CSKA Moscow-Panathinaikos Athens

First Euroleague quarter-finals game.

On this game I like Panathinaikos handicap.CSKA from last 10 games more than 8 points was won 3 times.Against Partizan,Volgograd and Neptunas teams.Others games was pretty difficult.Against Lokomotiv Kuban 94-93,Krasnye Krylya 81-77,Zalgiris 88-86,Bayern 77-70,Galatasaray 86-85.Milos Teodosic is still out.

Panathinaikos in this season more than 8 points was lost only 3 times.Team dont have problems with injuries.Demonstrate one of the best defense in Europe.Almost all players are with big experience and know how to play importants games.They are these series autsaiders,dont fell any pressure.Last year team was in the same situacion against Barcelona team and demonstrate good basketball.

I expect Panathinaikos dont loose more than 8 points.

Pick: Panathinaikos+8.5

Odds: 1.97

Milano-Maccabi Tel Aviv

Pick in future.I expect Maccabi will win this series.

Both teams at home is very strong.I think Milano is little lucky, when play with strongest oponnets.Game against Real lost 71-78.After very good season start, when Real team smashed everyone at that moment when played in Milano was not the best sporting shape.Real games at that moment:

13.12.13 EUR Real Madrid Strasbourg 79 : 66

07.12.13 ACB CB Canarias Real Madrid 74 : 85

05.12.13 EUR Milano Real Madrid 71 : 78

Game against Olympiakos 81-51 probably best season game.13/21 three pointers.Olympiakos was after 11 Euroleague games wins in a row.That moment Olympiacos results:

20.01.14 BAS Panathinaikos Olympiakos 58 : 48

16.01.14 EUR Olympiakos Barcelona 72 : 81

12.01.14 BAS Panionios Olympiakos 66 : 77

09.01.14 EUR Milano Olympiakos 81 : 51

Won against Laboral Kutxa and Fenerbahce teams.But these teams this season dont demonstrate good basketball.

Won against Barcelona 91-63.Not important game for Barcelona and bad sporting shape at that moment.

10.04.14 EUR Barcelona Laboral Kutxa 86 : 97

06.04.14 ACB Zaragoza Barcelona 85 : 79

02.04.14 EUR Milano Barcelona 91 : 63

Captain Alessandro Gentile will miss the first two games.

Maccabi players have more experience, better coach.

Of course Armani is very strong team ,but I expect Maccabi will win two games at home and one time in Milano.

Pick: Maccabi wil win series against Milano

Sitas idomus pasirinkimas, daug kas galvoja imti minusine CSKA :)

Real Madrid-Olympiacos Piraeus

Second Euroleague's quarter-finals game. First game Real won 88-71.

Today I would like bet on Olympiacos handicap. Real look great in first game. Hited some difficult shot, S.Mejri score first three point in this season. Today I expect much better defense from Olympiakos. In first game they played fast basketball and I expect they understood that they don't have any chances to play "run and gun" style with Real team in Madrid. Olympiacos is still Euroleague champions and team is wise. In this season, more than 10 points Olympiacos has lost only two times.

I expect Olympiacos won't loose more than 10 points.

Pick: Olympiacos+10

CSKA Moscow-Panathinaikos

Second Euroleague's quarter-finals game.First game CSKA won 77-74.

In first game I was with Panathinaikos, today I'll go with CSKA.

I think after very difficult first game today it will be easier for CSKA to win the game. Big advantage on CSKA from psichological side. Panathinaikos had big chances to win but CSKA was better at the end of game. Today they play at home again and should win. In first game, I don't like Panathinaikos offense position. For 15-20 seconds they do nothing and last seconds trying to score. CSKA fights for rebounds much better.E.Messina much better coach than A.Alvertis.

Pick: CSKA Moscow-6

Union Olimpija-Zlatorog Lasko

Slovenian basketball league game.

Union Olimpija now is only 4 place in group.Team recently time dont demonstrate good basketball, but game against Zlatorog Lasko good opportunity to take a win.Union Olimpija is home team,at home balance 17/25.Team lost last 2 home games,and today I expect team will be very focus on this game.

Zlatorog Lasko at guest dont demonstrate good basketball,this season balance 3/12.

Teams was met one time this season and Union Olimpija at guest won 90-60.

I expect Union Olimpija at home will win more than 8 points.

Pick: Union Olimpija-8.5

CAI Zaragoza-Unicaja Malaga

On this game I like Unicaja.CAI Zaragoza at home demonstrate not bad basketball,this season at home balance 15/22.13 from 15 won games they was favorit of game.From 22 games ( at home ) 19 times they was favorit, lost 7 times.G.Shermadini leave a team.At this moment demonstrate wavy game.

Unicaja at this moment demonstrate good sporting shape.From last 5 games won 4.Won against Laboral Kutxa,Milano teams.Last game against Bilbao won 109-74.Team finish performance in Euroleague, focus on ACB league.All players are healthy.

CAI Zaragoza in this season two time won against Unicaja in Malaga.3rd time in a row won against Euroleague level team is difficult.I think Unicaja players need revenge

I expect Unicaja team will win more than 2 points.

Pick: Unicaja-1.5

Bookmaker: Pinnacle

League: ACB

Chicago Bulls-Washington Wizards

On this game I like Bulls team. Both teams recently time demonstrate good sport shape. Chicago Bulls at home won 8 times from last 10 games. I really like Bulls game in the second half of the season. 2014 years at home balance 20/27. Lost against Top teams: Thunder, Spurs, Clippers. Demonstrates one of the best defense in NBA league (averaged oppenents score 91.8).

I think for M.Gortat and Nene who is back in action after injury in offense will be very difficult play against J.Noah, C.Boozer and T.Gibson. Bulls key players has more experience. T.Thibodeau is better coach than R.Wittman. Last time in Chicago won Wizards 102-88 but last these teams game in Washington won Bulls 96-78.

I expect Bulls at home will win more than 4 points.

Pick: Chicago Bulls-4.5

On this game I like M.Conley points over.N.Calathes is suspended by league,B.Udrich is not very important players and coach dont trust him.M.Conley dont have concurent in point guard position.In first game played 39 minutes and score 16 points.Field goal only 6/16,three pointers 0/6.I expect he will play about 40 minutes and if shooting accuracy will not be very bad ,he score more than 17 points.

Khimik-Donetsk

Bulls-Wizards

At first game against Wizards team T.Thibodeau use only 8 players, without N.Mohhamed who played only 2min.J.Butler is very important player in coach system.He is only one real swingman position player in team.First game J.Butler played longest in team (44min) and score 15 points.

I expect he will play about 40 minutes and if shooting accuracy will not be very bad, he score more than 13 points.

Pick: J.Butler over 13.5

BC Khimki Moscow-Unics Kazan

Second Russian cup semifinal game.First one Unics won 76-59.

Today I like total points over.Khimki have 17 deficit and will try get in finall.

I expect the same scenario like with Valencia.After first lost game in Valencia 75-59, at home Khimki play much faster basketball and at home won 97-82.In first game teams demonstrate bad shooting accuracy.Chimki two points 14/41 three points 6/17.M.Green 1/8,K.Loncar 3/14,P.Koponen 4/12,M.Popovic 0/4.Unics 6/21 three pointers.

Khimki at home play much better in offensive,Unics at guest not so good in defense like at home.Both teams have big potencial in offensive.

I expect tems will score more than 146 points.

Pick: Over 146

Panathinaikos Athens-CSKA Moscow

CSKA lost 3rd game in Athens 65-59.

Today Im with CSKA team.CSKA very bad start game,first quarter Panathinaikos won 20-11.CSKA was not prepaid for big Panathinaikos start.After first quarter CSKA won 48-45.They still have chance win,then 37min,lead 59-58.

59 points in one game is worst season result.I see more reserves on CSKA side.Today I expect CSKA players will be ready for game start.CSKA with K.Hines,N.Krstic and V.Khryapa should better fight for rebound.K.Hines in 3rd game 16min and 0 rebound,N.Krstic 23min ,only 3 reb.Panathinaikos make 13 offensive rebounds.E.Messina is better coach then F.Alvertis and I think will prepaid team for today game.

CSKA is better team,have more reserves and I expect will win today.

Pick: CSKA Moscow

Olympiacos Piraeus-Real Madrid

Real lost 3rd game 78-76.

Today I expect Real Madrid will win more than 2 points.

Trabzonspor-Galatasaray

On this game I like bet on Galatasaray.Team finished performance in Euroleague.Galatasaray is only in 7 place in group,all focus on turkish league.Team lost last 5 games in Turkish league,then they played away.7 place in group means that in playoff probably will fight with Fenerbahce,team should be focus how increase place in group.C.Arroyo,M.Bonsu will play.

Trabzonspor team is in 12 place in group and have only theoretical chance get in playoff.At home balance 6/13.This season at home never won ,than they was autsaider.

Very interesting game in Lithuanian basketball league.Principal game against best Lithuanian teams.If Zalgiris lost ,they will be 4 place in group and in semifinall will met with Lietuvos Rytas.Zalgiris will be very motivated.Lietuvos Rytas guaranted first place in group.A lot of people bet on Zalgiris ,but I like total points over.Zalgiris with strongest teams play much motivated and scoring more points.From last 10 games at home with strongest teams all times score more than 155 points.

Turner filed goal 1/4,E. Turner 2/6,G. Hill 1/11,R. Hibbert 2/9,P. George 3/11.In third game Hawks hitted some lucky shots.
