Monaco - Virtus Bologna

Maccabi is completely dead in defense this year. They are averaging historically high points allowed, at 95 on average. Maccabi is the top team in three-pointers made, while Žalgiris is the most successful in defending against them. Žalgiris understands that they don't need to go all out on offense, but rather focus on defense, as getting into a high-scoring game against Maccabi could end poorly. The absence of Katasho will not bring any changes to the game, and there is also uncertainty about whether Leaf and Hoard will play, while Dowtin is out. These are all key players for both teams.

Tubelis has adapted perfectly to the Euroleague season and has been playing fantastically in the past 7 games, scoring double-digit points in 6 of them. He is a dangerous player in transition and will definitely be a threat against Maccabi, even if Zalgiris tries to avoid involving him in the game as Maccabi is a high-tempo team that does not defend well. Based on his current form, it would be very strange if Azuolas doesn't play well and doesn't need to hit at least 10 three-pointers.

Simply too high of a coefficient, the start of the season was tragic, but improvement has been seen lately. In the last 5 games, they have hit at least 2 out of 3 three-pointers 3 times. Maccabi defends poorly, they are not a defensive team. 3-point defenders allow too many overs in the entire Euroleague.

Well, I don't know, first of all, it seems a bit difficult. But overall, I like teams like Maccabi, who can always make great shots. There was a close game with Peru, sometimes after a break teams play a bit worse. So, Peru may not be from Maccabi, but I think with a lineup like this, they can be supported.

Hello.
Euroleague. Monaco against Partizan. Moving with Theis 9.5 points over. Paris doesn't have much to put up against Theis under the basket. Plus, they play a very fast and risky style of basketball, where there is a lot of room for mistakes and fast attacks. Theis is not bad there at all. In general, Theis' percentages are very solid - 75.8% two-pointers and 50% 3-pointers. In the last 2 matches, he only played for 15 minutes, but those were complete blowout games for Monaco (+36 points against Efes and +32 points against Asvel). Today they will face a more serious opponent and I believe it will be an over game. Two days ago, these teams met in the French cup and Monaco won by 6 points. Theis played for almost 22 minutes, made all of his shots from the game and two free throws, earning 6 points. Today, I expect a slightly bigger contribution from him and around 25 minutes of play time. In the start of the season, in 6 consecutive games, Theis had such a total points score, so it is likely that he will return to that form. Especially since the opponent is suitable. 11 points is the average for the German in Euroleague, so even if this total is lower, he should reach it. Good luck.

Everything is returning to Israel. The welcome from the fans should be impressive and the atmosphere will be stellar. Hapoel fans are one of the best, and it will be their first time hosting the Euroleague. After such a long break from top-level basketball, everything will be lit up. I believe ASVEL will simply be cannon fodder here, a team of tragedy, who are not at the Euroleague level and realistically only have one Euroleague-level player in DeColo, who is already 40 years old.

The leaders and top players of Euroleague, attacking team Hapoel with an average of 90.7 points, will play against the worst team in the league with the worst attack of 75.8 points. With such a strong attack and the playing style of Asvel team, I believe there will be a significant difference in favor of Hapoel. The team is still playing in Bulgaria, but after playing against Hapoel in multiple matches, they will understand and be able to do what the top players do.

There is no reason to not believe in Fener today here. After the Peru Shar teams always come back only better, having had the necessary training. This season, Oly is not shining, there is a noticeable lack of defenders. A lot depends on the game from Dorsey, who I believe will be shut down today. Fournier is injured, so most likely he will not play. It is also uncertain if Shaq will play. It will be a defensive game with a lot of chances, and in these types of games both sides can win 50/50, but Shar's factor +1% adds something extra.

Hello.
Euroleague. Oly against Fener. We are going with a fener +6.5 points handicap.
Oltp team is still good on paper, but this year they are struggling. Veze is no longer as dangerous as before and more often has off games than good ones (which was not the case before). The defenders are also struggling: Fournier is a complete shadow of himself (and might not even play today due to illness), Shaq is also out, Walkup is good at defense but not as dangerous as he used to be. The only bright spot is Dorsey. His form is really impressive this year. In reality, Dorsey, Milutinov and Vezenkov are carrying the team this season, and as mentioned, the Bulgarian doesn't always perform. There will definitely be a way to attack or suppress them in offense.
Fener, after a slow start, seems to be getting into the rhythm. They have won their last 5 matches and during the national team break they were able to work on training, which should give results. However, Šaras's team is very systematic and the system seems to be working well this season. Yes, it is a team without centers, so it will be difficult with Milutinov under the basket, but at the same time it will be possible to pull him out of there on offense with the shooters (Jantunen, Melli), so I hope Šaras will figure out how to limit Milutinov's minutes on the court. Baldwin and Hall are in good form and there is definitely talent in their backcourt.
I would say it's a 50/50 game and it will definitely be interesting to watch, but getting +6.5 for Fener in these circumstances looks very good. Good luck.

Olympiacos is once again facing a challenge, despite playing at home, as the current hottest Euroleague team is coming to visit them. As usual under Sara's leadership, the team has not been able to avoid a series of losses, but as time goes on, the team's resilience and ability to bounce back from defeats becomes evident. This year, Olympiacos is unpredictable and not easily defeated by their opponents. Sara knows how to play against Bartzokas, and against a team in such fine form, all hopes are on Peru.

Parker was benched, Herbert returned and should make significant changes in Bayern's game. Poor half, but after the break they had two intense training sessions to prepare for a good game. Partizan is experiencing division, fans are preparing bombs for today, it was said that they will attempt to stop the match, but most likely it will be remembered in the Euroleague. However, it is unclear who will train and what to expect from this game, but from the Partizan's dressing room, they are not promised anything good.

The initial coefficient for Partizan was not very promising, but now the coefficients have improved and it is possible to go with Partizan. The home factor, under current circumstances, with changes in the coaching staff and other backstage issues, will definitely benefit the team. The composition may not be the most pleasant, but talent is certainly not lacking. The situation and game of Bayern are not good, so I see no point in going with them. Our offense simply has nothing to offer, the defense is saving us, but essentially, we are playing with outdated tactics, in which case Partizan at home has a better chance.
