Fanta Euroleague M4, Tips
Second day of the double round scheduled for this week with a lot of surreal situation and matches. Zenit, as all we know, will not appear in Valencia, while the challenge between ASVEL, which forfeited against Pana on Tuesday, and the Red Star is in doubt.
Tip-off set at 7 pm with the surprising Zalgiris of coach Schiller, who made en-plein of external successes (3 out of 3), finally makes his debut at Kaunas against Efes. These are our choices for this very insidious matchday.
GUARDS
Vasilije Micic (Anadolu Efes Istanbul, 15.9 CR): the Serbian playmaker has just returned from a great season even if he started a bit with the handbrake on. However, he seems to be returned to his last year level and the double-double in the last exit is a valid proof. In G4 he returns to Kaunas as an opponent, where he played the last season before the arrive in Istanbul. Poisoned tooth?
Luca Vildoza (TD Systems Baskonia, 9.3 CR): the Argentine playmaker, just like Micic, comes from a season but has yet to fully unlock. It comes from two good but not excellent scores, and we believe it has come back to the glories of the past year. Baskonia has also returned from a rest round, which is a great advantage in a double round.
Riccardo Moraschini (AX Armani Exchange Milan, 5.5 CR): the former Mantova is earning Messina’s trust. Milan challenges Real, which evokes great emotions for Morasca, who scored 21 points in what would have been the last home game in Milan before the end of last season. He is an good low cost choice without a doubt.
FORWARDS
Tornike Shengelia (CSKA Moscow, 13.5 CR): the Georgian seemed to be in excellent shape in the first few matches, but missed the appointment with the double-double. The match against Alba promises to be full of possessions and racing, characteristics go well with both the former Baskonia and Clyburn. I choose him because in my opinion he has a greater propensity to rebound.
Danilo Barthel (Fenerbahce, 7 CR): this day a double ration of ex among the recommended, with Barthel who will keep Micic company. Kokoskov likes the German forward and give him a lot of minutes till now. As an ex he will want to purge his old teammates.
Rolands Smits (FC Barcelona, 5.3 CR): the Latvian forward has just returned from a sensational performance at Valencia’s Fonteta, where he did not regret Nikola Mirotic in the slightest, earning him the nickname of Mirosmits. With Pana promises to be an affordable game and who knows that Roland will not be able to dedicate a new happy song to us.
CENTERS
Walter Tavares (Real Madrid, 15.4 CR): Real return to Milan, and the thought is inevitable about the last match played at the Forum last season, in the middle of the pandemic period. Tavares recorded a great double-double with all the trimmings and I’m sure he can repeat a great match. Hines can defend as much as he wants but 20 centimeters less are a lot. Apart from the previous one, against Milan, in Milan, he often did great preformance.
Tonye Jekiri (TD Systems Baskonia, 10.4 CR): the former Asvel was one of the main surprises of the last edition of Dunkest, precisely with the French team. In this beginning he started off a bit quietly but I’m sure that was acclimatization problem. The challenge against Khimki promises to be with an high score, and who knows that Tonye will not be able to return to last season level.
Malcolm Thomas (Bayern Munich, 8.7 CR): the Bayern center is one of the few who can be saved from the shortage of the low cost range of the centers. Is also a former Fenerbache player. Useful to complete your benches.
COACH
Dimitris Itoudis (CSKA Moscow, 10.4 CR): CSKA hosts Alba Berlin in a match with an outcome that seems obvious. Alba seen this year seemed distantly related to last year’s and CSKA at home is a war machine.
Dusko Ivanovic (TD Systems Baskonia, 6.9 CR): the Baskonia, returning from a rest session due to Zenit’s forfeit, receives a physically destroyed Khimki at the Fernando Buesa Arena. The Russians continue to have very small rotations, while the Baskoniais fresh. For those who want to spend less, he is probably the best choice.
