UNICS - Slupsk

Slupsk was 12 team in Polan last year (from 13). Unics is one of the main candidates to take title and is top motivated for this match because of 14 points loss in Game 1. According to interviews after match Unics travelled 20 hours to Slupsk and did not have training, and also on the court they were not ready for the game. That huge loss was a bit shocking for club and it fans but today I expect Kazan to demolish opponents. Aco Petrovic said that he is sure that they will win this game by 15 points and I trust him because he proved that he knows how to handle team in critical situation. Last year they demolished Strasbourg by 37 points, and Hapoel Jerusalim by 53 points.

All key players are healthy maybe only Samoilenko is doubtful but it's not a big loss because M.Popovic is much-much better than him. I expect 22-30 pts win by hosts.

Pick: Unics (-16.5) @ 1.90 (OT not included) 5/10 Sportingbet

Telecom Bonn - Panelinios Athens
I was on Bonn handicap in Game 1 because expected close game with possible hard win of Bonn. Unfortunately they lost by 15 pts however were close to make this game equal when cut host lead down to 5 or 6 points in 2nd half. But another game crisis happened and greeks did a final run and make positive result for theirself. Now their goal to hold 15 points handicap.

In my opinion Bonn should be more heavy favourite in the line because of motivation factor. Bookmakers and public overstimate that greek team covered line by 8 points in Game 1 but I stay within my opionion and according to it home line for Bonn should be at least -5.5 points.

Pick: Bonn to win @ 1.72 5/10 Unibet
