Critical game for both teams, Lokomotiv cant afford a second straight home loss, while after losing two at home already, Zalgiris needs a road win to stay alive in the competition. I can not appoint on one good reason why Kuban get so much love from the Books,mybe Zalgiris with 0-3 and play bad,but Kuban didnt done anything this year they deserve such respect.
They play slow,they make too many mistakes in their attack game, and their coach has no idea waht he doing (IMO),square coach with nothing special in the sleeve. last seven games Kuban won only twice,in both cases, they have not done anything to deserved those wins,they just play square and booring basketball,this team dont know how to finish fast breaks,they can be 2 on 1 and they still waiting for the other players,so IMO team that cant make fast break points and get hot,cant deserve to be 12pts fav.
However this game is the last chance for Zalgiris to do somthing with their Euroleague camp',last game they was nice against Maccaci,but still do all it takes to lose this game,and against CSKA is not fair matchup so,except from their first top16 game blowout vs Bayren,they was decent,today one of their best player come back (Pocius) and it can improve their game a lot. so I expect to clos and low scoring game,line is fair enough to play with no concerns,good luck.
