Look at the stats:

Teramo is in very bad form. 14th with 6-12 at home 2-7 and last 10 games 2-8. With 3 loses in a row and last 5 home games 1-4 with loses against the last 2 teams in the league. On the other side we have Bipop Carire(Reggio Emilia) who play in ULEB Cup and lost the away game at Ventpils with 1 point in the elimination round, which is very good result. They are 10th and are very good home team, but away they are not so solid 2-7, but if we look closer we can see that most of these loses are against the leading teams and only with few points. So I expect to win against Teramo.

Key factor: Bipop is better team, in form team, with motivation for better place.

ORL Magic @ PHI 76ers ,
PHX Suns @ MIA Heat ,
DAL Mavericks @ SEA SSonics

PHI 76ers -1.5 -> 1.50
MIA Heat -1.5 -> 1.38
SEA SSonics +11.5-> 1.30

Combo at bet365.

Aek-1,5 x Zalgiris ML x Barcelona -1,5
1.41 x 1.20 x 1.35

Again one combo from me in bet365 playing with the lines. This look very good bet for me. I gave 10/10.

For Zalgiris and Aek you can read my preview, that I posted earlyer.

For Barcelona not much to say. Cibona is out of form. Their only good player will be trade to Dynamo and he is allready in Russia. So without him against a class team like Barcelona, who will try to secure their qualification for Top 16 and if they can to fight for 3rd place, they have no chance to win.

Ulker 3-8 at home 1-4
Partizan 2-8 away 0-5

OK I know Ulker is favourite here, but I think Partizan is underastimate from the bookis too much. Yes they havent play very good at the begining but last few games they show very good form. They are very young but very good team. Last Euroleague game they have lost only with 1 point 93:94 against PAO. In ABA they are 1st. They have won only 2 games and one of them against Ulker with 16 points.
This is very important game for bouth teams. Ulker is in must win situation, ok Partizan too but they are more relaxed because if they don qualified for Top 16 it want be the end of the world for them, but Ulker at home after home lose against Real there will be a lot of pressure over the team. And now maybe the reason of my bet is that Kultulay and Turkcan are out. IbrIbrahim Kutluay (198-F/G-74), the successful player of Ulker Istanbul was injured in the last training. The medical treatment is being done at the moment and his situation will be clear tomorrow. On the other hand Mirsad Turkcan (206-F-76), the Top rebounder of Euroleague, will be away from the courts for 15 more days due to his injury.(Source eurobasket)
So I expect close game. Partizan without presure and with very good players in form, against in must win situation Ulker who will miss two of their best players, one is top scorer of the team the second top rebounder of euroleague. They still have quality players but this +8,5 from omnibet for this odds is crazy. Most of the other bookis have already +7,5 with odds around 1.90.

So first let us take a look on the standings. First 4 team have already reach the Top 16 and last 4 teams fight for 5th place. Ulker, Siena and Pau Orthez are 3-8 and Partizan 2-9. In this round Pau Orthez play at home against Siena and Ulker at home against Partizan. For me favourite for 5th place are Ulker and Siena. Partizan is in very good form latley so they can do something too but the game away to Ulker will be very important. After this game Pau Orthez play away to PAO and at home against Unicaja. The best teams in this group and I doubt they can win. Siena has games against Real and very important away game against Ulker so they still have everything in their hands.
For this game the stats don’t say anything. They are not so important in this game. Pau Orthez 1st in France against Siena 1st in Italy. Pau Orthez in bad form 1 win in their last 4 games in France and only 1 win and in Euroleague they won 2 times against Partizan (last in the group) and one away win against Real (very unexpected). Siena on the other side is very unpredictable team. In their domestic league they started with 5 wins in a row then they won at home and losta away some games and now they have again 6 wins in a row. In euroleague the same story they won first 2 games and then they won only one from 8 games. If we look closer to their games they have lost 4 times against the best 2 teams in the group which is not a shame and 3 from the other 4 loses are with 4 points. Siena is not the same team as last year but they have good roster and some very experienced players.
Bouth teams will be motivated and home advantage isn’t so big in this game for Pau. In the last domestic game Siena won against Benetton 75-66 and this win gave them more confidence for this game. I expect in a low scoring game Siena to take the victory. They are the better team and in better form, but it wont be easy for them.

Pick: Siena -2 5/10

Key factor: Siena in better form with better roster
