Two mid-tier teams that have collected very few points in this season. Both teams have scored an equal number of goals in the league, which is not even an average of 1 goal per game. This means that the defense of these teams is weaker, but they are able to make up for the conceded goals by scoring against top teams like Real Barcelona. As they are also weak in attack, I don't think there will be many goals, and in the last 5 matches between these teams, there have not been more than 3 goals scored.
One of Portugal's greats - Braga is not very confident as they are currently in 8th place in the league, but the team is very capable by Portuguese standards, and an opponent like Arouca, with the worst defense in the league, having conceded 30 goals in 11 matches, does not seem like a serious threat. After drawing in Europe, we need to celebrate and climb up the tournament table, especially when our opponents are on a 4-game losing streak and have just lost in the cup to a 3rd league club. Therefore, I think Braga has no other options but to win the match.
The Hawks are demonstrating good play, even though they are playing without their leaders. They have won 7 out of their last 10 games, while the 76ers are playing an unstable game and in my opinion are a little unpredictable. Can Philly end their three-game home losing streak here? I guess not tonight, and I like the odds given.
As I mentioned before, Lakers have a dynamic game, many attacks, and it's worth taking Ayton's rebounds. They are great at fighting for the ball, although their opponents have tall players. However, Ayton is also good at taking up positions and can fight well under the opponents' basket. Therefore, such a total against a tragic team that plays below average has value.
There will be no LeBron, but there will be plenty of opportunities for Reaves and Dončič to continue to compete. Both of these players have a high number of shots, and it's worth considering Ayton's rebounds. The astronomical numbers of this duo show a very dynamic style of basketball that the Lakers are showcasing. However, Reaves' total may not be very high since he takes a lot of shots and, most importantly, performs them very effectively. The Pelicans team does not have good defense, so I believe that open basketball will prevail.
I would like to see more activity from this player, as he has a good hand, but overall satisfied with his game, as he generates profits frequently without taking too many risks. However, he doesn't make many throws, as his primary function is to defend, so in a more open game, I think there will be opportunities for him to score over, so a relatively small over for a player who plays over 30 minutes.
Very good coefficient today for Sengun's triple-double. They had 3 poor games but today is a great chance to bounce back. Utah plays fast basketball, allows a lot of points, so it is beneficial to gather both assists and rebounds. Despite those three Sengun games, all games revolve around triple-doubles for him. Durant returns, and alongside Durant's productive results, it is better to assist Sengun. Steven Adams is questionable today, so if he does not play, the number of rebounds for Sengun will automatically increase. Averages this season: 22/9.4/7.1.
The Estonians have a pretty decent lineup and have invited more than just one solid basketball player, while the Czech bettersi times are already in the past. This includes players like Satoranski, Hruban, and others who were very solid in the past but are now veterans. In the home game, they managed to win against the Swedes, and when 15 out of 29 3-pointers were scored, it's clear that it was a good day for the Czechs. Now they have a game against Estonia, which is always a challenge, but after a great win against Peru and with good emotions, I believe the Estonians will have a significant advantage in this game.
Two interesting teams that like to gather points and play attack-based basketball. Such a line was seen in both teams' first group match, and now they must expect points from each other. The teams met in the previous world championship qualifying group, where this line was also present twice. Although both teams are missing their leaders, they should still be able to play successfully and quickly on the attack with their current rosters.
After a peculiar fiasco, Latvia must play significantly more successfully, not to mention that Peru is crucial for qualifying to the World Cup. Latvia has talent and experience, and I believe that their new coach Alonso will be able to properly motivate the team after such a defeat. Austria is very weak and although they managed to avoid being crushed by the Poles, there should still be a two-digit difference here. Latvia has room for redemption, while Austria can only play worse, making the negative outlook seem appealing now.
A good coefficient is obtained here so that Sengun's assist average will be made, he collects 7.1 this season, now just 3 from his average in 3 consecutive matches, after 5-6 assists, I think that this series should finally break and Sengun has a great opportunity today to gather productive results, especially from PnR with KD who should return to the squad. Jazz is a very favorable opponent in terms of statistical indicators in the offensive period as they give away 2 overscore points as a team in the league, and also give away overscore goals. I believe that here, with a coefficient of 10 for a triple-double, we can attempt for Sengun to make it happen.
I will try to catch the high odds tonight in NBA, Knicks Raptors are meeting, so it will be a very interesting game as they are currently ranked 2nd and 3rd in the season. I'm expecting a great match. I'm watching out for Brunson's double double, as he has had 3 such performances in his last 16 games. His assists have dropped to only 11 in the last 3 matches combined, so I think it's only a matter of time before he has a game with over assists. As a playmaker, he is very good and I believe the Raptors will try to take the ball out of his hands. As for the points, I don't think it's a concern, as he usually scores in double digits, so I think he will have no trouble reaching that tonight.
