Efes – Baskonia
These teams arrive at this game in good momentum. Anadolu Efes Istanbul (6-4) has won five of its last six games led by Shane Larkin (16.5 ppg., 5 apg.), Krunoslav Simon (14.2 ppg.) and Vasilije Micic (13.7 ppg., 5.6 apg.). TD Systems Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (5-5) is on a three-game winning streak in which it scored at least 86 points in each game. Alec Peters (12.3 ppg.) is its top scorer, followed by Luca Vildoza (12.1 ppg.) and Pierria Henry (11.3 ppg.). Expect a great tactical battle between veteran head coaches Ergin Ataman and Dusko Ivanovic.
Efes trusts Larkin to make the difference against his former team. Larkin is slowly but steadily finding his rhythm and must be ready for a very interesting matchup against a great on-the-ball defender in Pierria Henry. If Bryant Dunston and Tibor Pleiss remain sidelined, Sanli, Chris Singleton and even Moerman will see playing time at center. Efes ranks second in two-point shooting percentage (57.9%) and fourth from downtown (39.3%), and it needs that ball circulation against a strong, physical Baskonia side.
Bryant Dunson has missed Efes’s last five games. Rodrigue Beaubois has missed the last three games. Vasilije Micic and Tibor Pleiss both missed Efes’s Round 11 game.
Baskonia ranks third in offensive rebounds (11.1 orpg.) while Efes is last overall (7.6 orpg.). Locking down its defensive glass is important to allow Vildoza, Henry and Rokas Giedraitis to play in transition. Baskonia must stop Simon and will trust Zoran Dragic to do so. Inside, especially if Pleiss remains sidelined, Baskonia has a size advantage with Youssoupha Fall and Tonye Jekiri, and must make the most out of it. Playing aggressively and running its offense through an inspired Peters are keys, too.

Zalgiris – Barcelona
This will be a very special game at Zalgirio Arena as Sarunas Jasikevicius returns to Kaunas for the first time since leaving the team. Jasikevicius coached Zalgiris for almost five seasons and led the team to the EuroLeague Final Four in 2018. Zalgiris (5-6) is on a five-game losing streak. Marius Grigonis (15.3 ppg.), Joffrey Lauvergne (10.3 ppg.) and Lukas Lekavicius (8.8 ppg.) are its top scorers. Barcelona lost against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne last week after a seven-game winning streak. Nikola Mirotic (17.1 ppg., 80.9% 2FG), Cory Higgins (12.2 ppg.) and former Zalgiris center Brandon Davies (10.3 ppg.) are its pillars.
Zalgiris must improve its defense. It is allowing 81.2 points per game on 57.3% two-point shooting and 40.7% from downtown. It must improve its overall aggressiveness, force opponents to poor ball circulation that would result in bad shot selection. Paulius Jankunas and Augustine Rubit must join forces to stop Mirotic at power forward. Controlling the game tempo is important and Zalgiris relies on Thomas Walkup to do so, while using Lekavicius and Grigonis to open the floor with their three-point shooting.
Zalgiris swingman Patricio Garino will be out of action until December after a knee operation.
Despite allowing 80 points last week, Barcelona still has the best defensive numbers in the competition (70.5 ppg. allowed). Barcelona is succeeding at keeping opponents to low shooting percentages: 48.3% inside the arc, 33.3% from downtown. Being able to do that is critical with a team with such great shooters as Grigonis, Lekavicius and Arturas Milaknis. Barcelona must get Alex Abrines and Kyle Kuric involved on offense, as their deep range generates mismatches on defense, which players like Mirotic, Davies and Rolands Smits read well.

Bayern – Khimki
FC Bayern Munich (7-4) comes off back-to-back losses for the first time this season. Vladimir Lucic (14.8 ppg., 5.0 rpg.), Jalen Reynolds (12.6 ppg., 6.3 rpg.) and Wade Baldwin IV (13.7 ppg., 4.0 apg.) have been Bayern’s pillars until now. Khimki Moscow Region (2-8) also lost its last two games and is looking to bounce back with a road win. Alexey Shved (16.8 ppg., 8.8 apg.), Jonas Jerebko (12.4 ppg., 6.8 rpg.) and Greg Monroe (10.3 ppg., 6.3 rpg.) are leading the team right now.
Bayern has some of the best defensive numbers in the competition, allowing just 77.7 points on just 31.7% three-point shooting. That three-point defense may be especially important against players such as Shved, Dairis Bertans and Janis Timma, who are all great shooters. Bayern, however, has struggled to protect its paint, as opponents score 56.0% of their two-point shots. Stopping Monroe, Jerebko and, if available, Devin Booker is mandatory for Bayern, as well as running its offense through Lucic and Baldwin.
Khimki is averaging just 77.7 points, which is a low number for such an offensive-minded team. Shot selection is an issue, as Khimki is hitting just 50.0% of its two-point shots (17th overall) and shooting 36.1% from downtown (13th). Shved leads the EuroLeague in assists, but is struggling to score (35.9% 2FG, 31.3% 3FG) so far this season. As soon as Khimki’s undeniable leader steps up on offense, he will generate space for its many scorers all around the court. Stopping Lucic is a critical issue for the Russian powerhouse.
Devin Booker has not played since Round 5.
Tip: 2 (+4.5) at 1.90 with bet365
(Price correct at 04/12/2020, 00:15 CET, subject to change)
Real – Villeurbanne
Real Madrid will try to bounce back after having its five-game winning streak ended last week when it hosts LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, which is trying to extend a modest two-game run of its own. Real (6-5) is 4-1 at home this season. ASVEL (3-6) stunned league-leader FC Barcelona last week and drained a club record 17 three-pointers on Tuesday in beating Panathinaikos OPAP Athens and will try to keep its momentum going in the Spanish capital.
Real is 4-0 this season when it has scored at least 90 points, though ASVEL has not yet allowed a team to reach that number against it. ASVEL has held opponents to just 32.9% three-point shooting. Point guards Nicolas Laprovittola and Sergo Llull must find a way to crack the ASVEL defense and get their teammates open shots in the paint and from behind the arc to increase Los Blancos’ chances.
Rudy Fernandez has missed Round 11 game.
ASVEL is coming off a near-perfect shooting night against Panathinaikos and a repeat would make it hard to beat. However, the team also committed 19 turnovers in that game and leads the league with 16.1 per game. Cutting that number is critical to improving its chances, as is getting good games from veterans Norris Cole, David Lighty and Antione Diot, who know a thing or two about these sorts of games.

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
