The playoffs in Spain are getting under way and the betting interest is on the rise. The games throughout Europe are consecutive and Eurohoops suggests points from Spain, Greece and Germany.
The pair Malaga-Laboral concerns two teams that are coming from a bad close to the season despite the fact that throughout the biggest part of it they had very good results. Malaga lost the first place in the 28th week and plummeted to third because of the five defeats in their last six games (the only win was in overtime against Bilbao in the final game). Respectively, Laboral also has three defeats in the last five games. The Basques however showed that they are in better condition and they can definitely put up some resistance and lose with a margin smaller than 5,5 points.
Already from the first game Olympiacos showed that they can defeat Aris with a big differential and Aris’s line up will not include Naymick and Adegboye once again. The “red-and-whites” are not going to let up and so even if the point differential does not reach +45 like it did in the first game, they can still win with a differential that’s higher than 27 points.
In the second game of the German semifinals, we are going to follow the… beaten path with Bayern and Alba. As we did in the first game, we are going to place our bets on the Under. Besides, in the four out of the five games between them this year less than 152,5 points were scored in total.
