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)

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...

Eurobasket2017 Group C: Hungary - Czech Republic

photo: Fiba.com Again pushing the big odds here. Czech's playing smart and on the basketball IQ level they are higher than Hungary, that's obstacle here. But... If we look deep into the squad Czech lost some uncontested front-runners Vesely and Shibb. There's still Satoransky but Hruban and Kritz ain't that guys to cover the loophole. What's more Hungarians didn't have a chance to see real star Hanga who's been the chief of the movement in 2016 qualification round (6W0L in group with Macedonia and Great Britain) averaging ~20ppg with lots of defensive presents. So far cuz of injuries in limited time he's been averaging only 6.5 ppg & 3.5 eff index. What if he finaly steps up to a gives his credits next to the Henchman Vojvoda? Another thing Hungary never had chance to play with full squad in friendly's. There was either Keller, Hanga (both 2 missed a lot from start) or Vojvoda missing that is 90% of the team. Well this one is basically for th...

Eurobasket2017 Group B: Georgia - Germany

photo: Fiba.com Took -3 Germany @3.40, but this one became massive. Ok still value. Georgia has strong starting line-up even without questionable Tsintsadze.They played with heart last game vs. Lithuania and always been, but i hope Germans will and must take the advantage of the home support. Markoishvili isn't the best shape so is Pachulia. Shengelia is ready for the champ while Schroder is already lights out here. So despite German lacks more individual keys as Schroder, they move ball in positional offence and odds are still worth to try cosidering all the facts. Pick: Germany -1.50 (AH) @ 2.75 6/10 William Hill (by: surrealite)
