**** Zalgiris at home and with their experience can win one way or the other to get the qualification. KK does not have much stress and we should be careful especially with the gaps Zalgiris has especially against the zone. With 8-10 p we don’t bother, nor with the 1.10 and 1.15! No Bet.

Panathinaikos 91-75
** CSKA has absences and Malaga is complete plays at home and with good psychology can win the game and break the CSKA’s undefeated course. CSKA even with Panathinaikos played only one good half. Not worth the 1.50 as CSKA is indifferent. The home team perhaps with 4p but still not convinced and we should avoid it. No Bet.

** Panathinaikos is not tired at all from Monday’s game but what incentive do they have now? Perhaps getting revenge for their defeat in Germany. Bamberg believes in qualification? Not really and they will be tired. Panathinaikos owes a good game, its about time and we can go with him at -11.
Prokom – Siena

Olimpija 63-57 L
Galatasaray 67-63
Barcelona 77-74
** This is an indifferent game and maybe a bad one. Prokom with the defense of Siena will not score 55p. But is Siena going to play all out? With so many injuries, why… kill themselves in an indifferent game and with 1.30 do not tangle. With 143 points is reasonably under since the Polish team plays also good defense. Just beware that due to indifference of the teams the game may be an open one. Logically, however, we go with 143 that makes sense.
Barcelona – Galatasaray
Barcelona (last results)
Siena 92-75

Prokom 78-76 (Fri.)
Unics Kazan 61-72
Siena 63-67
Olimpija L 80-59
** That game is solely up to Barcelona. Which however has moaning and its not playing well at all. But it’s time for a good game and owes an outbreak even without Navarro. Galata will hardly score 60-65p. we take the home team at -14 and logically under with 143 unless the rhythm opens.
Olimpija L. – Unics Kazan

Prokom 68-41
* This is another game that will be a low quality unless Unics is relaxed due to qualification and indifference. But they have learned to play, slow basketball. Olimpija will hardly score 60p? With 1.20 we don’t tangle ever for the win and handicap. Olimpija without stress can make those threes even with the second unit as it is indeed an indifferent game. In Euroleague with 1.20 will NEVER bet! Logical the under at 139-140p here since Olimpija will score 55-60p.
