Olympiakos - Zalgiris (+6.5 & -158.5 pts)

A very important game is played at the SEF where Olympiacos welcomes Zalgiris.

Where he showed signs of life in the game with Bayern, Olympiacos came the very ugly defeat by the indifferent Grand Canaria, and he got involved after the victory with Zalgiris is now one-way. The Reds were bad but they closed the half with only 10 points difference and all hoped that another team would be presented in the second half. This has never happened and Gran Canaria with 3 contiguous three-pointers at the beginning of the third 10 minute reached the difference at 20 points and somewhere there was a sad ceremony when Olympiacos did not have the mental reserves to react. Now he runs and must to exaggerate himself as Zalgiris is always difficult to change and in great form. He will necessarily have to play the game near the racket to take advantage of Milutinov's overpower. At his headquarters he has a record of 9-4 scoring 82 and accepting 78 points per game. Agravanis returned, but Spanoulis and Strelenice remain the two best guards. 

On the other Zalgiris is probably going through the best form from the beginning of the season with 4 consecutive wins. In the last one they managed an easy victory over the crowd Darussafa after they had locked the victory in half. The key, however, was the previous match where they won in Tel Aviv Maccabi and it was the victory that put her on the bridle of qualification. Another team may have quit, since the program is very difficult at the end but we know from previous years that the team and coach refuse to lose and fight all the games. If there were not even the mid-season injuries that, as I rewrote, de-coordinated the team, the qualification would already be given. Outside has a record of 5-8 scoring 76.8 and accepting 78.9 points per game. He will be the precious Giankouna but he has returned for about 10 days about Kavaliauskas who is among the few who have the body to limit Milutinov.

summarizing I think the game will be a derby and will be judged by the defenses that are the strong point of both opponents. I will choose it +6.5 for Zalgiris (I'm afraid of any Olympic blackout) in combination with Under 158.5 because I think the teams will stay below their own and for the winner I think 75-78 will be enough.
