Postponed match for the 24th match with Zalgiris to welcome the Red Star.
For about 13 'Zalgiris was competitive in Barcelona and until halftime we can say that it kept the difference in reversible frames as it was at -11 (48-37) as it could somewhat follow the attack as the defense had a serious problem . From the beginning of the 3rd period, Zalgiris got stuck and aggressively scored only 10 points and fatally the difference took huge proportions. The relaxation of the home team in the last period did not let the difference grow even more. Characteristic of offensive difficulty is that no player became double-digit with Lovern and Rubit trying a little harder than the others. The match problems for the hosts seem to be over as Lekavitsous is expected to return after Vastourias.

On the other hand, Asteras, despite the important absences, was very competitive and made it difficult for Zenit, which finally left victorious with a three-pointer by the excellent Pangos at the end and after Lloyd lost a layup in the next attack. The huge absences remain for the Serbs who will play again without Hall, Walden, Colom in the periphery and without Noko and Rith under the basket and Obraiad who left the team.
Summing up I think It is difficult for Asteras to withstand a second consecutive game with so many absences as the style of the home team that at the first opportunity runs in the open field does not suit him, something that Zenit did not do. Low the Over and I will honor it as I do not think the home team can be found again in such a bad offensive night.
The point I choose is ... Zalgiris (-5.5 & Over 146.5 pts) in performance 2.32 at stoiximan.
