Zalgiris vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Preview
Tue, Apr 6th. 18:00 (UK time)
Although they’ve been facing a lot of issues with injured point guards this season, Zalgiris have managed to keep themselves in the conversation for the top 8 just 2 rounds before the end of the regular season. They’re famous for their defensive efforts at home where they’re allowing only 77.5 points per game to their opponents and only 72.1 in the Zalgirio arena.
They are one of the slowest-paced teams in the league, averaging fewer than 80 possessions per game and scoring only 76.5 points per game while shooting 46% from the field. For tonight’s game, they will be missing K. Evans due to a tendon injury while T. Cavvanaugh is out due to a back injury.
Maccabi are in the best form in the Euroleague right now. They’ve won their last 11 games in all competitions 6 of which have come in the Euroleague. They’re the 5th best offence with 83.6 points per game but these numbers and their shooting percentages drop drastically when playing on an away court where they’re only 5-11.
After securing a playoff spot, we believe the home team’s sense of urgency for the victory along with their hot home court will be enough to get this win against this Maccabi team that has to start losing some games. They will be missing A. Poythress due to a broken hand while A. Hollins remains “questionable” for tonight.
Zalgiris vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Best Bet
Zalgiris need the win to stay in the playoff discussion. If they could get in the situation to have everything in their own hand in front of their fans, they would all accept that even before the start of the season. It is needless to say this is the most important game of the season for them.
