Rivero is still not here. Today I think I will have plenty of time to defend against Nebo, who gets many throws and can also make a three-pointer. The only downside to betting is that they tend to quickly accumulate fouls, resulting in a shorter game time.

The main star player, Teodosic and Nedovic, are the key players. Dobric is out. He was projected as one of the team leaders and is starting to show better results. He often receives open 3-pointers due to the risks taken. I am looking forward to a productive game.

Nothing changes in Petrusiava until they give such a total, as I see the value. The main center without competition. Partisan with Daivis and Jones looks difficult for defense. Petrusev is in good form with 14, 25, 18 points, I am looking forward to about 15 points.

Never had such a high line in 10 rounds. Nedovic's absence allowed Codi to get over time and minutes, but now Nedovic is coming back. Out of 10 races, Peru only won 3 times. The derby will be intense, I hope for a tense game.

Here I must try with the NOP center. It's safer to bet on the 9.5 total, but it's not a huge one that Missi could collect. The Pelicans will play without a plethora of players, so this rookie will have opportunities to show himself. Plus, he gets around 20 minutes and although he doesn't make many shots, he has an average of 6+ points. Today, I'm expecting an over in both minutes and performance during the game.

No matter how I look at it, I don't see Paris losing over 5 points in overtime. Efes surprises me this season because I was sure they would have a tragic season and not make it to the top 10, but it seems they have exceeded their own expectations. Paris is a true gift in the Euroleague, watching their games is a pleasure, and the fact that no one can stop that Lilliputian team makes the games even sweeter. Paris is riding a serious wave this season, with 8 consecutive wins against Alba, Basques, Partizan, Zalgiris, and a dismantled Barcelona 87-103 on the road. Efes has not shown any miracles at home this season, losing to Ulker 78-83, barely beating Oly 91-89, and falling to Barca 88-97 and Monaco 69-81. They have not covered the handicap even once.

Although the Macedonian team may not have their strongest lineup here, like some Euroleague players, the handicap appears to be very high. At least E. Happ will be present. Lithuania, of course, is a very important match, but there is a new head coach, a new staff, and not much training has been done. Playing away and I don't think it will be easy for Lithuania.

Lithuania and Žalgiris win their matches (North Macedonia - Lithuania; Žalgiris - Panathinaikos)

Without Garlando, Mitchell will be the main playmaker and the opponent will be more favorable, so Pelicans realistically won't have to face players like McCollum, Zion, Ingram, or Murray. It will be an easy walk for them, with other players being able to share the ball. Mitchell has played 28 games without Garlando since his arrival, and he has collected an average of 7.1 assists in those games. A total of 4.5 seems very achievable here.

Kurtinaitis and Pačesas are talking about putting pressure on the opponents and strong defense. Macedonia does not have their main leaders in the offense, and knowing how strong Lithuania's defense is, I hope for very few points from the Macedonians. Also, Lithuania's offense is not shining through these windows, so I think we can expect a total under or even purely focus on the Macedonian under.

One of the teams collecting points in Euroleague plays against each other. Fenerbahce plays especially poorly in attacking matches, while Virtus is very unpredictable and although the team sometimes shines in attack, I expect slow and clumsy basketball, as it is clear - the under.

Zvezda not only has the number of Partizan, but is also a more solid team this season. They have won all 7 matches against Partizan this year, of course it helps that almost all of them were played at home. Zvezda has not shown as impressive form as in the beginning of the season, but overall, there were many good performances even in defeats, except for the last game against Asvel. Partizan is currently tragically lost in 6 consecutive games, and last week they even lost both matches at home, including against Milano. In short, I believe that Zvezda's solid team and home court advantage will handle the guests here.

No matter how strange it may sound, the Bulls this season are one of the 3 Eastern teams with a positive away record (5-4) only behind Boston and Cleveland. Both the Knicks and the Bucks have already beaten them in their home arena, and the handicap is significant because the Bucks this season are just weak, despite winning some recent games, especially against Pistons and Rockets. Until the Coach is replaced, and his assistant, I believe the Bucks will continue to play unstably, as they have both Dame and Giannis, while the coaching staff is one of the worst in the league, and the team around them is weak. I think Chicago could also take advantage of this situation.

This year's Rockets team seems to be a playoff contender, as they were one of the most improved teams last year. They have taken another step forward this year. Their recent record of 10-5 includes a string of five wins in a row, and they had a chance to make it six, but unfortunately lost to the Bucks. They are strong at home, with a record of 5 wins and 4 losses, and a double-digit lead, which is better than their home record from last season. In the West, they have an overall record of 33-16. On the other hand, the Pacers have not been playing well after a good start to the season. They only seem to perform well at home. Haliburton is not playing at an All-Star level and they also have injuries to Nembhard, Jackson, and Nesmith, which has affected their rotation. As a result, they have struggled on the road with only 2 wins out of 8 games, and only one win since their opening game, with losses to Toronto, Charlotte, and New Orleans. Turner returning to the lineup will help, but it may not change the outcome. The Rockets are simply better at the moment and I believe they can easily defeat the Pacers.

I don't understand why the coefficient is moving towards Zalgiris' side, but after last week, I am already burying Zalgiris' season in Euroleague and don't believe in this team anymore. The reason is obvious, the excessive trust in Walker by the coach. This player cannot start in the starting five for the game, as it throws off the team's balance. A player like Walker should only be allowed on the court when the game is not a team game, instead of destroying the team game from the start of the game. But I suspect there is a contractual clause that says Walker will start in Euroleague or at least there is a verbal promise from the coach. There is not much to say about PAO, they have an advantage in all positions against Zalgiris. Against an injured Fene Zalgiris managed to win, but I don't see any chances against PAO.
