The continuation of Euroleague's first race and the closing time game is that of Valencia, which welcomes last year's trophy winner CSKA.
Valencia is joining Euroleague this year for the 5 time as a Eurocap trophy as it has done most of the previous times. He kept the key last year and made some remarkable transitions with Australian Motum and NBA champion Jordan Lloyd first and foremost. There are certainly some players that stand out, but the roster doesn't have the depth to be able to claim something. and especially in this year's event, which is very demanding and is expected to play a secondary role like the previous 4 times that had participated in the event.
On the other hand, the CSKA has begun a renewal, and many of the protagonists last year left Moscow for other states. De Colo, Rodriguez, Higgins from the district and Hunter are no longer in the army. But of course the players who came to fill the gaps are from the top shelf, with James, Strelnijks, Hilliard taking their places in the district and Wojcman, Kufo coming to Hines' aid. If we add to them Hackett, Claiberne, Bolomboy, Vorodievich and Kurbanov then we understand why he is one of the favorites this year.
In summary I consider that despite the renewal the Russian team is a step above the stadiums and if the game hadn't been a premiere the handicap would have been much bigger.
The point I choose is ...Checkbox (-3.5) in performance 1.88 at stoiximan.
