BC Dubai - Paris

Hapoel is looking great this year, they are the leaders of the league with a record of 9-3, and only 1 loss at home for the entire season. They will be facing Real Madrid, who have been struggling this season and have not been playing well, especially when away from their home court. Their previous game against Zalgiris was not convincing and required the intervention of referees. Real has only managed 1 victory away from home this Euroleague season, so I believe it will be very difficult for them to offer any competition against the strong Hapoel team in their current state.

The actual strength is heavily depleted and even though they have more than one serious basketball player, their team looks weak even at home. Now they are talking about going away and currently they are worse than Euroleague teams. The real strength lies in their offense, but when it comes to playing against the most productive team in the league, they are unable to keep up in offense. Hapeol looks very good and strong and they must take advantage of the Real team's fluctuations and weaknesses.

Two solid attacking teams meet, Žalgiris 6th in terms of average points earned in the EuroLeague with 87.5, and Baskai 7th with 87.1 points per game. The match should be high scoring, as this season Žalgiris plays a offense-oriented basketball and Baskai are also capable of playing at a fast pace with high points, even away from home. A total of 170 points might be scored, and there could even be an over in this game.

Let's try to go with Lo points, a few over more than the given total. I'm playing this half of the season with Lo and already earning double-digit points. However, this upcoming match after two very poor performances is a chance for him to play better, taking into account his experience and abilities on the court. The opponent is also favorable, as the Baskai team has struggled against Peruvian players throughout the season and no PG/SG has managed to score against them. I believe Lo should be able to get some minutes, we just have to make our shots count.

Žalgiris will not lose with their attack here. Although Baskai seem completely lifeless on the road this season, it is always difficult to play against such lifeless teams for Žalgiris. Baskai have always been an attacking team, but every year there are few points collected in matches here, where no one can score and I don't see any reasons why it should be different now, because you can never expect good things from the favorite Žalgiris.

Hello. Euroleague. Hapoel against Real. We're going with Hapoel Peru. Real looks really bad on the road. They have only won one Euroleague game this year and it was against Barcelona in El Clasico. Real is a complete mess on defense and it often costs them games. Campazzo has adapted somewhat since the beginning of the season, but the system still isn't working under Scariolo. Hezonja is in the shadows, Maledon sometimes shines, but other times looks really bad, Tavares seems to be getting into form, but he's not as dominant as before, Deck is playing a lot, but isn't his usual self. Lyles looks promising as a newcomer, but Okeke is completely out of form in the Euroleague. On paper, the team looks good, but as a unit, it's not working. And as I mentioned before, their away form is tragic. They lose to everyone and certainly not just top teams... Hapoel looks very solid. They are in first place in the Euroleague and deservedly so. On paper, they also have a strong team, but they are also playing well on the court. Micic doesn't look like a French player, but Bryant is playing like a star. Players like Blakney and Malcolm are also contributing a lot. Oturu is in amazing form, and it seems like Motley is slowly getting into it as well. They have everything they need. Their home form is really good - they have only lost once, and even though it's not the same atmosphere as Israel, fans still come out more for their games than for Maccabi games. The odds are really good and I think they will drop, so we should grab them. Good luck.

The coefficient looks very high against the EuroLeague leaders, as the game takes place in the Botevgrad arena, which will be the first time Hapeol plays at home, as all matches will be played in other arenas. The away team seems better offensively, as Real struggles with everyone. Statistically, Real doesn't stand a chance against one win in 6 league games. Since it is difficult to see any advantages for Real, and the coefficient for Hapeol is so high, I think it is necessary to choose the latter team.

Hello.
Euroleague. Žalgiris against Baskonia. Let's go with Luwawu-Cabarrot 15.5 points over.
Howard won't be there again and it shouldn't even be Forrest. So once again the ball will be in the hands of the Frenchman for the overs. He's playing out of this world this year. His average is 19.8 points and he scored at least 16 points in all Euroleague games. Without Butkevičius, it will be easier for him to earn his own points. In general, without him, there isn't a real points scorer (Diallo's points are mostly collected from his physicality). I don't see the Basques winning today, but I believe the Frenchman will gather his points. Good luck.

Knowing Zalgiris doesn't want to take the forum of the game, which is also not the most beautiful, but the first halves need to be tried. Zalgiris, after a series of losses and an away marathon, returns to the home arena and there is no need to talk about the mood. Maximum motivation, Gossas returns to the rotation. It's a shame that Butke is not here, but Brazdeikis looks solid in a couple of games. They have to immediately break the Spaniards, otherwise it will be a nerve war. Howard also won't play today after returning from an injury.

According to the media, Dustin Sleva is injured and it is unknown if he will play against the Basques, so let's go with a Tubelio 4.5 rebounded ball over. It should get over . The front line of the Basques is not impressive, so if they do not collect many turnovers, they should confidently collect 5 balls.

Baskonia's offensive team, however, forgot that Zalgiris comes from a good defense. Baskonia will not have Marcus Howard in their ranks, so there will be no three-point shots into the green basket. Baskonia has handicaps in their offensive games and Masiulis understands this, so without a doubt, he will place his bet on defense. 170 points for both teams is a very generous number.

Basks have a bunch of these player invoices, so in TLC, this total can always be looked at sideways, regardless of its shape. Those numbers will have to be normalized at some point, and green is a perfect fit for that, as it helps bring down the highs.

A sad game, many options were revealed from both sides, so now it remains to fight in a slow and muddy pace, for which there is no desire. The Basques lack even more talent, so they should suffer here.
