Latvia basketball league and for starters we take Valmiera vs. Latvia University game.

Might be a possibility that Valmiera cut some budget during the offseason as they gonna start with definitely younger and less experienced roster in front with last mahican Janis Kaufmanis and a charismatic, prospect coach Sandis Valters.

Latvia’s University - the bottom of bottom teams and they hasn't changed much. I consider them to be more ready in the start of the season as 6 players took a big part of that bronze medal Latvia basketball team in Students Universiade a month ago.

What's more during the beginning there's a lot of possibilities to catch some juicy and mysterious odds in Baltic basketball league, team Siauliai (Lithuania) already proved that at the start. I don't want to go here with deep analysis, that been profitable for me for years, but if you take a sharper look and check 2015 season where Valmiera started beating Riga VEF @ 8.00 odds and in 2016 loosing to BK Ogre @ 5.00 odds you wouldn't be confused with this option here.

Pick option: FT(OT incl.) Away +11.50 (AH) @ 1.830 5/10 Bet365 (by: surrealite)

Pieno Zvaigzdes vs. Siauliai

photo: D.Luksas Probably the most high pace team Pieno Zvaigzdes meets under-offensive-performing team Siauliai with freeway thinking philosophy of basketball coach Sireika. Pieno Zvaigzdes has one modern real center from 20 century - Zukanenko (8 min per game), even coach said he's important and will give positive impact on game, but he doesn't know yet where/when to use him. Ofc he doesn't as his team is playing hell of the run&gun basketball while scoring 90 pts every game vs. weak opponents. It happend in friendly games and so during the season. Siauliai despite they improvise a lot in offence met only one high pace opponent Lietkabelis, so their totals stayed under the limit so far. Pick: FT(OT incl.) Over 161.5 (O/U) @ 1.830 5/10 Bet365 (by: surrealite)

Eurobasket2017 Group B: Israel - Lithuania

photo: Fiba.com Well if Lithuania lost accidentally to Georgia by losing control in late game the Israel had no discipline at all facing Italians. A bit pity Israel comes after 21 point lose game, being a hosts they cant make consecutive atrocious performances in 2 rounds. This is a minus on the gambling side, but technically Lithuanians can't 0/2 either. Isreal is much weaker in the paint. When Lithuania can play strech four with Kuzminskas and Motiejunas, Israel has Eliyahu who has weak body & can't shoot from the distance, Howel is 2.06 and Pnini is undersized limited veteran. If Lithuania has poor perimeter defenders on shooting guards and gonna have much trouble against Belineli & CO, Omri Casspi is the pure slowfootworking food to feed the Lion defence anchor Maciulis. Mekel can't shoot 3pt either and no matter Isreal will try to compensate their cons on playing fast I already did too much scouting in 5 mins, so I can't see any other scenario than i...

Vanoli Cremona vs Milano

photo: vanolibasket.com Opened season in benedetto Italia. Hosts Cremona "The Expendables" Vanoli this season remind me a lot of old friends gang with 2013/14 season’s fresh Capo d'Orlando company in front with nobale legends Basile, Nicevic and Saragna including another charismatic flagman coach Pozzecco. They won 2nd place in Serie A2 and started Lega Basket journey. What happend they brought some youngsters and took 14th spot in upcoming 2014/15 season, but that's on a stats. What really happened they been a tough nut to crack at home while being an average performer (Top10) with 7W and 8L in league in the time beating Milano Armani during the season as well as other tenacious rivals in very small margins, usually below 5 points. What? Yes, hold on I see some parallels 2013/15 Capo d'Orlando and this years Cremona. Cremona brought some "The Expendables" of former Banco di Sassari band. Old man Drake Diener didn't forgot those...
