Wolves - Rytas

First and foremost, I personally believe that the Rytas basketball team and staff will make a proper reaction and seek revenge today against an even larger crowd of fans. In the first game they lost and practically had no chance, Foster's foolish mistakes quickly took them out of the game, tragic shooting from afar, etc. The two teams may have similar line-ups, but Rytas' team composition is better, especially with such a strong front line, they should be able to exploit these handicaps sooner or later. We can only hope that Foster will not make any naive mistakes in the second game and we could also benefit from it. Rytas really needs Peru, if they want to avoid a blowout and even though looking at Žagars he doesn't seem that dangerous compared to what he could be before his injury, I still believe that even though the line-ups are similar, Rytas definitely has the upper hand, not to mention the crowd and other nuances. The only worry is the added pressure, because if they don't win now, it will be much harder to win three in a row, and as for the spread, I don't believe it will be covered until the end of the game, as running teams often result in one team running away and then it's just a matter of controlling the game.

P.S. I think it's also worth betting on the over, as Rytas won't have a better defense, unless they can toughen up at times, but ultimately, there is no defensive game plan that can work against Žibėnas and his shot and run style is dangerous because without rebounds they have nothing to offer in terms of overs. And without a strong defense, it's very difficult for the team to adapt during the game.
