Both teams were considered outsiders in the EuroLeague, but Valencia proved that their level is much higher than many expected, coming from a lower level. Again, personally, I am not surprised, as the same would not be considered outsiders if Unicaja had come, two similar teams with their style, where their mechanism works perfectly up to the point. Better defense is their offense, so in these matches I think they are closer to the favorite status, points race should be guaranteed and personally I believe they can even reach 200 points. Probably one of the most attractive games of the day for those who like a fast-paced game with lots of attacks, where the duration often reaches only 12 seconds, so in my eyes, here we need to rely on the points race and take the over. I won't talk about each player individually, but I will also include the over for a player who I like because of his playing style, precise shooting and significant contribution, which influences my choice - Cameron Taylor, who I believe to be underrated, but Maccabi is a favorable team for such a player, when his direct opponents are guards and he can overtake them much more than he could against more physical and sturdy defenders.
