Asteras is on a five-game winning streak and rightfully so, it is one of the most established teams in the league. In the last one, he won at the home of the hated Partizan, showing that with the addition of Vildosa and the return of Nedovic (he scored the winning basket) and the change of coach, he has leveled up and with the current performances he is even hitting 8th. Mitrovic is doubtful, Radulica is back and Ivanovic is definitely out.
On the other hand, Zalgiris has made quite a remarkable progress so far, but the roster is poor, as a result of which it does not have a stable performance. He easily lost the last two at home against Panathinaikos and Efes, showing several weaknesses. It bets on the combativeness of its players, but this alone is often not enough. There are many problems as Lekavitsos, Kalnietis and Brasdekis are not on the mission.
The hosts are clear favourites and with the guest's absences, the gap opens up more. although in general most of Astera's victories are by very small margins today I think it will reach at least the edges of 10 points. Along with Vildosa's Over who is consistently one of the best in the team taking a large part of the attacks while offering both rebounds and assists. Today's line has surpassed it by 3/4 lately.
The point I choose is ... Q. Asteras (-4.5 pts) & Bulldozer Over 21.5 (pts,reb,as) into a bet builder in total odds 2.72 at stoiximan.
