Šiauliai - Neptūnas

We are heading towards this day with Eastern excitement, a better team plus a longer time to rest after Europe.

In the morning, Harding doesn't have their full leader, but with Walker returning from injury, he can take on that role as he desires. Rytas appears to be more confident this season, and Wiley's energy is simply captivating even on TV. Lietkabelis has suffered 2 defeats, and their team composition doesn't seem as strong as before, and without Rytas' kryptonite Gagic, I believe Peru should celebrate the Vilnius team and continue their winning streak.

The first half in the morning is always better this season than the second half and often overbets are justified. Yes, losing Harding is very painful, but today he will undergo repeated tests and it will be clear when he can return to the court, although it would be difficult to expect that today, but with Walker back, he can score at the same pace. On the other hand, I don't see a problem if one of them is missing, as they both love to play alone and restrict their teammates, who can also take the game into their own hands. Gudaitis was very underutilized with Legia, he was completely empty in the first half and only showed himself in the fourth quarter when balls were scored. I think the same thing happened with Zibenas for Walker, giving him a little more room to exploit team advantages, rather than taking initiative and throwing one after another. Lietkabelis looks very shaky at the moment, and although they won't lack motivation against Rytas, they have too many gaps in defense with their current defenders, so Rytas will easily activate their offense with quick attacks and will again be close to the 50-point mark.
