I think there's no need to introduce this character, he might even be the MVP of the league or the Finals MVP and maybe even the top 2-3 scorer in the league. Tonight's match against Oklahoma will be a good test to see where he stands before the playoffs and I think we'll see a different version of SGA. Stars like to play against the Knicks, especially in their iconic arena, but when playing against the Knicks who are one of the top contenders in the league, it doesn't matter where you play, it's always a great challenge for stars like Shai. He's averaging 31.5 points per game this season, although recently he's been scoring about every other game and every other game he doesn't, so we can expect him to score around 33-35 points tonight.
I'm hurting after yesterday's loss to the Hornets, but the Sansa's have a chance to bounce back tonight against Boston. It's a back-to-back situation, but I don't think the Hornets will sweat it as they are a young and hungry team for whom every game is crucial in securing 7-8th place and making their path to the Play-In games easier. Considering this, I believe the Hornets will have enough energy and adrenaline, especially playing against the Celtics, who probably won't serve as much motivation. The key reason why I think the Hornets will win is because Jaylen Brown won't be in the Celtics' lineup, and even though they managed to beat Atlanta without him, Tatum is still struggling with his rhythm and isn't demonstrating good shooting percentages. If the Celtics don't shoot well, I think Charlotte will be able to defeat them even in a back-to-back situation in front of their own fans.
Under (Scottie Barnes (TOR) under 3.5 Pataikyti baudų metimai (+OT)) @-125 4/10
In this case, the last match statistics and the head-to-head score are both favorable. In the last 20 matches, he has managed to score above 3.5 points only 6 times, and out of those 6 times, half were when he scored 4 points. This is very close to hitting the under each time, and in the last 5 matches, he has not been able to score above this line at all. So everything is strongly pointing towards the under tonight.
Over (Jamal Murray (DEN) over 3.5 Pataikyti baudų metimai (+OT)) @-132 4/10
Recently, Jamal has been a frequent visitor to the free-throw line. If we look at the statistics, in the last 10 games he has managed to score from the 3.5 line 8 times, which would be enough to stand there only twice with a good percentage of shots made. However, the fact that in head-to-head games with GSW he has not been able to appear at the free-throw line has slightly spoiled the overall picture. But looking at the full statistics, it seems that we will have a good chance of seeing an over in this match.
Even though it might be difficult, playing a game at the most inconvenient time and being mentally prepared for a tough battle can be challenging. PAO lost Grant and I doubt they would risk playing him, which means a defensive player will have to step up. PAO has found their solid form, with Nunna and their offense improving. Olympiacos' injuries have become their strength, which was only on paper before the season. Both teams have an abundance of weapons on offense, but the circumstances also call for saving energy for the Euroleague.
Xinjiang had a losing streak, but now they have reached home in Peru. Now they play at home again against an opponent who was recently defeated. Xinjiang is playing well wherever they go, so in order to compete for a playoff spot, they need to beat the Rockets who are playing very weakly away.
Both teams have the ability to attack here, as I mentioned in the previous forecast, these first matches could decide the fate of the series. Besiktas is a very strong team and one of the favorites to win the tournament. Although the team has a very good offense, their defense is not bad either, just not as strong as their offense. The visitors also have a decent offense, but like Besiktas, they also focus on their defense. The total is more based on their results in Turkey, where referees often allow for higher scores. In the 2026 Eurocup, Besiktas played 4 matches and did not reach such a total score.
Well, Tianjin is not doing too well now and has a series of losses, and their opponent Shandong is definitely strong. But during the season, Tianjin has played quite decently. They have played against each other once this season and have each won a game. In their last match, Tianjin was beaten by +20 points. When the teams meet again in a short period of time, the matches usually happen more frequently and this should not be an exception.
The first games, which often determine the series winner, therefore teams play much more responsibly, also the tension is greater. Both teams this season have 1st and 2nd place according to the defense ratings. Bourgas is also in second place for pace, so I am expecting dominant basketball from them when playing at home.
Excellent Czech form, covers everyone, serves well, few mistakes, great racquets, the surface suits him. Sinister little robot, but not invincible, the coefficient is inadequate and on a good day Lehecka can beat an Italian having a bad day.
10kf is definitely inadequate.
Under (Ousmane Dieng (MIL) under 7.5 3PT metimu) @-116 4/10
I understand that Milwaukee was hit hard today, but still even under such conditions, Dieng won't be able to catch up with those 8 3PTs without any statistics. Clearly, he focuses a lot on those 3PT shots and sometimes even manages to hit them in a fun way, so maybe the opponent will give him more attention and we won't see him throwing 8 shots from afar. Often, this impacts his first period with inaccurate attempts. Let's wish him luck with that.
Even though Panathinaikos won the cup in Heraklion, Greece, in this season they have lost 3 out of 4 games against Olympiacos, with one of the victories being an away game. Despite Pao's 6-game winning streak and their improved performance, they still don't seem very confident. Olympiacos, on the other hand, has a psychological advantage, so in these upcoming matches, I believe it is worth betting on Bartzokas' team, which is still considered the underdog.
One of the most productive football-playing teams, Germany always promotes an offensive style of play. In this match they even scored 4 goals against the Swiss team, and now they have to score a lot of goals again at home against the Ghanaian team. The latter was already crushed by Austria 5-1, so scoring three goals should be quite easy for the Germans. In the 2025 World Cup qualifiers, the German team has scored 16 goals in 6 matches, showing that scoring 3 goals is quite a usual result for them.
In this match, Colombia lost to the Croatian team, while France defeated Brazil and played the majority of the second half with a disadvantage. The Super Squad of France gathered everything they wanted and even Mbappe played for the team. With this lineup, the French team can beat anyone and even with one or two goals conceded to Peru, it is still achievable for this team. I believe this betting option looks very attractive because France's offense can easily score three goals, while South American teams struggle against teams of this level and France themselves do not always keep a clean sheet.
These teams showed all their beauty in the first match, Bayern won 2-3 away, even though it could have been an over, as both teams hit the post three times. United will visit one of the best European teams with a deficit and a fighting spirit, while Bayern marches on... these girls have only lost once this season, in the first Champions League group match against Barcelona (7-1 considering their form this season is out of this world). Bayern has scored 3+ goals in 25 out of 33 matches this season, it's very difficult to stop these girls and United knows that, so they must be prepared to play an over.
In these first matches, these teams showed their full potential, with Bayern winning 2-3 away, although it could have been an even higher score as both teams hit the crossbar three times. United are traveling to face one of the best teams in Europe with a deficit, with the determination to fight for a win, while Bayern continues to dominate... This team has only lost once this season, in the first group match against Barcelona (7-1 when looking at their form this season, it's out of this world). Bayern has scored 3+ goals in 25 out of 33 matches this season, and it's very difficult to stop this team, which United knows very well. Therefore, the mindset must be focused on scoring as many goals as possible.
Arsenal have caught a beastly form, last season Arsenal won the Champions League, but this season they started off poorly with many dropped points and unexpected losses. However, in the last 11 games they won all 11, including the Club World Cup finals. The first match between them ended with Arsenal beating Peru 3-1, and on Saturday Arsenal defeated Tottenham 5-2, saving their position. On Sunday, Chelsea barely won 4-3 against Villa (an extra rest day worked in Arsenal's favor). During this 11 game series, Arsenal beat Chelsea twice and City, two of the better teams in England.
One team left a good impression, while the other had great success. The Swedes performed professionally against Ukraine and won 3-1, while the Poles looked tragically and only managed to score one goal out of the many opportunities given by Albania. The Poles made many silly mistakes in defense, and Albania had three one-on-one opportunities but couldn't score. The Swedes won't waste such chances at home, Gyokeres seems to be in good form, scoring all 3 goals against Ukraine. I see Sweden winning 2-1 or 3-1, but the odds for Sweden's total are too sweet, which could potentially lead to a 2-2 draw or a 2-3 loss.
Although the Czechs and favorites are waiting for a fierce fight in the finals of the Euros. The Czechs barely made it to the quarterfinals against the Turks when they managed to come back from a 0-2 deficit and win on penalties, while the Danes very professionally dealt with the Macedonians at home with a 4-0 score. I take a gamble here because both teams have strong statistics and the fight is guaranteed. The Czechs have conceded 13 corners against Ireland, while they only took 6. The Danes took 13 corners against the Macedonians, 11 of which were converted into goals.
The Turks barely managed to secure a 1-0 victory against Peru before facing the Romanians, although it was supposed to be much easier. Meanwhile, Kosovo surprised everyone with a strong away performance, defeating the Slovaks 3-4. The Turks underperformed, while Kosovo overperformed, but this will be a motivation for both teams going into the final. The Turks will need to focus, while Kosovo will be fired up. Kosovo is a solid team on their home turf and rarely loses since 2022, while the Turks are a very solid and likable team that plays offensively. I see potential in both teams, but the Turks are the safer bet, with a possible score of 1-2 or 1-3 in their favor. However, I believe we can expect an exciting football match from both sides.
