Tofas vs PAOK: Analysis and Prediction – Tofas and PAOK will play an FIBA Champions League game.
Tofas vs PAOK Odds
Tofas Team News
Tofas enters this duel after losing to Galatasaray awa 95:76, in a game in which Austin Wiley scored 16 points, along with 12 by Zeljko Sakic. Now the team from Bursa faces a rematch against PAOK, which they outplayed away in the first game of the play in by a convincing 95:63, thanks to 21 points from Marcus Denmon and 17 points from Cassius Winston.
Tofas entered this season ambitiously, to make the best possible result, both in the Turkish Super League and in the FIBA Champions League. In the domestic competition, Tofas is not doing badly, as this team is eighth with a score of 7-8 and has recorded quality games, mostly relying on offensive performance, more than defensive. However, against better rivals, they did not manage to come up with surprises, even though they have names like Cassius Winston, who until recently was a EuroLeague player. With this team, you always know where you stand. They will win against worse, but they won’t be able to do much against better teams.
It is clear that Tofas lacks the quality and the way to respond both defensively and offensively to better rivals. So far, it has not succeeded, which indicates that an even more organized game is needed and that this team plays with pure quality.
PAOK Team News
PAOK is on a three-game losing streak, the last of which came against Maroussi in the Greek League with 85:79. Before that, in the aforementioned duel against Tofas, this team had no chance, and the only ones who were noticeable in the defeated team were Andrew Harrison with 16 points and Laurynas Beliauskas with 13 points.
PAOK is playing according to expectations and according to the very modest budget it has. Even in the domestic league, things are not going well, since the black and whites are only in seventh place with a score of 6-7. If a team in the weak Greek League is not able to provide better games, it is completely clear that it has nothing to look for in the European competition, where it meets much better rivals. Apart from Andrew Harrison, PAOK simply has nothing to harm any serious opponent. Accordingly, the ambitions of this club cannot be high, because game after game the lack of serious organization is shown.
What PAOK should definitely improve is their offensive production, given that they are one of the worst offensive teams in the Greek League. All of this points to the weakness of this team, which needs to find a way to make its game look more fluid.
