Euroleague Preview & Tips – Round 7 – 08/11/2019
Euroleague Basketball Tips
Euro League basketball predictions appear under each mini game preview.
Fenerbahce – Bayern
Fenerbahce looks to snap a three-game slide when it hosts Bayern, which is targeting its first road victory. Despite its poor start, Fenerbahce is 1-1 at home and its lone loss in Istanbul saw it blow a late lead. Bayern started the previous week with an uplifting victory over Real Madrid before getting blown out by 33 at KIROLBET Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz.
Fenerbahce has relied heavily on lead leading scorer Nando De Colo (22.3 ppg.) to carry the offense with no other player averaging double figures in points. Coach Obradovic’s side must change that, especially with the talent level of the players on the roster. A balanced attack with four scorers in double figures would put pressure on what has been a very good Bayern defense.
Bayern has been outrebounded by a total of 27 rebounds and has shot 10 for 31 (32.2%) on threes in its two road games so far. If the German champs can improve their performance on the glass and raise their three-point numbers – Bayern is 22 for 47 (46.8%) from downtown in wins, Coach Dejan Radonjic’s side may be in position for a big road win.
Tip: 1 (-7.5) at 1.95 with bet365

Zalgiris – Barcelona
Two of the teams that went to the EuroLeague playoffs last season meet again. Barcelona comes off its first loss in the current EuroLeague season. Meanwhile, Zalgiris grabbed its first road victory in epic fashion, rallying from a seven-point deficit in the final 51 seconds to go past Fenerbahce. Zach LeDay (13.2 ppg.) is Zalgiris’s top scorer until now, followed by Marius Grigonis (12.7 ppg.) and Thomas Walkup (8.2 ppg.). Nikola Mirotic (18.3 ppg., 5.8 rpg.), Cory Higgins (11.2 ppg.) and Kyle Kuric (11.0 ppg.) have been Barcelona’s main scoring pillars until now.
Other than being backed by an extraordinary atmosphere, Zalgiris has to be more effective on offense. It ranks 14th in two-point shooting percentage (47.8%) and ties for second place in turnovers (15.0 per game). Zalgiris ties for first place in offensive rebounds (12.8 orpg.) and that will be the biggest key for the Lithuanian powerhouse – be aggressive all 40 minutes, limit turnovers and find better scoring options around the basket.
Marius Grigonis is questionable after injuring his foot last week in Istanbul. Rokas Jokubaitis is back after the wrist-injury and already had some practices with the team.
Barcelona is allowing just 72.7 points per game, limiting opponents to hit just 45.1% of its two-point shots and 33.9& of its attempts from beyond the arc. Barcelona needs to keep playing good defense, reaching out and locking the defensive board (10.3 orpg. allowed). It needs Mirotic and Davies to make the difference down low, as well as Malcolm Delaney and Adam Hanga to put pressure on Zalgiris’s point guards Alex Perez and Lukas Lekavicius.
Victor Claver will miss 4 to 6 weeks with injury, but Pau Ribas travels with the team to Kaunas, even if his playing will be a game-time decision.
Tip: 1 (+4.0) at 1.90 with bet365
(Price correct at 08/11/2019, 11:00 CET, could have changed)
Panathinaikos – Valencia
Panathinaikos (3-3) and Valencia (1-5) will try to build on their confidence-boosting victories in the last round. Panathinaikos, which is coming off a big win over Efes, has scored at least 86 points in each of its last three games, and now will try to keep the trend going against Valencia which battled to its first win of the season against ASVEL in the last round.
Panathinaikos has Nick Calathes in charge to run the offense, but for the Greens to continue to have success, they need other players to continue sharing the ball, too. No team has had more assists in the past three games than Panathinaikos’ 67, which is compared to just 40 in the first three games of the season. It resulted in the Greens averaging 87.0 points over that span, second best in the EuroLeague. Panathinaikos will need to continue that trend to help itself get to a fourth win of the season.
Valencia has struggled mightily shooting the ball from long range, ranking the bottom of the league at just 28.2%. However, in each of the two games last week, Valencia shot better than 30%, including 8-for-21 (38.1%) in a win over ASVEL. Valencia is yet to make double-digit three pointers in a game this season, and OAKA would be a good place to start and improve its chances to registered team’s first road win of this campaign.
Tip: Panathinaikos win 10-13 points margin at 6.00 with bet365
(Price correct at 08/11/2019, 11:00 CET, could have changed)
Villeurbanne – CSKA Moscow
The final tip-off of Round 7 will take place at Astroballe where LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne will look to keep its perfect home record intact when it faces the reigning EuroLeague champion, CSKA Moscow. It will be a clash of styles as ASVEL boasts one of the competition’ premier defenses, which has allowed only 68.0 points in its home games, while CSKA is tied for the league-lead in scoring with 87.0 points per game.
Even with its typically strong defense, ASVEL will need to activate its scoring and rebounding touch against CSKA. For the former, it would be an ideal time for a big game from Edwin Jackson or Rihards Lomazs. On the boards, Amine Noua and Jean Livio-Charles will need to step up. Better shooting and limiting CSKA on the glass are vital aspects for ASVEL this week.
Antoine Diot and Adreian Payne won’t be available against CSKA.
CSKA continues to be a team in transition, especially after losing Final Four MVP Will Clyburn for the season. So far, newcomers Mike James and Darrun Hilliard have stamped their names on the offense and Kyle Hines and Nikita KUrbanov have kept the defense running. In CSKA’s lone defeat, it shot poorly from outside (26.9% 3FG), allowed 14 offensive rebounds (and 15 second-chance points) and committed 12 turnovers. Those are three things that if CSKA controls, it should be in good shape.
Tip: Under 157.5 at 1.90 with bet365

Euroleague Basketball Predictions
The Euroleague continues with a double-round week and the battle for the playoffs is taking one of its final turns. So, let’s dive straight into our Euroleague picks for today’s games. Here’s a rundown of what’s coming up.
Yes, these are the best Euro League basketball tips you can possible find and appear under each mini game preview.
Maccabi – Fenerbahce
The excellent home record of Maccabi (13-13) will be put to the test when high-flying Fenerbahce (16-9) pays a visit, hoping to maintain its top-four position with a fourth straight victory. The return to fitness of Nemanja Bjelica, who finally played his first game of the season in last week’s rout of Virtus, has boosted the Turkish team. Tyler Dorsey, another new face at Fenerbahce, could make his debut in familiar surroundings after debuting in the competition with two strong seasons at Maccabi between 2019 and 2021.
2 at 1.90
Crvena Zvezda – Anadolu Efes
Efes (13-12) is looking to extend its lead in the table with a third straight road win and inflict more pain on host Zvezda (11-15), which is in a slump after losing six of its last seven games. Facundo Campazzo will make his home EuroLeague debut for Zvezda, and his ability to overcome Elijah Bryant’s strong defensive game will be crucial. In the absence of injured superstar Vasilije Micic, the Efes guard has stepped up big time, averaging 13.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in the last three games.
Under 159.5 at 1.90
Monaco – Panathinaikos
Monaco (16-10) will look to keep the pressure on the current top four by defeating Panathinaikos (8-18), which is looking to snap a five-game losing streak. A key matchup will take place between two potent shooters facing off against their former teams: Mike James, who played for Panathinaikos from 2016 to 2018, leads Monaco with 17.0 points per game, while Dwayne Bacon, who spent last season with Monaco, leads the Greens with 17.7 points.

Euroleague Basketball Predictions
The Euroleague continues with a double-round week and the battle for the playoffs is taking one of its final turns. So, let’s dive straight into our Euroleague picks for today’s games. Here’s a rundown of what’s coming up.
Yes! These are the best Euro League basketball tips you can possible find and appear under each mini game preview.
Alba Berlin – Zalgiris
With a trip to Berlin to play bottom-placed ALBA, struggling Zalgiris (13-13) will seek to improve its poor away form (7-19). The Lithuanian team has dropped out of the top eight after losing four consecutive road games, and it desperately needs to increase its offensive output after failing to reach 80 points in any of the previous eight games. ALBA should be an ideal opponent in that quest: the German team has allowed the most points, 85.3 per game, and was defeated 88-81 in November when the teams played in Kaunas.
Over 161.5 at 1.90
Olympiacos – Barcelona
As Olympiacos (18-8) welcomes Barcelona, a big battle between second and third could easily serve as a prelude to a Final Four meeting (18-8). Olympiacos is looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Milan last week, while Barcelona is on a five-game winning streak and has the added incentive of regaining the head-to-head edge after losing 70-80 at home to the Reds earlier this season. The game’s rhythm will be important: Olympiacos has the most assists in the league, 22.0 per game, while Barcelona’s defence permits only 13.4 assists per game.
2 (+3.5) at 1.90
Valencia – Milano
Milan’s (10-15) late surge up the standings will be put to the test with a journey to playoff-chasing Valencia (13-13), which is desperate to avenge a thrashing at Baskonia last week. Milan’s four-game winning stretch – all at home – was highlighted by a strong run of form from Billy Baron, who averaged 13.3 points and 3.5 assists during that time. After permitting at least 91 points in three of the last four games, three of which ended in defeat, it’s no surprise that Valencia will prioritise defence.
Over 158.5 at 1.90
Virtus Bologna – Partizan
Virtus (12-14) will seek to get back on track against a Partizan (14-12) team that is aiming not only for the playoffs but also for a spot in the top four. Partizan’s potent offence, which averages 84.8 points per game, is salivating at the thought of facing Virtus, which allowed 104 points to Fenerbahce last week. Virtus, in particular, allowed the Turkish team to hit 20 three-pointers in that game and now faces Aleksa Avramovic, who hit 5 three-pointers in last week’s victory over ALBA, so better perimeter defence is critical for Virtus.
Partizan Over 82.5 at 1.83
Real Madrid – Baskonia
Real (18-7) will seek for their sixth consecutive win by defeating visiting Baskonia (14-12), who could not be more confident of pulling off an upset after blasting 114 points against Valencia last week. Real Madrid is expected to be without Edy Tavares, who limped off the court in the team’s last EuroLeague game on Friday, so Baskonia may attempt to gain physical supremacy after grabbing an incredible 43 rebounds against Valencia. Guerschon Yabusele, on the other hand, is expected to return for Real at an appropriate time given the probable absence of Tavares.
Under 168.5 at 1.90
Bayern – Villeurbanne
Bayern (10-16) will try to keep its slim playoff hopes alive against an ASVEL (8-18) side with little time to climb the standings. The return to fitness of team leader Vladimir Lucic, who appeared for the first time since Round 10 in last week’s win over Zvezda and instantly delivered a big performance with 20 points on 8-for-10 shooting from the field, has been a tremendous boost for Bayern. ASVEL has only lost by one point to Efes and four points to Real in its last two games, so its confidence should be intact for the journey to Bavaria.
Winning margin 7-way: 1-5 points at 2.90
