Currently, Andreas correctly predicted 11 out of 21 possible outcomes. A pretty solid record of building upon. However, we remind you to gamble responsibly.

Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade vs Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv

Crvena Zvezda claimed a very impressive and important win against Real Madrid, winning 65-62 at home in Belgrade.

Maccabi barely beat Baskonia last week, 94-93, and followed up with a 109-83 victory against Maccabi Rishon in the domestic league. The good news for Maccabi is that both Roman Sorkin and Keenan Evans were back and recorded 30 points combined.

Three straight wins for the Serbians plus a whole new EuroLeague table makes Crvena Zvezda a serious playoff contender, one win behind Maccabi in the 7th place.

Very important game for both teams, but as mentioned before, Crvena Zvezda are so strong at home meanwhile Maccabi's struggles away continue. 3-8 is the record when playing away, and in the last two games, they lost to Bayern (52-70) and Anadolu Efes (77-109).

I have the hosts as big favorites here, and as always, together with the crowd, they could accomplish big things.

BET: Crvena Zvezda ML (win including OT) @ 1.70.

ALBA Berlin vs Olympiacos Piraeus

The Germans have played well lately, and they got 8 straight games in a row without a single loss, all competitions included. Last week they beat Zalgiris at home 82-74 even though they're still missing Marcus Eriksson, Louis Olinde, and Yovel Zoosman.

Olympiacos tie their opponents with 8 straight wins, all competitions included, and just like ALBA, they won the domestic cup. Last week they once again looked great, beating Bayern in Germany 98-88.

ALBA are a very reliable scoring machine at home, averaging 78 points per game. Looking at Olympiacos' offense, I'm a really big fan of the adjustments they're doing.

When playing Milan, PAO, or other big games/defensive-minded teams, they play one style, when playing teams that play with a higher tempo, like ALBA, they normally find their rhythm quick.

Looking at the two last matches between these teams, Olympiacos have won both games 84-80 and 87-83, respectively.

I was expecting the total to be around 158.5-159.5. The total is a gift at this point,

BET: Over 155.5 @ 1.90

LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz

ASVEL haven't played in EuroLeague since they lost 80-82 at home against ALBA. This weekend they faced another tough defeat when visiting Paris and Boulogne-Levallois, losing 81-83.

The good news is that David Lighty finally made his comeback after injury and recorded 15 points.

Baskonia look really good at the moment, by far the best we've seen this season.

This will be their fifth game in March, so a tough schedule for sure. First, they were unlucky losing in Israel to Maccabi 93-94, then suffering from Crvena Zvezda's huge comeback, losing 83-86.

But after this, they managed to beat Real Madrid away 80-72, and on Monday, a super performance from Wade Baldwin helped Baskonia beat Anadolu Efes 87-74.

With the game Baskonia are showing now, you must consider them as favorites here. Meanwhile, I'm not fully convinced where ASVEL are at the moment, looking at their recent performances.

No doubt it will be a tough game, but Baskonia should be favorites for me. The bookies disagree so far and are favoring ASVEL. Value on the Basques!

BET: Baskonia ML (Win including OT) @ 2.00.

AS Monaco vs Anadolu Efes Istanbul

I think you guys know where we are going here, what a matchup.

Monaco lost to Barcelona last weekend 88-83 in a very entertaining game and followed that up by beating JL Bourg at home 93-84.

Anadolu Efes, as mentioned above, lost to Baskonia 84-87, but before that, they beat Fenerbache 84-79 in the Istanbul derby and later another win away to Turk Telekom 99-84.

It's worth mentioning that the unstoppable duo of Vasilije Micic and Shane Larkin scored 44 out of Efes' 74 points against Baskonia on Monday.

With players like Mike James, Dwayne Bacon, Vasilje Micic, and Shane Larkin, to name a few, how can this not be a fun and entertaining game? On top of this, it's a very important matchup in the hunt for a playoff spot.

I've said it so many times before, these two teams love to run and especially when they're facing an opponent who does the same, as in this case.

When Efes hosted Monaco in November, the game finished 98-77, combining 175 points. I wouldn't be surprised if we see something similar here, and then I'm talking about the number of points, not Efes winning with 21 points.

BET: Over 164.5 @ 1.90.
