Barcelona - Monaco 1 (-3.5 & under 168.5) The team of Barcelona is in an exceptional situation, since after winning the Spanish cup against Andorra, very important victories in the Euroleague followed. The dominance in Madrid with 86-68 against Real and the 2-pointer in Kazan, testifies that Jasikevicius and his team at the end of the regular season of the Euroleague want to remain in the top positions and with an absolute advantage in the play offs that will follow. Laprovitola and Kalathis have significantly increased in their performance after his return, while Mirotic is always stable and positive. The only problems with absences are Higgins (who will be missing all year) and Oriola. Exum seems to be slowly adapting.
With its eyes turned to the decision of the organizers for the Russian teams, it is Monaco which, after its latest positive results, is glancing at the octave. The last victory over Fenerbahce came relatively easily with the final score 92-78 to prove it, since from the second period onwards it was not particularly threatened. Sasa Obradovic knows very well that the game with Barcelona is extremely difficult to win, but I think he will once again present a very good image as a team because this year he chases most of its games to the end and is very tough. The only problems with absences are Andusic and Bacon.
For these reasons, I believe that Barcelona has the first reason to dominate the game, but it must also prove it on the floor. Saras knows very well that in order for the positive result to come, he will have to limit Monaco defensively with a greater emphasis on James's marking. I give a great chance to Barcelona to win with at least four points and not to enter the game more than 169 points
so our proposition is 1 (-3.5 & under 168.5) with odds of 1.70
