After the successful last week with 3 out of 5 points, Eurohoops.net suggests five points for the Over and Under of teams in the fifth week of the Top 16 of the Euroleague.
In their last four games Fenerbahce have been scoring more than 84 points and they look like they’ve found a rhythm offensively for a while now. Cedevita, on the other hand, are not known for their dedication in defense and it’ll be hard for them to contain the Turks to a lower score.
Since the 16th of November, CSKA Moscow have not once scored less than 90 points at home. In a total of 18 games this year, they’ve scored less than 88 points only four times, which is the limit for the game with Bamberg. One of those times was against the German team in the first round. However, since then enough time has gone by and the home team can surely score more than 88 points once again.
Panathinaikos are coming from the defeat in the derby against Olympiacos and will try to take it out on Darussafaka. However, in no case are the “greens” expected to fully change face in terms of offense and… start throwing flames. The 79,5-point limit is quite high and will probably not be exceeded.
Zalgiris have improved a lot in their defensive commitment lately and can definitely respond on Khimki’s home court, one of the most talented teams offensively in the tournament. The limit of 83,5 points is quite high and the Russian team will probably not exceed it.
Barcelona have improved a lot offensively in their last games, upping the tempo in most games. Laboral are clearly a high-tempo team without paying particular attention to their defense. The 84,5-point limit for Barcelona, then, might not be as high as it seems.
