Wolves vs Rytas: Analysis and Prediction – Wolves will host Rytas in the Lithuanian League play-off semi finals game 4.
Wolves vs Rytas Odds
Wolves Team News
In the first game of this series, Wolves managed to surprise Rytas, but then suffered two consecutive losses. The second game was particularly painful, as they were humiliated in front of their home fans, losing by 38 points and trailing by as many as 43 points in the final quarter. In game three, they lost despite a strong first half.
The main problem for Wolves is that Rasheed Sulaimon is practically playing alone, as seen in game three when he scored 33 points while his teammates, much like throughout the entire series, did not perform at a high level. Jeffrey Taylor plays well in one game, but then disappears in the next few. Wolves’ problems started at the very beginning of the season when their excellent playmaker Arturs Zagars suffered a serious injury. He managed to return at the end of the season, but his performances are not at the level they should be. On top of that, Wolves are struggling with their three-point shooting percentages and seem to have no answer to the opponent’s aggressive defense.
If they want to win the game against Rytas and continue this semifinal series, the home team must deliver a significantly better performance than in the last two games. Most importantly, someone needs to step up alongside Sulaimon, as he cannot do it all by himself.
Rytas Team News
After losing the first game in the series, Rytas managed to turn things around. They were convincing in game two on the road, and then in game three, they secured a 2-1 lead in front of their home fans and are now seeking a place in the finals.
It is crucial for Rytas that after the loss in game one, they showed resilience and sent a clear message to their rivals. Throughout most of the season, Rytas has been defeating their opponents with an exceptional offense, averaging close to 95 points per game. In this series, they have been relatively close to that mark, largely due to scoring 113 points in game two, while they were limited to 85 and 86 points in the other two games. Marcus Foster has been the standout player for Rytas during the season, but he has been quite ineffective in this series. He only scored 18 points in game three, although he has shown he can perform much better than that during the season. For another victory, the other teammates will need to step up as well.
The direction for Rytas to follow to secure a win and a place in the league finals is clear. If Foster performs at his best, the team will be close to victory, but for that win, the rest of the team must also be at their best.
