Zalgiris - Panathinaikos

The total just seems too low, even though Efes is the slowest team in terms of pace in the Euroleague, their defensive rating is poor and is close to teams like Paris or ASVEL. They have good individual players and a mobile enough lineup to play a faster basketball. Valencia has an over/under of 167, which seems quite low due to their playing style. In Spain, the two teams combined for 176 points.

No matter how well Valencia can surf the waves, but Efes are so weak that even in the Turkish league, they are unbeatable. The club, currently in last place in the Euroleague, can't do anything good even with Laso's arrival, and when solid Valencia arrives, Peru must be taken away by the Spaniards.

Cordinier will definitely miss the game, Beaubois is unclear, Loyd is likely to return, but here he is not a threat to Dozier in my eyes. Absolutely tragic performance against Fenerbahce 2/12 shots, 1/8 two-pointers. Today, the opponent is comfortable again, playing fast basketball, focused on offense. He will get minutes again, and the desire to rehabilitate after the match with Fenerbahce will definitely not last long.

The Turkish team's combination of attackers made Dozier a threat. Overall, he is a hard-working player who excels in both offense and defense, as well as in getting rebounds. Against Valencia's playing style and rebounds, one can expect a high-scoring game and quick attacks from him. He also gets a lot of minutes, so the odds seem somewhat illogical.

Monaco has been in good form, but the curve is steep. The team is running out of money, and the owner is being removed. There are no players, the same ones are running for the entire game. I think there will be a decline for Mike James. Goss is returning and I think this will be a favorable team for Žalgiris this season. Hayes won't be there, so Theis will have to play 30 minutes. I believe it will be a sure win for Peru today.

All were already tired of the green defense, so it's time for solutions. All defensive players have recovered and left, so they'll have to show their worth. Monaco itself is able to defend and switch positions well, as they also like to slow down the pace and take breaks, preparing long attacks. A very probable ugly game.

After the defeat against Baskonia. Zalgiris is returning home to play in front of their supporters. Monaco's form is falling, it is difficult for them to play in both tournaments because they also struggle in the French league. The coach constantly says that they lack players and Mike James, their biggest star, has to play a lot of minutes without rest.
Zalgiris plays well at home, and if they have a favorable game against Monaco, they will easily take the victory.
The team is complete, William Goss is also back on the court today, Rubstavicius suffered a weekend injury, but he doesn't get many minutes in the Euroleague anyway.
Let's go with green and white and let's hope for a win, good luck.

In this season, Jaron has reached this line in every third game (8 out of 25). Looking at the teams against which he scored double-digit point totals, these are the ones with weak interior defense and it is easy to get the ball under the basket, including Zalgiris.

Not many people expect Moses to be upset here when Monaco is missing two centers, but I do not expect that. Monaco is dynamic, constantly changing, and their offense is very aggressive, which will make it difficult for exhausted Moses to defend. There should be quite a few lost opportunities for smaller lineups.

Maccabi is one of the top teams in the Euroleague, playing at a strong pace. They rank third in pace in the Euroleague, with a good offensive rating and the second worst defensive rating. Partizan's team is a complete mess, but they still have talent to attack with. Pokusevski returned to the lineup, rookie Radanov made his debut. Perhaps Washington will be ready. In short, two of the worst defenses, but with something to offer on offense.

Hapoel does not convince me completely with Micic as the leader after Bryant's departure. The team is falling down as I expected in the second half of the season. There was more hype here than a serious team that will compete for the title. Itoudis is not a good coach, it's obvious and there are murmurs from within. It could be the last week for the coach. Zvezda is getting back on track, Butler is playing well, and Bolomboy has returned. The team is well coordinated and plays well, especially at home.
