It seems that Zalgiris had a conversation after the tragic game at home and made changes that were clearly felt in their offense. A faster basketball, allowing for more creativity, may have been the problem that caused some players to focus on their individual performances. But two high-scoring games in a row. The opponent coming in is more focused on offense than defense, so as long as Zalgiris can keep up their offensive momentum, their style shouldn't change even against the Greeks. In my opinion, it's a 50/50 game, but in recent seasons, even with a weaker team, Zalgiris would win at home against PAO.
It's just illogical handicap between two Spanish teams who know each other well. Basques fit for Valencia team's playing style, they love fast basketball and lots of 3 points, and with players like Howard or Cabarrot in their roster, they have the opportunity to compete against anyone. Valencia, after a solid start, experienced two consecutive losses. Even though the team usually achieved a advantage, most of the time it was only up to a double-digit lead. Basques haven't been having much success lately either.

JAE reserve league u23. Apart from a few sparks, Bataeh's defense looks tragic this season, with 8 rounds and already 29 goals conceded. Last season, they were struggling in defense, but this year the situation has worsened even more. Nasr are just average players, not fighting for top positions, and they seem to be trying to avoid finishing the season like last year, in the last place. The team plays attacking football, scoring and conceding in almost every game, so there is not a lot of chance for them to get 3 points. Therefore, I have no doubt that they will play in their own style, attacking and trying to score. Bataeh also does not do well in this type of game, and they rarely have a chance to win. Last season, in a similar situation, both matches between them were full of action and goals, so I believe that the circumstances allow us to expect a repeat of this scenario.
With only three rounds left until the end of the group stage, Gharafa can be considered the survival race for the playoffs. The remaining two matches will be even tougher, with only three points left to secure a spot. Therefore, the focus is solely on Peru. On the other hand, Wahda already has a guaranteed spot in the playoffs, so they are not under much pressure. Both coaches and players are focused on the game against Peru, as there is nothing to lose and a win would boost the team's morale. The team will be playing for three points, which would also improve their overall position in the standings, although it does not guarantee an easier playoff period. In any case, it should be a favorable factor for an open and attacking game from both sides, as Gharafa will surely be pushing for a win, while Wahda does not have much reason to play pragmatically and has plenty of options to create chances.
The partisan game does not exist. No one is trying there, some kind of protest is taking place, not only among fans, but also among the players themselves. The players on the court only walk around, making difficult shots after dribbling through their hands. No one moves without the ball. The last 2 games tell everything. Krka is clearly not a good team, but they can still do something against such opponents.

With Onana's arrival, Trabzonspor team has become a serious force in Turkey. As is usual for a Turkish giant, the team has solid foreign players, and now with stability also present, the team is very capable. Even top teams struggle against Trabzonspor, and playing against a lower ranked team now seems like a highly probable outcome.
I think that the teams promoting productive football need to extend their productive match cycle. Both within their own team and with other teams, they score a lot and also concede a lot. The productive period of the teams and the results among themselves indicate that goals must be achieved.
