Paris Basketball - Olimpia Milano

When I see that even small, but favorite Hapoel club has to face such a coefficient distribution. Although in the table Hapoel is at the same level as Panathinaikos, the former's game is currently slowly descending from the mountain, while the latter's game keeps climbing up the mountain and will likely reach its peak at the right moment. Therefore, the cost of this particular match is very high, as now both teams have 20 points each, but Hapoel will most likely play under. So the cost at the end could be such that this match will determine whether you make it to the sixth round and second place in the playoffs, or miss out on the sixth round and risk playing in the elimination round. Panathinaikos currently looks like a solid team, which will not take such risks and should be able to win such a match. Let's try with the Greeks.

The doubtful teams are in good form and like a productive basketball game. Žalgiris from Spain won very calmly, but now I think the scene will be different and the game will be equal and persistent. The line is very boldly set by both teams, especially in Kaunas, where Žalgiris sets such lines very often.

Let's be open - Zalgiris cannot maintain a long series against Peru, and Barcelona comes in good form. Euroleague is unpredictable and high coefficients often win, as I believe will be the case here. The Spanish club has changed their face with a new strategist and has become a very serious force, and both the back and the basket are playing well for this team, so I think Barcelona still has a better chance of winning in this game.

Important player - nothing new. Key player in defense - also nothing new. However, his importance has been growing lately, as Ulanovas can no longer be considered a role player, and Brazdeikis is not showing anything. With increased minutes since the game against Real, self-confidence and good rhythm are, I believe, crucial factors for allowing Arnu to gather at least 5 pts.

Good luck.

Hapoel's recent gameplay is unconvincing, their form is declining, defense is a tragedy, and Baskai easily scored 118 points against them. The loss at home will greatly affect Hapoel's performance, and a drop is inevitable with their schedule. These upcoming matches are very important in terms of the tournament standings. Pao, although struggling this season with their lineup, have managed to win 4 games in a row and seem to be in good form towards the end of the season.

Zalgiris at home is one of the best teams, with only 4 losses this season. Their defense at home is completely different from their away games and their defense at home is also one of the best this season. This is a very important match for the top 6, as well as a direct competitor to Barcelona for a spot in the standings. In the first game, Zalgiris dominated but the coach has changed since then, although the players remain the same. Zalgiris is a much stronger team overall, while Barcelona has been struggling and if they do not score over 130 points, Zalgiris should easily win.

In the Euroleague, the 4th round is underway, Nunn is slowly recovering and the team seems to be gaining momentum before the decisive stage. Especially since the results against Peru are important in order to fight for a direct ticket to the playoffs. Hapoel has also caught a good wave, but have suffered two consecutive losses. The game is crucial for both teams, but I am going with the away team, which I believe is currently in better form.

A funny total for this player. Pascalis trusts Clyburn especially and he will give him about 30 minutes here. He will make many twos and threes. He will be the key player today. In the last 3 games, he averaged 16 points. The guy is in great form and Barcelona will need his points if they want to compete. Also, 2 three-pointers should be okay.

Such a funny total for this player. Paskalis has special trust in Clyburn, and he will give him around 30 minutes. He can shoot both twos and threes a lot. He will be the main player tonight. In the last 3 games, he averaged 16 points. The guy is in great form and Barca will need his points if they want to compete for something. Also, 2 three-pointers should be fine.

There is a lot of trust in Butkevicius. And here Masiulis truly spends quite a few minutes in the fight. He rubs against that three-pointer most often, and throws those 3PTs. One three-pointer should definitely go in because now he has found good form and confidence. In the last game in the EuroLeague, he went 3/3 against Fener.

Monaco will not have Theis under the basket today, and their front line is not one that enjoys physical contact. Knowing Kabengele's physical abilities, I believe he should double up and go at a fast pace today. Plus, his form is currently very good, with 7 consecutive games of such high performance, so I think today he will have another great showing.

Hello. Against Euroleague. Belgrade derby between Zvezda and Partizan. We are going with Partizan +7.5 points handicap. Partizan has had a very rough season and it seemed like they would be at the bottom, but they have really recovered recently. They got rid of Parker, Carlik returned, and the team has a completely different face. Partizan now has a 5-game winning streak, and their loss against Fenerbahce 5 rounds ago was only by 3 points.
Zvezda is a very inconsistent team. On paper, they may be better than Partizan, but recently they haven't been convincing to me. They lost to Barcelona, barely won in overtime against Baskonia, and their loss against Pao is not so surprising, but to lose at home against Bayern is not a good sign. I think the team is too stacked with players and the roles are not very clear, and not all players are happy. But even without considering that, derbies are rarely blowouts. Even in this tragic season, the teams split their matchups - Partizan +3 and Zvezda +4 points. I don't expect anything different here. There will be a lot of drama, tension, physicality, and desire in this game. Carlik even said that in this stage of the season, even though they have nothing to play for, they want to ruin Zvezda's chances. I don't see an 8 or over point difference coming from Zvezda in this game. Good luck.

The player recently played in the ABA league, where he finished with astronomical results, but also had a tough match against an opponent who had a double week. Both teams had a busy schedule and it was difficult to defend, but now it's time for the derby, for which they were prepared. Each loss for Zvezda could result in a drop from the ranks, and the Partizan players have openly expressed their desire to contribute to Zvezda's downfall as if it were a celebration. I am looking forward to a tense atmosphere and a tough game, as is usual in matches between these teams.
