Pick: Over 84 Maccabi Tel Aviv @1.850 8/10 +6.80
Hello.
Euroleague. Israeli derby. Let's move with Maccabi over.
A lot of people are going with Hapoel today and there are reasons for that, the team looks more solid, the game also looks better and logic leads to them. Especially since Maccabi also looks weak. But it's still a derby and the 8 point handicap seems very slippery to me today, so I'm trying to go with Maccabi over. The team is completely chaotic, playing Run and Gun basketball with a bunch of Americans, and if they expect to win here, it's definitely not through defense. Lonnie looked better in the second match, I believe he can slowly get into it here, and Hoard also looks good to me. Overall, the team definitely has talent and can fight better than in their first Euroleague matches.
On top of that, Hapoel is not very defensive. Although they won both matches, they allowed 87 and 81 points. They also score a lot themselves. Overall, I expect a more wild game today, especially knowing that it's a derby and the importance of the match will be much greater for both teams (there will be pressure from management as well, I think). I don't believe Hapoel will easily beat Maccabi like many predict, so over seems like a good choice. Moreover, both teams had a week off and didn't play any local matches, so they will be fresh. Good luck.
