Zalgiris Kaunas - Rytas

Although Rytas is now rotating much higher due to Echodas' emergence, as Gudaitis is significantly more efficient in short intervals, I still think that a player like that is worth trying against Neptunas' weak defense. However, he doesn't really have anyone to put up against him physically, so I believe that he will also be fouled a lot, hoping that he won't make many mistakes or turnovers. Overall, I think he is worth trying for an over.

Although Neptunas is playing at home on wings, I still believe that Rytas is in better shape lately. It seems that they are picking up the pace bit by bit, although they don't underestimate Neptunas completely, their playing form is very good, I would even say it's in their favor, since they have a game every other day, which helps them to maintain a good rhythm. I think this rhythm will stay the same until BCL games. Tonight's game will be very important for both teams in terms of 2nd place, so there won't be any holding back. As I mentioned before, Rytas needed a third rotation due to injuries and they are using Gudaitis quite efficiently, who has become much more effective when playing shorter amounts of time. Also, now Paliukėnas and Sargiūnas will be there, and they can focus on defending both the Latvian and Velička, although they probably won't be able to completely shut them down, but I believe the focus will be on at least one of them in today's game, and when they depend on two players, I think they can cover the minus handicap. I predict Rytas with +10 points in their favor.
