We have a game today in the OAKA indoor arena where Panathinaikos welcomes Zalgiris.
From a strange week comes Panathinaikos who after the defeat with their hands down in the postponement with Villeurbanne went and won Armani in Milan and even returning from a difference of 15 points. The protagonists of this victory are Papapetrou, Nedovic and Mitoglou, while White followed them, who reached the limits of the double-double with 9 points and 10 rebounds. This year's Panathinaikos is low in the standings because it usually does not take things from the bench. When some more help the usual suspects then Panathinaikos can become competitive even with budget teams. There are no problems in the competition as the only doubtful August does not have a substantial participation.
On the other hand, Zalgiris has turned the initial impressive 5-1 into 5-7, reaching 6 consecutive defeats. There are offensive issues for the Lithuanians and when the three-pointers stopped coming in, the defeats follow one another. Maybe the right planning was not done and the team was formed quickly, as a result of which it is now going through a period of a big "belly". The now famous Garino and Bastouria are absent.
summarizing I believe that Panathinaikos will be able to redeem today the victory over Armani and start building a streak that will give him confidence for the sequel as it is a new team forged by the victories. Finds an opponent on a bad moon and the "must" must make it a reality. Along with the Over as the 2 teams like to play fast especially when conditions allow.
The point I choose is ... Panathinaikos (-2.5 & Over 155.5 pts) in performance 3.07 at stoiximan.
