Triumph - Unics
Pick of the day for me. Triumph is a new team based on Dynamo Moscow region coached by ex-Unics coach Stanislav Eremin. I am 100% about revenge motivation only from Eremin but also from Zamansky, Toporov & Krotenkov. All these played played for Unics but were sent off from Kazan to another clubs. So their motivation to prove their level will be high for sure. Also Triumph have great abroad players in their roster: Askravic (ex-Roma with Russian Superleague experience in Dinamo St.Petersburg), Chatman (Roma, Dynamo Moscow), Leyday (Benetton, Dynamo Moscow), Uros Slokar (Slovenia NT). Also it is worth to mentioan that Triumph don't know what is defeat.. they won all their preparation games and first 2 games in rus. superleague: CSK VVS (+30 points), Ural-Great (+20), Besiktas (+30), Galatasaray (+30), Pau Orthez (+2), Paris (+3), Gravelin (+14), Vichy (+16).
Unics won their first game against CSK VVS but I was not satisfy with their game. Very big holes in defence (another question that CSK VVS did not used them), in offense all game was based on one-on-one game and CSK VVS turnovers in offense. Unics scored many easy points and that helped them to win. Unics is not ready yet for big games because their game is not yet in optimal conditions as well as some leaders are not in good form after Eurobasket (Padius, Lavrinovic & Kirksay). My own line would be 1.45-2.5 and I was expecting the same from bookies. When I found 1.83 for Triump to win at Pinnacle decided to take this pick with medium-high stakes. Pick: Triumph (-2.5) @ 1.93 Pinnacle
