For Panathinaikos, the game against Sarunas Jasikevicius’ team is a must-win, since the two teams have exactly the same record right now and Zalgiris has won at OAKA in the first round.
Read our betting tips below:
Zalgiris – Panathinaikos, Nate Wolters Over 9.5 / 1.83
Wolters showed signs of recovery almost touching the triple-double in the previous domestic league game. Of course, the level in Lithuania is much lower than the Euroleague, but a player can easily find his way through easy games and be good afterwards in even more difficult games. He can easily find 5 shots and confirm the over.
Gran Canaria – Fenerbahce, Gran Canaria Under 77.5 / 1.80
Gran Canaria is in a very poor condition and remains to the bottom of the standings and its image so far shows no signs of improvement. If Fenerbahce is serious then it will be difficult for GranCa to score more than 77 points. Under 77.5 against one of Europe’s best defenses is worth it and it can be put into a bulletin.
Baskonia – Olimpia Milano Over 165.5 / 1.73
Baskonia, despite injury problems, has managed to get results that hold them at bay for qualifying to the quarterfinals. Both teams are by nature aggressive and like high-stakes games. We are therefore expecting a high score of over 165.5.
Efes – Darussafaka, Rodrigues Beaubois Over 11.5 / 1.78 OAPP
Efes will easily or hardly get to win. Our attention is directed to player bets and more specifically to over 11.5 of Beaubois, who can find 6 shots in about 22 minutes. In such a game, there is always the possibility of a great turnaround if the difference quickly increases to a very high deficit and the game becomes totally indifferent from the first half. It is worth the risk, so we include it in our choices.
Options:
1. Gran Canaria U 77.5 / 1.80
2. Baskonia – Armani Milan Over 165.5 / 1.73
3. Wolters Over 9.5 / 1.83
4. Beaubois Over 11.5 / 1.74
