Rolands Smits – Under 9.5 points Odds: 1.87
Anadolu Efes will host Real Madrid, which automatically means the Istanbul team’s big men will face a very difficult challenge. One of them is Rolands Smits, who cannot be described as playing at a particularly high level this season. He gets plenty of minutes, but the main reason for that is Efes’ serious problems at the center position, which Smits – naturally a power forward – is now often forced to cover. He hasn’t been very aggressive, and his shooting hasn’t been reliable, so our prediction is that he won’t be able to surpass the given line.
Jaylen Hoard – Under 14.5 points Odds: 1.87
Maccabi Tel Aviv, one of the biggest disappointments of the season so far, is heading into a very difficult road game against Zalgiris. Jaylen Hoard, who is an important piece for the Israeli team, is coming off an injury, and it’s unrealistic to expect him to be at his maximum in this matchup. Additionally, he has struggled to establish any kind of consistency, mainly because Maccabi is filled with individual scorers who don’t allow him to step into a leading role. On top of that, it’s clear he will be a focal point of Zalgiris’ defense, so our prediction is that he will not be able to surpass the given line.
The impression is that Monaco is slowly finding its rhythm, as they followed up two losses in Belgrade with two very convincing wins – first against Asvel, and then against Anadolu Efes. It’s clear that Mike James is once again the team’s leader this season. He’s playing at a very high level and has complete freedom on offense, often taking a huge number of shots per game. In addition, the matchup against Paris will certainly be played at a fast pace, which should suit him well. Just a few days ago, he scored 32 points against this same opponent, so we expect him to deliver another strong performance and surpass the given line.
Wade Baldwin – Under 13.5 points Odds: 1.87
Fenerbahce will try to extend its five-game winning streak, but that won’t be easy at all, as they are visiting Olympiacos. Wade Baldwin, who was expected to take over the leadership role for Fenerbahce this season, simply hasn’t been able to find consistency, especially when it comes to scoring. He has been struggling with his shooting percentages, and it often happens that he shifts his focus to creating for his teammates instead. In addition, we expect Olympiacos to assign their best defenders specifically to Baldwin, so our prediction is that he will not score more than 13 points in Piraeus.
Bayern will try to break its streak of poor results in a tough road game in Belgrade against Partizan. The Serbian team has been one of the weakest defenses in the entire EuroLeague this season, and we expect the Bavarians to take advantage of that. First and foremost, Spencer Dinwiddie, who has taken over the leadership role since arriving in Munich. He has complete freedom on offense, and we expect the atmosphere in Belgrade to motivate him even more, so our prediction is that he will manage to surpass the given line.
