CSKA Moscow v Fenerbahce
This clash of perennial title contenders is always must-see basketball and it is heightened this week as both teams are hungrier than ever for wins. CSKA has lost two of its last three games and Coach Itoudis is still working on the lineup with center Kosta Koufos having made his debut last week and Final Four MVP WIll Clyburn out for the season. Fenerbahce is off to its worst start of the decade at 2-5, but claimed an uplifting victory over FC Bayern Munich last week. The game will be Nando De Colo’s first against his former club after playing the past five season with CSKA and leading the team to a pair of EuroLeague titles.
Scoring in the paint has been a CSKA strength and a Fenerbahce weakness this season and it is one the hosts would be wise to capitalize on. CSKA is among the leaders in both two-point shooting (54.7%) and opponents two-point shooting (48.5%). Fenerbahce is among the worst in both categories (47.8% shooting, 53.5% for opponents). If Kyle Hines and co. can continue that way, it will help CSKA.
Fenerbahce has been getting beaten on the boards and must put a stop to that, especially in a tough road game against CSKA (37.0 rpg.). Despite the presence of Jan Vesely, Derrick Williams, Ahmet Duverioglu and Joffrey Lauvergne, Fenerbahce is last with 28.6 rebounds per game. Stopping CSKA from getting easy second-chance baskets and turning some of those defensive boards into transition points would benefit Fenerbahce greatly.
Tip: 2 (+5.5) at 1.90 with bet365

Crvena Zvezda – Villeurbanne
In a showdown of teams who love playing at home, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade hosts LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne on Friday. Both of Zvezda’s wins this season have come at home over playoff contenders and it will be easy to gain its third triumph. ASVEL has also taken down some of the giants at home, but is winless in its three road games. However, ASVEL should be in high spirits after edging defending champion CSKA Moscow last week.
Zvezda has committed the second-most turnovers in the league so far this season (14.9 per game), but not surprisingly has limited that number to 12.5 in its two wins. It’s, of course, a team effort, but if Lorenzo Brown, Filip Covic and co. can keep that number down, it will help the Serbian champs.
ASVEL needs an offensive breakthrough and the talent is there to make it happen. With fine shooters and great athletes, ASVEL has what it takes for a big scoring night. Edwin Jackson, Charles Kahudi, David Lighty and Antione Diot have the most experience and could lead the way. If ASVEL can get into the 80s in points, it would have Zvezda off balance.
Tip: 1 (-6.5) at 1.90 with bet365

Olympiacos – Zalgiris
Olympiacos Piraeus (2-5) will try to put an end to a two-game slide when it hosts Zalgiris Kaunas (3-4) on Friday. The Reds are looking to regroup after losing both of those games by sizeable margins after stunning defending champion CSKA Moscow on the road in Round 5. Zalgiris had a marquee road win of its own by beating Fenerbahce in Istanbul in Round 6, but lost last week at home to FC Barcelona. Zalgiris has won four straight and seven of its last eight games against Olympiacos.
The Reds have averaged 86.5 points per game in victories, but just 65.8 points in defeats. That sums up the situation and Olympiacos must find its rhythm quickly against Zalgiris’s aggressiveness to have a good chance. The team has no shortage of scoring weapons both in the paint and from the perimeter, but its 29.9% three-point shooting is worst in the league. More threes at better accuracy from the likes of Kevin Punter, Brandon Paul and Vassilis Spanoulis would be a great start.
Zalgiris is 3-1 this season when it has held opponents to less than 80 points and that is surely an attainable goal considering that Olympiacos has averaged a mere 71.7 points per game. On the offensive end, Zalgiris must cut down on its 14.3 turnovers per game.
Tip: 2 at 2.10 with bet365
(Price correct at 15/11/2019, 10:00 CET, could have changed)
Valencia – Bayern
Two teams in need of wins will square off in Round 8 when Valencia Basket (1-6) hosts FC Bayern Munich (3-4) on Friday at La Fonteta. Valencia went back to the losing path last week against Panathinaikos just when it had managed to win its first game. The Spanish team needs wins soon if it wants to stay in the race. Bayern is faring quite better, but the German champs lost the last two games in a row, so they will travel to Valencia to try to get to the winning path again.
Valencia goes back home for another game in which it desperately needs a win. The only win so far arrived at La Fonteta, so the team will rely on its fans again to give them that extra edge. On paper, Bayern arrives with better numbers about everywhere, so the hosts will have to focus and prepare the game well. Valencia has the manpower, the talent and the experience, but needs players like Maurice N’Dour, Aaron Dornekamp and Guillem Vives to step up in offense to contribute with their points. Valencia has the fifth weakest offense in the league, a position it is not used to.
Coming into the game, it looks like Bayern has a bit of an upper hand over Valencia. The net difference between the offense and the defense of both teams is a +11 for Bayern. The guests also score more efficiently from the field and, even if not by a long shot, have better average PIR. If Bayern focuses on Dubljevic, Jordan Loyd and Fernando San Emeterio, it will have an eye on almost half of the point production of the hosts, so defense will be, again, key for Bayern to get back on the winning track where it was befor dropping two in a row.
Tip: Over 156.0 points 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
