I don't know, I think that Team Tundra is still better at the moment. Liquid doesn't look bad either, but in the group stage they faced easy teams like Ghana, and the team itself likes to party. Tundra has strong players and I think their individual skill is a bit higher. So, I believe that Tundra's chances of winning here are slightly higher.
Giannis will be out for two weeks, so Portis' role and minutes on the team will change.
Last season, in games without Giannis, he would still put up high numbers, both in points and rebounds. In the 24/25 season, when he had a bigger role, he recorded 11 double-doubles.
The Bucks are playing at home, they are a rested team and will definitely want to break their two-game losing streak.
Another advantage is that Embiid will not be playing for the 76ers tonight due to a period injury.
(Bobby Portis, over 7,5+ Atkovoto kamuolio) @1.860 8/10

Another favorable thing is that Embiid will not be playing for 76ers tonight due to an injury.

Dubai does not impress me as a team, they have some good names, but it is not a game for betters and away against teams like PAO, I don't know if they will be able to maintain a quality game. PAO at home can easily make double-digit runs against such opponents without defense. The handicap is not large, I don't expect the guests to stay in the game for long.
Efes is plagued by injuries and the game is still uncertain, despite facing the Bayern team without their key players. They barely managed to avoid defeat in the end. It's hard to say if Efes could make any significant changes at the moment, even with a full roster and the same coach. The situation is different for Barca, with coaching changes and the need for players to prove themselves and get a new boost.
On paper, Real may seem dangerous, but it must be acknowledged that the game is currently not the strongest and Zalgiris could take advantage of it. It was a rough double week for Zalgiris, they had no chance against Olympiacos and fatigue added to their game against Dubai. But sometimes such losses are good pressure for players to maintain concentration. In recent years, Zalgiris has been holding up and fighting well for their place in Spain.
A high handicap is given here, I believe, this season's Real is far from the Real we are used to seeing. Ana took a step back and this season looks even worse, maybe the only problem is that they are not performing so smoothly at home without her. But overall, the performance is now tragically bad and for Zalgiris, it's a chance to take advantage of it. They lost the last game without Ana, but it's not easy when she's absent. It was a tough week, with the long trip to Dubai where the heat was intense. I think Masiulis will draw some conclusions and maybe Zalgiris won't repeat the same mistakes in their upcoming games, but I believe they will defend more consistently and if they lose, it will be by a small margin.
Recently, both teams have been playing an offense-focused game of basketball. This means that both teams are playing against other offensive teams and there should not be such a huge focus on scoring, but we all know that playing against Real Madrid is not favorable for Kaunas Žalgiris. All of the previous games played against Real Madrid have been very high-scoring, and their team also has a lot of offensive potential, so I believe this will be a tough match for us.
Hello, Euroleague. Milan against Hapoel. We're dealing with a 3 point handicap in favor of Hapoel. Milan has suffered significant losses. Lorenzo has been out for a long time, but Booker is also contributing at the center position. This means that the only real center left is Dunston. Well, I'm not sure how much the veteran can still do to lead the team. To make matters worse, it's not clear if LeDay will play. If he doesn't, I really don't see many chances. This was already evident in the local league, where they lost at home.
Hapoel is having an impressive season so far. They're currently at the top of the Euroleague standings and it's no surprise. Their game is solid, with only losses against Maccabi in the first rounds (derby), Oly, and now against a recovering Fenerbahce in back-to-back games. The team looks very solid on paper, with some outstanding big men who could take advantage of the weaknesses of the opponents today.
Yes, Milan is doing well considering their injuries and currently have a 4-game winning streak in the Euroleague, but I think it will end today. If Hapoel maintain their form, I believe they will win by at least 3 points. Good luck.
