Basconia (-5.5) - Maccabi Tel Aviv

The regular season of the Euroleague is coming to an end with 7 of the 8 playoff teams already known. The last place will be judged between Basconia and Maccabi with the guests being in a very difficult position as to qualify they will have to make 2/2 in the remaining games and at the same time Baskonia will be defeated at home by the indifferent Efes. The Basques, however, play amazing basketball in March, are considered the most trained team in Europe and spread terror in their passage with 9 consecutive victories, all with double-digit points difference. In fact, if we isolate the Spaniards' home games, one can see that they have 9 consecutive victories with an average difference of 21,6 points, while the smallest victory was 87-77 against Kimki. The amazing course of Baskonia can bring it well above the 8th place since if it makes 2/2 it is very likely to reach up to 6th, avoiding the giants Tska and Fener, since it is superior in all the draws with Zalgiris and Kimki. The hosts are currently the black horse of the race and no one wants to cross paths with them in the playoffs. Maccabi, on the other hand, had the luck in its hands but the very bad image of the last period and the 5 defeats in 6 matches minimized the hopes of qualifying and brought the first complaints. Reports from Israel speak of great dissatisfaction of the administration with the face of the coach and the players with the developments expected soon. Qualifying hopes can not be described as realistic as Basconia will have to lose twice in a row at home, in which it dragged half of Europe. In summary, Basconia, being the most formed team in Europe, welcomes the problematic Maccabi and with a victory secures the 8th, aiming for even higher. The momentum is clear with the hosts and with the line at 5.5 points I consider it a betting opportunity. Ace with over 5 points at odds of 1.90 by stoiximan.
