Ramchen Basketball Tips

This should be a walk in the park for Hapoel Tel Aviv. Itoudis' men scored over 100 in 3 of their last 6 games. Barcelona couldn't handle them, and Anadolu Efes found them too good to beat. Maccabi Tel Aviv lost to Paris, a moderate Euroleague team. Maccabi also struggled against Ironi Kiryat Ata (93-91), while Hapoel TA thrashed them 101-66. Expect Hapoel to cover the spread (6.50 pts). I wouldn't be surprised to see Hapoel winning by 15 pts.

Anadolu Efes outscored Partizan 97-65 in their last visit to Beogradska Arena. The visitors were surprised by the newcomers Hapoel Tel Aviv, but they returned to winning ways when they defeated Bursaspor 93-73 in their local league. Efes should win this one, or at least force a tight game. I hardly see Partizan win by 5 pts.

The visitors lost all 7 games in their last 7 visits to Fernando Buesa Arena. The hosts started the Euroleague season with a couple of losses. They cannot allow losing 3 in a row, and at home, they are favorites to win. Just to be on the safe side, I'll take them +5.5 pts, in case of a tight game.
