EUROPE: Euroleague

Finally Euroleague playoffs! So excited to see these games.

At the moment I thinking about CSKA - Khimki over 166.5 because they have a lot of good scorers and I don't think that we need to talk that they will play slowly on playoffs games. Yes Khimki are more defensive minded but CSKA cannot play slow and it shouldn't be any difference.

Pao - Real looks unpredictable at the moment and I will wait until the evening and how the odds would move on.

We will see a good fight between Olympiakos and Zalgiris today. K.Papanikolaou will miss this match but I don't think that this fact will impact the result. Zalgiris won twice against Oly this season but the last game of the regular season didn't mean anything for both teams. However, I think that this match will be close and Zalgiris will give everything on the court but Oly has more experience and they should win this game but not by more than 10 points. Defense should dominate in this game, so I think it is worth to take total under.

What do you guys think about the game between Fenerbahce and Baskonia? I was impressed how Baskonia played at the second half of the season but then they lost against Efes at home... However, I think that Baskonia is going to fight hard and they can even win the series, they just need some luck, so why not.... It is hard to predict because it is a first match but I think the game should be effective and we can take over. I don’t believe that Fene is going to smash their opponents, so it is worth to try Baskonia + handicap or Baskonia team over.

Real Madrid should play better this time. I don't think that Panathinaikos is going to dominate from the beginning of the game as they did in the first match. However, Pao is playing confidently and they should win after a harder fight today in front of their fans and make these series 2-0. However, I think that CSKA is going to have one more hard game again. Khimki will not give up.

You were right. I don't had time to write review about that game but I was about total over in this game.

Today is more than interesting evening and I giving more chances today for Baskonia handicap as they should be feel more relaxed after the 1st game.

Meanwhile in Greece match between Olympiakos - Zalgiris. Still I see more value picking up the Zalgiris than the Olympiakos and of course after previous match and overtime the under still looks good.

I agree with you about the under. However, I underestimated Zalgiris in the first game of the series because I thought that they can win three times in a row against the same team. And you know what... I think the same this time. I really don't believe that Zalgiris can win 4 times against Olympiakos in a row. We also need to remember that it will be the third away game. I think Oly should be angry after their last defeat and they will play differently this time. I don't want to predict about the game between Fenerbahce and Baskonia. I think that Baskonia will fight hard but it will not be enough again. However, the difference of points shouldn't be high.

Baskonia is going to play at home this time and I think they can win one game of the series. I think it is worth to take Baskonia +handicap it is a safer choice but if you want to risk, you can take their victory. However, I will pass the game between Zalgiris and Olympiakos because I really don't know what to expect.

What do you pick up for today? I saw that bookmakers give even +8 handicap for Panathinaikos and I think it is worth to risk and take it. I don't believe that Real can smash their opponents today. However, I think that match should be close and we will need the whole 5 games in these series.

The hardest evening for Euroleague playoffs prediction personally. It looks crazy seeing Pao handicap +7 but the way Real Madrid plays in home this handicap not looking so good. Lull are coming back and Pao always were much more stronger in home. Total too high to take over but also no value I under from what I saw in these first two games.

Khimki - CSKA. Probably the best choice to take Khimki money line and that's it because whatever players are injured in CSKA (for example now hunter, nando de colo, kyle hines altought he defensive minded) they still playing fast basketball. But I would not bet over here because of that but neither I see big value on under. Maybe the live betting for total on this game could be best decision.

The time to finish the series I think that about both matches.

Zalgiris looks stronger team in all aspects and overplaying Olympiacos also tactically and there you don't need to overthink about any previous situations, history or somethink like that. Don't need to talk about much unless you didn't watch any match. So my pick Zalgiris -4. Total it's too low for under so maybe I will take small bet on over or will wait until live to get higher total if the tempo and the gameplay would fit for me.

Baskonia had chances in this series just by outscoring turkish club and to outscore any other team it's much harder especially when you are facing Zelko Obradovic and the best defensive team in Europe. I rather choose defense over the offense and in the long run I wiill win and same with this Euroleague tournament. The defense wins the championships. My pick Fenerbahce and under 161.5
