Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Baskonia Odds
Maccabi Tel Aviv Team News
Maccabi Tel Aviv retained the core of the team from last season and it looked like this season could be even better than last season, with Oded Kattash’s side reaching the playoffs after several seasons in which Maccabi Tel Aviv looked nothing like the multiple champions of Europe.
However, some other circumstances prevented this team from being at an even higher level. It refers to the political situation in Israel, because of which Maccabi Tel Aviv is having problems, because it lost its home field and plays games in Belgrade. It was a big blow for the team, whose biggest strength is that, but on the one hand, Kattash’s team managed to deal with those difficulties and record quite solid results. Currently, Maccabi Tel Aviv is in the eighth position with 8-6 and in the introduction before this duel, it was better than Anadolu Efes, precisely in Belgrade 95:86.
In that game, Lorenzo Brown was the most notable with 21 points, while Bonzie Colson added 19 points. It was enough for another excellent offensive performance by Maccabi Tel Aviv, which breaks down the resistance of its rivals in just that way.
Baskonia Team News
Baskonia plays like a reborn, since Dusko Ivanovic took over the team. In the last nine EuroLeague rounds, this team has won seven times and is one of the teams with the best form in the elite competition.
It seems that now Baskonia is playing beyond the real possibilities, because on paper, the team from Vitoria is not a team that belongs to the group of the eight best in Europe. Baskonia is now sixth, with a score of 8-6, but does not enter this match in a good mood, considering that it lost to Virtus by 91:81. That result does not reflect how uncertain the game was at one point, in which Baskonia could easily have won. However, that didn’t happen, as Marco Belinelli hit two key 3-pointers.
The best for Baskonia in that match were Chima Moneke with 16 points and Maik Kotsar with 13. The center line was not enough to outplay the Virtus back line. Despite this, Baskonia can be satisfied with what has been done so far in the EuroLeague.
