After a good start with 2/3 predictions in Game 1, our betting column hopes to continue its streak.
We expect that Panathinaikos will bounce back after the bad Game 1 and in any case the Greens will be ready for a fight. That’s why they can get the break, or at least defend the 6 points handicap.
In Moscow, CSKA got the win, but Crvena Zvezda put the pressure to the hosts. We expect a similar game, an even better CSKA and despite the fact that for the first time after nine home games the hosts scored 84 points over the Serbs, we think that they can do even better, scoring more than 89,5 points.
On the contrary the game between Lokomotiv and Barcelona will be a dogfight. As we expected, Barcelona couldn’t score more than 72 points (the final score was 66-61). However, Barcelona had 13 possesions more than Lokomotiv, they will try to improve their shot efficiency and that’s why we expect both teams to score in total more than 142 points.
