Unicaja - Alicante
Unicaja could play effective defense as well be effective on offense. But their offense does not work against good defensive clubs like Barcelona or Real, but today's opponent is fastest team in the league with very bad defense in away games. Unicaja should dominate on the boards and control this game from start to and end and when they are in full control they can score up to 90-95 points.
Jiminez and Archibald are back to the roster, but Blanco is out as well as Printezis.Without Blanco Renesses should use more offensive-minded Berni Rodriguez at SF position and maybe even will try a small-five with Cook-Dean-Williams sharing 1-3 positions. All of them are very good on shooting and that should take effect on Unicaja offense in positive manner.
As for Alicante I will be honest that I have not seen this team on TV but statistically they should be capable to score 65 points today at least while 74-75 I think is the highest possible total for them in Malaga.
I know that statistically this game does not look like overish but here we have some special situation to bet on over. Personally I expect something like 89:67, 92:65, 85:72 or 82:69.. but all these scenarions ends with over 149.5.
Pick: Over 148.5 @ 1.77 Betfair
