Euroleague Betting Tips & Previews

Panathianikos-Caja Laboral

These teams meet for the 4th time this season. Two of the games were won by Panathinaikos and one game was won by Caja Laboral. Especially at the game in Athens during regular season Panathinaikos had dominated the game and got a 95-74 victory over its opponent. Visitors had only 1W out of 8 games at top 16 and they have no chance to qualify to the next round, however Panathinaikos desperately needs a win in order to get a good advantage for the next round. For tonight’s game Roko Ukic of Panathinaikos will experience most minutes at shooting guard position, as Dimitris Diamantidis and Zack Wright will share the point guard duties against Caja Laboral’s Thomas Huertel and Devon Van Ostrum. Mike Bramos, Roko Ukic and Jonas Maciulis will lead their team from the wings and prepare an easy victory for Panathinaikos. Bettors can bet on Panathinaikos’ 12,5 handicap win with complacency and enjoy watching the game tonight.

 Prediction: Panathinaikos to WIN (12,5 points hand)

Unicaja Malaga-Anadolu Efes

 Two classic Euroleague teams meet once again in Malaga. At the game in İstanbul Unicaja won with 72-74 against Efes. Currently Efes is at the 7th position of the table with 2W6L and Unicaja is sharing the 4th position with Fenerbahce Ulker with 4W4L. The defending problems of Efes, especially at the painted area caused them to lose many games this season. Zoran Planinic and Dusko Savonovic’s offensive additions were not sufficient up to now in order to take the team to the next round. At tonight’s game Vladimir Stimac of Unicaja will see most of the playing time alongside Nik Caner-Medley under the baskets. Unicaja’s successfull coach Joan Plaza has also option to use Carlos Suarez at power forward position when needed. Moreover Unicaja is a team, which can use the pick’n rolls effectively time to time and during this game this fact might help them a lot to gain an easy victory. If Unicaja play-makers Earl Calloway and Jayson Granger can set the right game tempo, the game might be much easier for the home side. Of course Jamon Gordon of Efes should not be forgotten and stopped somehow. Our betting advice for this game will be for 7,5 points handicap win of Unicaja Malaga.

 Prediction: Unicaja Malaga to WIN (7,5 points hand)
 Highest Odds: Pinnacle @ 2,01 – Unibet @ 1,92 – bet365 @ 1,90
