There are many components in this match. I believe it is a very important aspect, and the same Masiulis who yesterday did not train based on the training photos and today it will only be clear if he will run out on the court, in which case I think the coefficient would be 1.9 max. For Tinchieri, it is becoming more difficult to play against Kaziukas Vilnius, and the way Žalgiris played with Baskonia was not convincing at all, although usually bad matches can give them some anger, but Rytas is still a stronger team, with a better defense line for Žalgiris today, but Žalgiris is more predictable with Francisco's game, and if he is properly covered, the chances of defending the home court in Vilnius would improve. Rytas' newcomer Cartas may not bring as much benefit as Vilnius hopes, but his speed is evident, having played on the court only a couple of times this season, so I would say he will be a superstar in the LKL playoffs. Rytas fights better for the ball, which I believe is the key factor that can give them an advantage over the green team today, not to mention players like Margiris, who has been sitting on the bench the whole season but manages to play well against Žalgiris. Barzdeikis and Smailagic will probably be the leaders for Žalgiris today, so it might be worth watching the total. Rytas currently does not have clear leaders, making them more unpredictable, as different players can show up in each game (Radzo appears to be the only stable player who will likely try his luck at a higher level next season). Enochas, in my opinion, will also dominate the green team, as he only shows his potential in important games. Overall, if Masiulis plays, I would evaluate Rytas' chances at around 60 percent, and if not, the under percentage would be higher, but Žalgiris is not such a frightening opponent at the moment, and the coefficient matches the risk. Good luck.
