The last preparation days for KBO before the start of the season on Friday. There is not much information about the selection as the competitions take place every day, there is a lot of rotation, poor pitchers get a chance to perform, etc... Hanwha played 11 friendly games, of which they went over 7 times, while Dinos also played 11 games and went over 7 times. Yesterday, these teams played their first friendly match, which ended with Hanwha beating Dinos 11-4 and I think Dinos underperformed, Hanwha may do the same, but I am expecting a better performance from Dinos.

The last KBO preparation days before the start of the season on Friday. There is not much information about the choices because the games are played every day, there are a lot of rotations, the poor pitchers get a chance to show themselves, etc... Samsung has played 11 friendly games so far, of which they have won over this total 6 times, while KIA has also played 11 games and won over 5 times. Yesterday these teams played their first friendly match and Samsung won 7-1, they did their job, but KIA did not. In the second match, we can expect a better game from KIA.

Good coefficient for Alperen D-D. After missing 2 games, he returned with 3 consecutive double-doubles, both in points and assists. There is always potential for this player to achieve a Triple-Double, as he is good in both rebounds and assists. He is a valuable player, and his opponents always fear his offensive game and fast-paced attacks. This could be a game where Sengun's statistics can improve. In the first meeting, he scored 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 11 assists against the Bulls. We can hope for a similar performance here.

I will try Ausar Overi tonight, I think it's a favorable match up against the Lakers. As an athletic player, he will be able to attack the athletic Lakers defenders. I've seen with the Rockets how much trouble his twin Amen caused for the Lakers, and although Ausar is not at the same level as a player, he has similar capabilities and I believe he will be a challenge for the Lakers, even with their improved defense. He has been averaging around 10 points this season, but hasn't been performing at his best so far. However, I think playing against such a tough opponent today will be an extra motivation for him and I believe Chad's absence will also elevate his game. I predict that he will score double digits.

Valencia's form has dropped recently. They lost to Real Madrid and Tenerife. Then at home they lost to a struggling Barcelona. Among themselves, Valencia beat Olympiacos this year, but under these circumstances, it is possible that there will be a rematch.

NBA revoked the last technical of Luka and he will be able to play against the Pistons, his and the Lakers' form has been stellar lately, winning 12 out of the last 13 games, and Luka has scored over 30 points in each one (and even got 60). The Pistons are still missing their key player Cunningham, but with a strong team they are able to offset his absence to some extent. The Pistons have one of the best defenses in the league, so they will try to limit Luka's points and force him to pass the ball, although he will still likely score around 20 points, his total score should still be at the top.

The NBA has lifted Luka's last technical and he will be able to play against the Pistons, his and the Lakers' form have been stellar lately, with 12 wins out of the last 13, and Luka has scored over 30 points in each game (his highest being 60). The Pistons are still missing their star player Cunningham, but with a strong team assembled, they are able to compensate for his absence. The Pistons have one of the best defenses in the league, which will limit Luka's points and force him to pass the ball, although he is expected to still score around 20 points, his total points should be at the top.

Simply a higher level player, as much as Tiafoe knows how to strike, but not a great fan of his subs. We have already met once and the score was clear, I don't think it will be any different this time.

ATP Miami, hard.. Young man from Spain, Martin L. (20y.o.), reached the finals in this tournament. Great job, he gained good playing experience and next year he will improve even more. In this match, the main attention will be on the first significant sensation of the tournament, 25-year-old local representative Sebastián Korda. He had a very serious level of play this year, he feels great on this surface, is difficult to beat, and will definitely give the young man a good lesson in this match.

This is a great opportunity for both players, but it is evident that Kamilas should take advantage of it. The Polish player is significantly higher in the rankings than his opponent, who has a poor record against top 100 players, which cannot be denied. Both players have performed well in Miami so far, but it was Kamilas who reached the over, defeating opponents such as Miomir Kecmanovic and Learner Tien. Such victories should give him confidence in this match.

A strange coefficient for such a total. It can be said that he recently returned after a back injury, but already had one good performance, second to GSW even though they have good and physically strong players, but I wouldn't say that someone works impressively in defense against high players like Daniel, who has a good jump and can defend and fight under the opponents' basket for rebounds.

Dallas also has their fair share of problems with tall players, but this guy always gets over the time when others leave, and in my opinion, he can easily reach the 16 point threshold today, as Podziemskis is not good at individual defense and it should be difficult for him to stop Daniel, who confidently finishes attacks under the basket.

The risk is not small, as Olympiacos knows how to step up when needed, but Valencia also knows how to maintain a quick pace. I am not very convinced that Valencia can fall into a hole when they have consistently demonstrated an impressive tempo throughout the season, especially when Olympiacos also has a strong pace. This game is important for both teams, one fighting for the top spot and the other fighting to stay out of the relegation zone.

Earlier this season, Olympiacos suffered a loss against Valencia at their home court, and now the situation could potentially end up the same with a lot at stake. However, Olympiacos will surely not want to lose again, as it could greatly affect their position in the standings. Valencia has a tough schedule ahead, making it difficult for them, but considering their ability to dictate a fast pace, they must focus on gathering their strength at home against any opponents.

I am taking a risk, but I believe that both teams will bring a strong tempo and determination to the game.

We often see interesting results from Turkey, so I hope for the same here. The teams have similar strengths, but Bursaspor has its own advantages. Petkim had to play against Spain and got eliminated from the Fiba Europe Cup tournament, which usually results in poor performance in the local championship for teams. Additionally, their 6-game losing streak does not contribute to their motivation and self-confidence. Of course, Bursaspor may not seem any better with an even longer losing streak and a loss in the first away game, but I believe the odds are too high for this unfortunate showdown, especially considering that Petkim also played in the middle of the week before getting eliminated.
