Zalgiris performs worse on the road than at home. Most recently, they lost on foreign soil to Olympiacos and Partizan without a chance. It’s likely that they’ll be no match for them in Spain, either. The Basques are too good at home. We think they’ll have no trouble beating the Lithuanians.
Baskonia is averaging nearly 100 points in home games in the Euroleague. They’re one of the most spectacular teams in the tournament. Zalgiris is unlikely to be able to stop the Spaniards’ forwards.
Baskonia has won 90% of the Euroleague this season at home. Joan Penarroya’s men have been excellent on the court. They can defeat any opponent on the home court. For example, this season, the Basques even defeated Maccabi and Partizan.
Recently, however, the Basques have slowed down a little. They’ve suffered three straight defeats. Penarroya’s side lost to Panathinaikos (83-98), Monaco (74-79) and Manresa (80-93).
In Saski Baskonia’s last game against Monaco, Pierria Henry scored 17 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists.
Baskonia has won 75% of its home games of the season.
Saski Baskonia players are averaging 20 assists per game this season.
Last season, Zalgiris was one of the worst teams in the Euroleague. Now, however, Maksvytis’s men are doing much better. It seems that in the offseason, management drew some conclusions and bolstered the squad with quality players. The team from Kaunas has already scored several big wins in the current regular season. Right now, the Lithuanians sit in sixth place in the standings.
In their last two games, Zalgiris defeated LDLC ASVEL (93-76) and Olimpia Milano (71-62).
In Zalgiris’ last game against Olimpia Milano, Keenan Evans scored 23 points and 1 assist.
Zalgiris has lost 75% of its away games this season.
Zalgiris players are averaging 16 assists per game this season.
The Lithuanians have scored more than 79 points in 3 of their last 5 games. We offer to bet on “Zalgiris Points Over 79.5” with odds of 1.83.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Saski Baskonia: Markus Howard – Rokas Giedraitis – Sander Raieste – Daulton Hommes – Maik Kotsar.
Zalgiris: Keenan Evans – Ignas Brazdeikis – Arnas Butkevičius – Edgaras Ulanovas – Kevarrius Hayes.
The fixture will be played at Fernando Buesa Arena (15.504) in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
This starting whistle will sound on the 23rd of November 2022, at 19:30 UK Time.
