Ratiopharm Ulm - Braunschweig
Good news for Ulm basketball fans. City administration approved new basketball arena building and this factor will be on Ulm side today, sure it's not a real motivation to win this game but good news are always good especially for such home team as Ulm. I like the way they are playing in BBL, they lost 5 matches and won 3, but 4 of 5 losses were to Koln, Bamberg, ALBA and Liudwigsburg - all are German basketball leaders and in all matches (excluding one with ALBA) they were level opponents and always showed great performance. At home this team play with great desire and today I expect them to beat visitors quite easily because those are not very impressive, they still have not played with top-half teams but have 3-5 record. More of that according to Braunschweig official site some players (names are not given) had have influenza this week and are not ready for this match. All in one, I expect Ulm to win by 8-15 points today in their home match where they always are hot.

Pick: Ulm (-4.5) @ 1.74

EWE Baskets Oldenburg - EnBW Ludwigsburg
Ludwigsburg have 7-0 record in the league but they played with bottom table teams and still were not examined by top clubs, so there is nothing strange. They are good team and they earned their victories but today I expect them to have first really hard match and honestly speaking I'm awaiting for their first loss this season. Oldenburg have McCoy back and new buying Doron Perkins will play for the first time. The Guard was named as a best defensive player in the past season in the Japanese Superleague and received there various honors, among other things. „The past seasonal trend showed that we have urgent action need on this position. The obligation of Perkins, over which we could get to know very much property, must lead now to the fact that we act structure and more intelligently. Finally the burden that is very large already six defeats. “, so Baskets managing director gentleman Mr. Schüller for new obligation.

Oldenburg in last 4 matches allowing less than 70 points and if they will be able to repeat their defence today they will have good chance to get comfortable win. But I expect them to allow about 75 points and score in the same range but in this scenario I am not sure about their win it's more looking like a very close match. And I am not agree with such handicap set by bookies.

Pick: Oldenburg +6.5 @ 1.74
