Good morning.
Bosnia and Herzegovina made it last night. They were outstanding and were killing Croatia all night behind 6.75 range hitting 13 of 29 and proving that there is something smoldering inside.
Its current record is 2-2 and tonight they have a chance to advance to next phase, by winning FYROM, the only team that has already booked its ticket to the second round. This is an important factor of the game's outcome.
We might watch FYROM's bench taking more minutes on the court, in order to give some rest to its starters.
Anyway, Bosnia is a team that can beat their tonight's opponents, starters or not and i expect a real battle. I will trust Mirsa Teletovic to hit some or more threeballs and lead his team to the second round. There is value at this 2.50 on Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I like this matchup, i like the price, so there's only one thing left... to pull the trigger!!
Bosnia and Herzegovina vs FYROM
pick
Bosnia and Herzegovina ML 2.50 (63-75)
The Italians lost last night after a tremendous game. Azzuri were leading for the most of the game, as an impact of a great NBAers perfomance. That was not enough though, as the French grabbed 20 more rebounds, a key factor of the game's result. Israel is a team with much enthousiasm, a team tha loves open court and hates defense.
This will be a run n gun, a "basketball rapshody" as "alhtaras" says. This is a bubble game, so many handbreaks and more 3balls. The line is huge... 162.5 but still possible.
Italy vs Israel
pick Over 162,5 points
pick Italy to score over 84,5 points (95-96)
Finally there is Lithuania against Portugal. The hosts were demolished yesterday by overmastering spanish machine. This time they wil try to forget and let off steam against their weak opponents. Lithuania wants to end this first stage with a sweet note, so 20+ points on the Portugueses' heads seem a good painkiller, at least till they face Spain again...
Lithuania vs Portugal
pick Lithuania -20,5 (98-69)
Good Luck
