Reggio Emilia - Rytas

Although Nymburk should not be underestimated, this time there is a very risky bet that has minimal value. In the morning, the home team is hard to beat, even though they do not have a strong defense, but being on American hills, they can easily play 10 point intervals, just like they can easily let in points. I think there will be several factors that will determine the outcome of this match.

First of all, Nymburk has a hole in their front, highly dependent on 3-point shots. I believe Rytas will break through early in the game and then with limited chances, they will have the opportunity to secure a victory. Also, after a long break, there will be a BCL record, which should give Rytas a boost emotionally, and without Nymburk hitting many 3-pointers, the situation will be much easier for Rytas' front line to dominate. Harding and Caroline are likely to join the game after a good rest and I don't expect much from them, but having a deeper rotation will ease the pressure for others, as coach Žibėnas can easily rotate his players and maintain sufficient energy.

All in all, the risk is huge, but I believe there will be moments when a strong run will occur and Rytas will escape with a significant lead.

AEK home team welcomes Bodolonos team in the Champions League. As usual, the weakened Juventut, who is not performing well away, does not seem like they can win the first game, especially when the AEK team is far from inferior to the Spanish club in terms of composition. Having already lost at home to Greece, AEK feels that they are preparing very well for these games, and playing in Greece is particularly difficult.

Ambiguous Harden's form. Has not played since the last CL. Should bounce back, but it's unclear what will happen, he could float in space.
Meanwhile, Ignas unexpectedly scored 43 points against Kabelis, and also 20+ against Gargzdai. Average of last 3 games is around 25 pts.
His form is good, I'm expecting a lot of shots and dunks.
He should get over 25 minutes. Good luck.

Zibenas puts a lot of effort on Masiulis, will also play today. Impressed with his last game against Gala, 25 minutes with 25 points. Today, we'll need more than just his contribution. Minutes will be plentiful. The last few games of LKL were not that effective, but if you add up the last 3 matches, the average of 15 points is still achieved. Gytis is not afraid of tough games and plays better than just simple runs in LKL. The total is ridiculous.
