BC Dubai - Zalgiris Kaunas

The Oly game so far is not convincing, in the last matches at home, both against Hapoel and Partizan, they managed to reach a draw, but for a long time they were trailing behind. Their defense is not bad, but there is nothing impressive about their offense. That's why I think even if they win, it will be a close game, and Zalgiris continues to play great without Goss. After receiving the award, Francisco did not play well, but that is normal and I believe he will have another excellent performance against Oly.

Žalgiris did not allow 80 points in 4 consecutive games. Virtus and Asvel only scored 70 points. Valencia's offensive team only scored 77 points, while Barca scored only 73 points at home. Overall, Žalgiris' game starts with their defense. They are the second lowest scoring team in the Euroleague, only behind Olympiacos, whom Žalgiris leads by 34 points after 9 rounds. Olympiacos' offense has been struggling this season, with Vezenkov often having to create plays himself instead of waiting for the ball and shooting, which makes his game more difficult. The defense is not functioning well and they heavily rely on Dorsey's 3-pointers. In their last 2 games, Olympiacos only scored 80 and 62 points against teams that have poor defense - Partizan and Hapoel. Against Partizan, they only had 53 points after 3 periods. I don't think it will be easy for Olympiacos to break through Žalgiris' defense, and even if they manage to win, it will be because of their own defense, not offense.

Hello.
Euroleague. Oly against Žalgiris. We are taking Žalgiris with a plus handicap. Žalgiris is in amazing form so far, but now they will probably face their toughest opponent yet, Oly. However, I think there will be a good fight here. Žalgiris' team seems to be one of the strongest in terms of preparation. The opponents are analyzed, weak points are punished and their own weaknesses are well covered, tactically always prepared for different opponents. The view is definitely wow and while Žalgiris looks like this, we should try to at least get the plus (which is being given with a good amount).
On the other hand, Oly doesn't seem unbeatable. Fournier is struggling and even Vezenkov doesn't look like an MVP player anymore. Milutinov and Dorsey look really good, but Žalgiris has what it takes to stop them. Evans is also returning, but the question is whether he will be of use or harm to Oly after returning from such a long break to the Euroleague. Oly's form is also not very convincing. They had a tough game against both Partizan and Hapoel (both teams were worn down already in the final stage of the game), lost to Monaco and Efes at home, barely won against Maccabi and only managed to beat Bayern confidently out of their last 6 matches.
It won't be easy for Oly to win, we have seen that they are vulnerable at home and Žalgiris has what it takes to stop the leaders (especially now with Giedraitis joining Butkevičius, who is returning from an injury). It's possible for Žalgiris to not lose by more than 7 points, or maybe even win, who knows? 😁 Good luck.

In my eyes, this is such a total Tubelis game in Peru, only if he could throw out and hit at least one three-pointer. It will be one of the toughest challenges in the Euroleague for the oak, as well as for all the high players of Zalgiris. The atmosphere will also have an impact. Olympiacos is one of the top teams in terms of points conceded to high players. A good example is the game against Serbia before Red Star Belgrade: 14 minutes - 1 point.

It seems that these will be unproductive games and everything will be decided at the very end. Žalgiris and Olympiacos are both underperforming teams so far this season. Vezenkov and Milutinov are the main players for Olympiacos, and if they have slightly worse games, Oly always struggles. Fournier is not functioning well. No one on the team can hit a 3PT shot except for Dorsey, on whom the team relies too much even though he is unstable. Despite this, he has had a great season so far, but eventually it will level out and fall. If it comes down to the last 5 minutes, anyone can win, and the odds are favorable, especially this season when Žalgiris has looked like the better team so far.

Olympiacos starting center, who was not included in the lineup before this game against Karditsu, in order to fully recover their strength. This season, he has already reached the 13 rebound line twice, at home against Hapoel and away against Baskonia, at about every 4-5 games.

The starting center for Olympiacos, who was not included in the lineup for the previous game against Karditsa in order to fully recover his strength. In this season, he has reached the 10th position in the rebounding ranking line-up every second game.

Hello.
Euroleague. Bayern vs Barcelona. Let's go with Rathan-Mayes 8.5 points under.
He doesn't seem like the main point guard. After Jokubaitis suffered an injury, he was given more responsibility, but he doesn't handle it very well. Without his shooting spurts, the picture is very disappointing. In the last match against Paris, he was silent the whole game and then suddenly made 5 3-pointers. It rallied the team and they won because of him, but those 3-pointers were more of a result of emotions and it's not likely he will have such accuracy again. Another thing is that Dinwiddie is getting more involved and that will cut down XRM's minutes. His season average of 8 points makes even a higher total line seem illogical to me. Yes, Barcelona is not a great defensive team, but Xavier is not the top scorer, especially this season. 8.5 points seems a bit too high of a line to me. Good luck.

Not only did Nebo return to the lineup, but Milan also lost Diop, so today they will have to spend a double week without LeDay, resulting in fewer options on the court, and our focus is on Booker. He is a versatile forward who can score from any position. He had a very passive game against Efes, but today their opponent is ASVEL, one of the worst teams at defending against tall players.

Andreas Obst gets quite a few minutes. Most often he plays around 20 minutes, but sometimes it's close to 30 minutes like in the last couple of matches. He makes quite a lot of shots. Barcelona should pay closer attention to him, as a result, he can lose the ball to his teammates, who could successfully finish their attacks. However, Barcelona has players who can defend well. It's unclear what approach they will have in these matches. Obst is not a very involved player in Peru, but if he is well guarded, someone else will have to distribute those balls. And three productive points are not many, knowing that the player spends a lot of time on the court. Overseas, he has scored 4 successful points this season.

Tornike plays a considerable amount of minutes. On average, he spends about 22 minutes on the court. In this season, he has already scored 8 points in one game. Last week, he scored 7 points against Real. The player has a good court vision and is able to pass the ball well to his teammates. Today, if he doesn't try to do too much on his own, he can at least score 5 points, knowing that there are good shooters on his team.

Shields rested over the weekend, as there was no local tournament. He often either doesn't participate in local tournaments or plays very little, focusing more on the Euroleague. In the Euroleague, Shields plays about 25 minutes. There are overs and unders. This season in the Euroleague, Shields played 22 minutes per game. And that is enough time to score points. Today's opponent is relatively easy. It shouldn't be difficult for Peru to score. Plus, Lyon, the opponent, has given up quite a few points to their opponents this season. Today should be no exception. Shields has had 7 overs this season, scoring points in the Euroleague. Today, the conditions are good for him to score at least 5 points.
