In a game that we kind of expected, Efes experienced its first defeat in the tournament against Monaco in overtime with 95-92. He could have walked away with the victory in regular time if a clean foul (as admitted by the euroleague) was called on Misic just seconds before the end and with the score tied. Clyburn and Misic scored 47 of their team's 92, showing they are in very good form. Larkin is the only absentee for another match.
On the other hand, Valencia has not started well counting already 2 home defeats against teams (Basconia, Villerban) that are not considered top shelf. Not even in the Spanish league is it better, having 2 close defeats against Bilbao and Murcia. Rivero, who was one of the team's best in the last matches, is absent.
summarizing I think it will be a pointless match as Valencia is not the team that tries to destroy the opponent's game and usually follows the pace of opponents. I expect Over the match with the 2 teams having the three points as their first concern. The first 2 competition they have shot together 105 !!! three points hitting 36. I expect something similar in today's game.
The point I choose is ... Over 155.5 pts & Over 17.5 tr. into a bet builder in total odds 2.42 at stoiximan.
