The tragic game Denver played in Minneapolis and today I hope for much higher quality matches from them. With a 34% field goal percentage in the playoffs, it is impossible to just win and even though the pace in the series is good, the accuracy is lacking. The total has dropped a bit from the last games, so it seems to have over values now. Edwards was also saved in the last games, so his productivity was even lower. If they manage to avoid such periods like the one where they only scored 36 points, we can expect a very productive game. Denver has offensive weapons and as a team, it is not desirable to believe that such a team will end up on the losing side.

The tragic game was played by Denver in Minneapolis and today I hope for much higher quality matches from them. Shooting only 34% from the playoffs makes it impossible to just win, and even though the pace is good in the series, accuracy is struggling. The total has dropped a bit lately, so it seems to have already reached over values from before. Edwards was also spared in the previous games, so his scoring was even lower. If they manage to avoid such a period in the past where they scored only 36 points, we can expect a very high-scoring game.

Playing against Baskonia and even on their court, it seems like a small total. Barca after finishing the Euroleague season will definitely not come with such moods to make up for their defense, although Pascual would like to. It's hard to get motivated after such a loss, but the offensive team has players capable of attacking, especially when playing against Baskonia. There won't be Satoransky, but in my opinion, this is even better for the overs. Baskonia's game is fast and focused on offense, they know Barca well and that by slowing down the game, they would decrease their chances of winning.

In the first two games, only 8 rebounds were taken, but in the last 17, I am inclined to believe that the latter number will be closer to the average of future series. The averages of the season show that 11.8 rebounds were grabbed. Both teams are defending well in this series, so accuracy is not the best. The Hawks allowed centers to grab a lot of rebounds throughout the season, but their numbers did not improve in the final period.

We continue with the Spanish talent, which demonstrates something incredible, climbing in the rankings and already breaking records for the youngest player. His mature game not only surprises, but also allows us to believe and support him in the game against another young talent, Fonseca. Brazil has an impressive forehand, but often makes mistakes. In my opinion, the lack of stability for Brazil will be a crucial aspect in the match against Jodar.

Kroatia strongly lifted its level in the recent weeks, dominating in Madrid and sending home famous names. I think Argentina will also perform well, as this will only be their second match in Madrid. Echeveris started the year well, shining in the South American tournaments with Peru, but after coming to Europe, he lost his game a bit. The last match against Offner was quite difficult and challenging for Peru. I believe Dino will continue his strong performance from the Peruvian stage and into the next stage.

Chekas is playing very well in this ground season, showing a solid game. In Madrid, they easily dealt with their opponents. Rindernech, for now, is not demonstrating anything impressive to be considered the favorite of the match. On this court and on this day, I give the advantage to the Czech player.

In my opinion, Nava is highly underrated. The guy can shoot with a pretty good aim, of course mistakes are inevitable, but on a good day I think he could even beat Fils.
The Frenchman returned even stronger after his injury and has been showing a solid game, although the last match against Buse was particularly tough and a win was achieved with difficulty.
I think a 4.5 handicap is a great choice for this game.

This team has reached the limit of 3 out of 4 matches against Peru. Neptūnas looks good again after a weaker period, and Panevėžys as well, so both teams are in good form. As both teams seem to be doing well, I think we should expect usual numbers in offense, as both teams have a lot of potential on offense, and the game against Neptūnas is always fast-paced and focused on offense.

As a young strategist from the side of Nevėžis, I definitely do not trust and even though another coach has joined Nevėžis, Gargždai is my clear favorite for the upcoming game. Out of the 5 matches played between the two teams, Gargždai won 4, even though the last 3 were played at home, but the latter team won all of the matches. Nevėžis seems to be very weak and Gargždai still has a chance to rise higher, so I think that this coefficient is being taken.

The Porto team has only the local league left, where they have a 7 point advantage with 4 rounds remaining, but these points are very important for the team. In their away games, the Porto team has collected 40 points in 15 league matches, winning 85% of their games, and their 30 scored goals show that they play solidly in the attack. However, with 4 losses in their last 5 matches against Estrela, it shows poor form, and being one of the weakest teams in the league, they do not have many chances against the top teams this season. Therefore, I believe that Porto will have an easy victory.

The Marseille club, fighting for a place in the Champions League, secured the 3rd spot and a direct qualifying spot. Marseille is the 2nd highest scoring team in the league, and at home, they only trail league title contenders PSG and Lens. Nice surprisingly eliminated Strasbourg from the cup in an away game, but they are one of the worst away teams and are likely to return to their normal situation after a victory. Although Marseille has not been performing well lately, they always play well at home and are clearly the best team compared to their opponents, which is why they have achieved many victories at home. This can also be expected in the upcoming match.

They should calmly enter the half-time break of this match. The referee is one of the top whistle blowers in terms of average calls, around ~31 fouls. Rio will try to manipulate something, take away that ball, etc., but the referee is very easygoing. So both teams will gather a lot of penalties here. The choice is for the guests because they are stronger than the hosts.

Snooker, World Championship, Sheffield... The quarter-finals, out of twenty-five matches. One of the most promising players this season, Iran's Hossein V. (31 years old), has reached the stage of defeating Jud T. (36 years old) in this championship. To achieve victory in this format, a small miracle will be needed. The Briton's season has been disappointing so far, with a few frustrating losses, but there is still hope.
