Zalgiris vs Partizan Preview

Fri, Feb 3rd. 18:00 (UK time)

Zalgiris keep delivering this season. There weren’t many people who have projected them to be battling for the top 8 spots but here they are. They have been struck with injuries lately as tonight they will be playing without a classic PG in the roster. The Lithuanian side’s strongest attribute is rebounding, as they are 4th in the competition in offensive rebounds with almost 12 whilst grabbing 35 total (3rd). They are also 3rd in the competition in allowed points, as they are allowing their opponents an average of only 74.5 points per game.

Overall, Zalgiris is a very well-rounded team and very solid at home. We are expecting them to win tonight’s game because of their experience in the Euroleague for the last decade.
Regarding the injury situation, Zalgiris will be missing K. Evans with a tendon injury, T. Cavanaugh with a back injury, L Lekavicious with a foot injury as well as I. Taylor due to a muscle strain.

Partizan is in a series of very good results. They are battling their way up to the top 8 rapidly but every streak has to end. We believe tonight Partizan will lose to an experienced Zalgiris roster that knows how to handle offensive teams on their court. Partizan, although scoring 84 PPG (3rd) will be on a real test against the aggressive defence of the hosts tonight.

Zalgiris vs Partizan Best Bet

Zalgiris have won 8 and lost only 3 games on the home court so far this season while Partizan have won only 3 and lost 8 away court. The math is pretty straightforward. Although Zalgiris is batting injury issues they are still favourites according to the moneyline and we are taking them to get the win in the end in their packed Zalgirio Arena.
