Crvena zvezda mts - Alba Berlin

Both teams are feeling better now. Efes allows a lot of turnovers, while Baskonia always plays better at home. The defense of both teams is weak. We can expect a fast-paced game with a low total score for these teams.

Both teams are feeling better. Efes gives in to their overseas opponent, while Baskonia always plays better at home. Both teams have strong defenses. A fast-paced game is expected, with a low total score for these teams.

Recently, the basks have not been falling for the black ones, without a good offense, the team is not functioning, the players are focused on offense, what to say about players like Markus Howard. At home, good, fast basketball is played and there is no shortage of productivity and energy. Howard found his place in the Spain league, where he needed such games. Efes plays good basketball, at a good pace, so we can expect more offensive, rather than defensive, games.

I am thinking that for Howard, as it is already destined, after 3 unsuccessful games in a row in Euroleague, such scorers often keep quiet for a long time. In ACB league, they had 38 wins in a weekend, so these games should be a good serious future for them. The opponent, Ghana, is also favorable for points, as Efes does not have elite defense. Out of 18 teams, they have one of the lower rankings and give up an average of 83 points, which is the 7th worst in Euroleague. This will be a good opportunity for Howard to improve his averages.

So far, the Basque (team) has taken all 4 games playing at home. They have put together a pretty good lineup and have already defeated teams of similar strength, like Efes. The Turks themselves also have a lot of weapons, but they do not have their leader Larkin, without whom the team seems to struggle, especially against stronger teams.

Howard performs well, scoring 38 points over the weekend. In the Euroleague, he hasn't shown high numbers yet, despite taking many shots, although his shooting accuracy may have dropped a bit, he still has a lot of potential. If he manages to shoot more accurately today, he should score quite a few points. He could also choose to score some points from penalties.

Unfortunately, Real has had a disappointing season in the Euroleague with a 3-5 record after 8 rounds. So why am I going with a handicap? All of Real's consequences happen away, where they have a 0-5 record, while at home this season they have not lost in either the Euroleague or ACB. In fact, they have beaten Pao, crushed Zvezda, and defeated Partizan. Their opponent, Bologna, may be one of the weaker teams, but they have finally played better games against Maccabi, which means a lot and won't change. Despite Real's record not matching their team's level, they will still find a way to come out on top and their home form and who they play against will show it in these games.

Real needs to step up their attack, because descending into slow or defensive basketball here could give the Italians a fighting chance. The Spanish game works better when playing fast basketball, and all three recent losses have been experienced while playing fairly unproductive games. Virtus does not stand out with solid defense, and does not have particularly strong physical bodies, especially against players of Real’s caliber.

Your height, takes down many balls. If you play normally for minutes, you should take down quite a few balls, both in offense and under your own net. Especially since Virtus does not have a tower like Tavares. Tavares usually maneuvers between 6-9 taken balls. According to preliminary predictions, Real are clear favorites today.
