Real Madrid - Hapoel Tel-Aviv

Unexpectedly, Žalgiris, having beaten Fenerbahce club at home and away, must put up a strong fight in the playoffs. 165 and 174 points scored away show that we can expect high-scoring basketball from both teams, as this is advantageous for Žalgiris and the Turkish club also has super players in their offense. The Turkish club has regained their self-confidence and I believe they will be well-prepared, but considering the playing style and offensive capabilities of both teams, this should be another high-scoring game.

It is very important for Zalgiris to win the first game and put psychological pressure on Fener, I think these are the crucial series games because it is unclear what their current form is, but if they played in the Turkish championship without saving themselves, then their form is not very good and on top of that they have injuries. In Zalgiris, I believe the players will have a double motivation when they didn't receive the MVP. It is important not to burn out from that great desire.

You will find the bet in the long-term offer for the Euroleague. Francisco should play a lot of minutes in the playoffs and take more responsibility than usual. The player who can make an impact at any given minute, but in the final stretch of the Euroleague, made a lot of mistakes. In the last game against Fene, there were 5 turnovers. Saras likes to and knows how to stop the opponent's leaders by taking them out of the game. Knowing that Francisco sometimes struggles to break through in the game, it is likely that there will be a series of matches with a particularly poor statistic of mistakes.

I would say a good course for the captain.
Out of the last 5 games, there were even 4 overins in total, and only 1 point was missing to make it 5/5.
Against RYTAS😡 even 17 points.
Well-known visitors to the el-captain and others, what if he didn't score at least 4 points in the first game in Istanbul, if not Ule with his el-catapult shot.
Good luck to the green-whites.

Here Gosas plays, and plays for a long time. Last H2H the average time is usually 27 minutes against Feneri. He throws a lot of shots, both 3-pointers and two-pointers. Masiulis especially trusts him, just like Cisko. Someone wrote that Cisko might stop playing because he didn't get the MVP, maybe as a joke or maybe not, but Gosas seems like a more reliable option to me. 11 points may not seem like a lot, knowing that most of the time they'll be playing against a good defense. Sara has improved his line-up, but this may also motivate them even more in terms of defense, and the fact that the focus will be on Cisko is undeniable. Gosas, with his experience, will surely make his shots count, but will they fall uncontrollably?

There is a better chance to open in game 1, to surprise someone. The second match will be much more difficult, as the opponents will have adapted and the coach will make adjustments. Local champions Bitim and Jantunen have suffered injuries, so it is unclear whether they will play today, and if they do, how they will feel. Although they may not seem like serious players, in the rotation, Ghana has important tasks, especially since Ghana has a weak composition at Fenerio this year.

Hello.
Euroleague. Fenerbahce against Zalgiris. We're going with Zalgiris +6.5 points handicap. The 2-0 record in the regular season says a lot. Zalgiris looks better in terms of form and team health. Yes, Fener plays at home and Saras is at the helm, but those are the only advantages for the team. On the local front, Jantunen and Bitim have suffered injuries, and although they are not game-changing players, their absence significantly shortens the bench and they are needed as role players for Saras. Tucker has not looked good against Zalgiris, and the team lacks tall players, so if Melli has a bad day, there's no one else to play. The defenders are serious with Saras, but I believe Masiulis will have something for them (both against Baldwin and Tucker, he can take the risk of shooting three-pointers).
Zalgiris is coming off a good streak. He was second in the MVP selection, and I think he feels a little offended and will want to prove that it was not true. Wright comes after a season in Peru, Butkevicius, Sleva and Tubelis are in great form. Goss also looks very strong against Fener so far in this season - 20 and 13 points. However, the main focus will be to stop Zalgiris, so I think Goss can step up here, plus he has playoff experience.
To win the series, we need to hang on in one of the two away matches, and I still see chances for over in the first match. The most important thing is not even to win, but not to lose by more than 6 points, and the bet is won. And I believe the match will be tough and low-scoring, which is why this handicap seems very safe. Good luck.

Birutis played against Fener very briefly because it was a very unfavorable matchup for all of Jasikevicius' front line players. Sleeva and Tubelis will take minutes from Laurynas. And during the periods, there will definitely not be any special plays focusing on ball distribution.

This is his season, so all eyes are on him. Hallas will probably try to take care of her, but Cisco is capable of outmaneuvering her, hello speeds are no longer the same. Even with an empty first half, Cisco is able to perform brilliantly through the entire period, scoring and masterfully drawing fouls. I am waiting for a fitting performance.

They trust him a lot, the contract was extended for a reason. In the first playoffs, he gathers penalties, while Baldwin brings his experience. If Hall plays defense, Wade will make the attack. The rotation will narrow, so the leader's playing time will increase.

In the 0/2 season, Fener should not be allowed to dream here on the courts, they should take work seriously. The experience should devour the inexperienced greens. There is a lot of talent in Peru, the coach reacts perfectly, so I am looking forward to the atmosphere and a confident Peru.

Hello. Euroleague playoffs. Olympiacos against Monaco. We are moving with a +9.5 handicap for Monaco. Yes, Olympiacos is a good team and I definitely believe they will win against Monaco in this series, but the guests are not pushovers and it won't be an easy game. Overall, Monaco is not a favorable team for the home team. They have won both times this year and even caused some trouble for Final4 by beating them in Peru. When there was a lot of drama regarding money and Spanoulis leaving, it seemed like the team would fall apart, but they are actually doing very well towards the end of the season. Yes, they don't have Miro, but when he's not at his best in defense and not as sharp in offense, it might even work in their favor. Everyone else is healthy. Mike is in amazing form, he looked great in both playoff matches, and Diallo, Blossomgame and Theis are no longer as empty as they were in the middle of the season. The other guards can also play well - both Okobo and Strazel have enough talent to help the team at times.
Yes, Olympiacos is a solid and deep team with an MVP in the lead, and as I mentioned, I believe they will win this series, but I don't expect any blowouts, especially in the first match with the tension (which will be higher for Olympiacos as the favorites). I think Monaco not losing by over 9 points is very possible. Good luck.

Monaco has already shown in their last few matches that they can compete even without important players. Now the situation is definitely more positive, and the playoffs games played recently could potentially bring an even bigger advantage for Monaco. It would not be surprising if these matches become an even better chance for them to win against Peru, possibly even in the entire series. The pressure is not on Monaco, as they have talent and have already proven their character after winning the French Cup following the Euroleague.

The regular season matches of Zalgiris were confidently won from the side of the Valencia team. The Spanish club is in very good form and they only interrupted their 8 game winning streak in the last match against Real Madrid. The team is in great shape, and the home-court advantage is crucial for them. Although Pao has improved their game, playing away is still difficult for them, and they seem unable to keep up with the speed of the Valencia team. The first match should be in favor of the Valencia team.

Hello.
Euroleague playoffs. Valencia versus Pao. Going with Badio over 11.5 points.
I'm looking forward to some fast-paced basketball in this match. Valencia is scoring a lot of points at home and if there isn't a huge playoff pressure, I don't see how that can change. Pao couldn't keep up with Valencia's players and lost both of their previous meetings. I think Grant will be guarding Montero, which will open up opportunities for another amazing player on the team - Badio. He has reached this total in all of the last 6 games. Against Pao, he scored 14 and 12 points. In the last 6 games, he has been playing over 20 minutes on average, and while it may not seem like much, Montero's average playing time in the team is not even 22 minutes. He is a very efficient player, shooting well from both inside the paint (54.8 percent) and from the three-point line (35.8 percent). I believe he will have no trouble scoring 12 points in a fast-paced game, and as I mentioned, I think Pao will do everything they can to stop Montero. Good luck.

Like every team, Valencia also has its strengths and weaknesses. What they struggle with is defending against perimeter players, but they excel at the last few close games, where Hayes scored 19 points. The same happened in the recent game against Real, where the majority of points were scored by forwards Hezonja (17pts) and Lyles (16pts). Today, I expect something similar, and if Hayes doesn't score more than 10 points, the team won't stop.

Just like every team, Valencia also has its strengths and weaknesses. What they struggle with is defending against perimeter players, as evidenced in their recent game against Hayes, who scored 19 points. Lately, Hayes has been struggling with scoring, only managing to score a total of 6 points in the past two games. If he doesn't score in the double digits today, it will be a new low for him.

Pao comes into the series as underdogs and I think that's a plus for them. I believe Valencia is too overconfident after their win against Pao and it won't work in their favor. Atamanas has been in difficult situations before and I believe he will remain calm. Another factor I see is Shortsas, I think he has the ambition to prove himself after a not-so-successful regular season and show that he can be a team leader.
