Euroleague Betting Tips

Laboral Kutxa – Fenerbahce Ulker

Out of the playoffs “Laboral” is hosting Fenerbahce Ulker for the 13th round of Top 16. The victory of Laboral is maybe not so important for them but very crucial for Panathinaikos, Unicaja Malaga and Olympiakos. If Fenerbahce will loose the game they will be eliminated from Euroleague 2014, so it is a do-or-die game for the visitors.
Fenerbahce’s Nemanje Bjelica will be seeing long playing time at both forward positions together with Emir Predlzic and regular season’s top scorer Bojan Bogdanovic. They will not have it easy though against Laboral’s forwards Adam Hanga, San Emeterio and David Jelinek. Pepe Poeta and Thomas Huertel will try to set the right game tempo against Bo McCalebb and Pierre Jackson. Moreover the battle under the baskets will be decisive for getting the victory at this tough game. Andres Nocioni and Tibor Pleiss have to be careful against Luka Zoric and Linas Kleiza.
Considering the fact that both teams had serious defending problems up to now at Euroleague, our pick for this game will be for over a total of 158,5 points. 

Prediction: over 158,5 points
Highest Odds: bet365 @ 1,97 – Pinnacle @ 1,97 – BetVictor @ 1,90


Panathinaikos – Unicaja Malaga

Another significant game for both teams. Panathinaikos has 7W-1L home record against its opponent. If they win they will get a place for playoffs and this means Unicaja Malaga will be eliminated. Therefore both teams will play the game with full concentration and motivation.
Nik Caner-Medley is back from the 1 month injury period for Unicaja Malaga and he will do his best at this game together with Fran Vazquez, Vlado Stimac and Domas Sabonis around the baskets. However they will have difficulties against Panathinakos’ James Gist, Antonis Fotsis, Stephane Lasme, Mike Batiste and Loukas Mavrokefalidis. Dimitris Diamantidis will share the point-guard duties with Zack Wright and struggle with the talented playmakers of Unicaja, Jayson Granger and Earl Calloway.
First priority of both teams will be concentrated defending and therefore our minds say that the game will be quite barren considering the total points scored.

Prediction: Under 141,5 points
Highest Odds: bet 365 @ 1,90 – BetVictor @ 1,90 – Unibet @ 1,88
