Here are Eurohoops tips not only for the game results but also about the specific player bets who are deserving your attention.
CSKA Moscow – Khimki Moscow Region
CSKA is favorite, they have the home court advantage and despite missing Kyle Hines, they are simply the better team. On the other hand, there’s a high 11,5 points handicap and that may deserve some risk. What’s much more interesting is the – 5,5 halftime handicap for CSKA Moscow (1,75 at OPAP). At player bets, Nando De Colo’s over 16,5 points is also worth picking up.
Olympiacos Piraeus – Zalgiris Kaunas
Despite losing both games in the regular season, the Reds have the experience and the home court advantage. Still, they are expected to miss key players and we expect a really close game. That’s why Zalgiris losing by less than 6,5 points is worth betting on (1,75 at OPAP).
It’s the most difficult couple for any prediction. However, with Campazzo and Llull out, picking Luka Doncic to be the top scorer of Real Madrid makes more than sense (2,35 at OPAP). He is expected to play near or more than 30 minutes, he will take shots and after all, per average, he is the top scorer of both teams.
Fenerbahce Dogus – Baskonia
Fenerbahce is expected to win Game 1, that does not pay much (1,20 at OPAP), but it can be combined with another bet and help increase a possible profit.
