Asvel Lyon Villeurbanne - Partizan

Hello.
Euroleague. Efes against Real. We are going with Cordinier over 12.5 points.
Real is not a very good defensive team. Although they have Tavares, but they give up quite a few points both from the perimeter and under the basket. Plus, today they are playing away, and away games have been tough for them this year. Cordinier will play a lot and for a reason. There are many injuries in the team, so they are struggling with positions (they don't have real centers and Larkin is also out from the guards). Cordinier usually plays at the 3 position where he is faster than his opponents and can score a lot of points. He averages almost 29 minutes per game this season, but recently those minutes have increased (over 30 minutes), so he will definitely have opportunities. He will probably be matched up against Hazonja or Abalde, so he will have plenty of opportunities to score. In the last 3 games he has gone over this total, and his average for the season is 11.8 points (Larkin was healthy for most of the season). Good luck.

Maccabi is completely dead in defense this year. They are averaging historically high points allowed, at 95 on average. Maccabi is the top team in three-pointers made, while Žalgiris is the most successful in defending against them. Žalgiris understands that they don't need to go all out on offense, but rather focus on defense, as getting into a high-scoring game against Maccabi could end poorly. The absence of Katasho will not bring any changes to the game, and there is also uncertainty about whether Leaf and Hoard will play, while Dowtin is out. These are all key players for both teams.

Tubelis has adapted perfectly to the Euroleague season and has been playing fantastically in the past 7 games, scoring double-digit points in 6 of them. He is a dangerous player in transition and will definitely be a threat against Maccabi, even if Zalgiris tries to avoid involving him in the game as Maccabi is a high-tempo team that does not defend well. Based on his current form, it would be very strange if Azuolas doesn't play well and doesn't need to hit at least 10 three-pointers.

Simply too high of a coefficient, the start of the season was tragic, but improvement has been seen lately. In the last 5 games, they have hit at least 2 out of 3 three-pointers 3 times. Maccabi defends poorly, they are not a defensive team. 3-point defenders allow too many overs in the entire Euroleague.

Well, I don't know, first of all, it seems a bit difficult. But overall, I like teams like Maccabi, who can always make great shots. There was a close game with Peru, sometimes after a break teams play a bit worse. So, Peru may not be from Maccabi, but I think with a lineup like this, they can be supported.

Hello.
Euroleague. Monaco against Partizan. Moving with Theis 9.5 points over. Paris doesn't have much to put up against Theis under the basket. Plus, they play a very fast and risky style of basketball, where there is a lot of room for mistakes and fast attacks. Theis is not bad there at all. In general, Theis' percentages are very solid - 75.8% two-pointers and 50% 3-pointers. In the last 2 matches, he only played for 15 minutes, but those were complete blowout games for Monaco (+36 points against Efes and +32 points against Asvel). Today they will face a more serious opponent and I believe it will be an over game. Two days ago, these teams met in the French cup and Monaco won by 6 points. Theis played for almost 22 minutes, made all of his shots from the game and two free throws, earning 6 points. Today, I expect a slightly bigger contribution from him and around 25 minutes of play time. In the start of the season, in 6 consecutive games, Theis had such a total points score, so it is likely that he will return to that form. Especially since the opponent is suitable. 11 points is the average for the German in Euroleague, so even if this total is lower, he should reach it. Good luck.
