EuroleagueUnfortunately due the personal reasons I would not be able to write overview of Thursday Euroleague matches. On Wednesday I also don't see any good picks except one but you can read review of all Wednesday games in this article.
Olympiakos vs Union Olimpija
I hardly see any chances for slovenian team against Olympiacos which lost 2 games in a row. This should be a one sided game and confident Olympiacos win. But handicap and total are not interesting as betting option because both are unpredictable at least for me.

Prokom Trefl Sopot vs Zalgiris Kaunas
After some confident wins in Euroleague Zalgiris became a public team and this game in Poland is not a best time to back Zalgiris in my opinion. Honestly speaking Zalgiris is much better team if we look only at sport aspect but you should not forget that Zalgiris did not win away matches in EL since 2005/2006 season. This game is a good chance to win for them finaly to win but I still fear to back lithuanians in away matches.

Armani Jeans Milano vs Efes Pilsen
Armani is really improving their form game by game and now it is probably best time fot them to enter Top-16 battle but I am not sure if they really want this. They have too much problems in the local league and should concetrate on their problems there. Efes is a strange team, I simply don't like to back Turkish teams as favorites in away matches. Another hard game to predict for me.

Montepaschi Siena vs CSKA Moscow
Game for 1st place in group A and I am sure that CSKA will play only for a win without thinking about secure that 3 pts advantage they have over them. Don't forget that Messina, Zisis, Gorree, Siskauskas, Langdon and D.Andersen came to CSKA from Italy and they like a lot visiting and playing here. Also they like to play such important "1st place" games. Look how CSKA trashed Khimki in away match in Russian Superleague, this weekend they killed in perfect style another competitor Triumph.. and now another competitor from Italy. CSKA is showing really great form in last 2-3 weeks and I see many problems for Montepaschi against Moscow team.

One of them is doubtful statuts of McIntyre (sprained right ankle), but another problem they will meet it's CSKA quard and forward defense. I expect CSKA to dictate tempo and game rhytm tomorrow and I see only one outcome for this game: CSKA to win. And I would not be suprised if this win will be double digit (12-15 pts).

Pick: CSKA to win

Brose Baskets vs Panathinaikos
Brose currently is hit but several very big and important losses: Artland, Roann, Koln, ALBA.. in all competitions they are losing all important games and this game against PAO is they only chance to recover mentaly. Unfortunately opponent is too strong for them and this time I can't expect seriuos fight from german side. They simply don't have enough weapons to fight with PAO. I expect PAO to create secure lead in 1st half and hold it until final whistle.

Prediction: Brose 64 - 78 Panathinaikos

Partizan Belgrade - Chorale Roanne
Another funny Wednesday game.. Very important for both teams but it 1.25 on Partizan is not a fair price.. it's public moved price because everyone knows that Partizan can beat any team at home, but many bettors forget how many unexpected losses they had here. One of examples is Fenerbahce few weeks ago. It does not mean that we should back Roanne only because of this factor but Roanne is a kind of team which can find their shot any given at any arena and it will be extremely hard to stop them. I doubt that Slyers and Rush have played in front of crazy fans before.. and this could be decisive factor tomorrow. Anyway for me it's nobet game.
