However, I can't expect to win 2 in a row from them. They are still without Forrest and Howard, which are big losses for the team - they are the main ball handlers. Diallo and Simmons have now become them, but we'll see how much that will benefit them. Efes only has losses under the basket - two centers are injured, but Baskai also can't boast about their abundance in this area, so I don't see a big advantage under the basket.
Efes easily defeated Paris, who had been struggling lately. Before that, losses to Pao or Fenerbahçe in the derby were quite logical, and before these two losses, they also defeated Oly. Overall, the team is very solid and I'm still waiting for them to catch fire. The defenders are super solid, and when Osmani joins them this season, Baskai doesn't seem like a worthy opponent. Even healthy Baskai.
Good luck.
