Maccabi finally got rid off Oded Katash. He was one of my all time favourite players, but I can say that he needs to work at a smaller club and gain some experience, before coaching at Euroleague level.

Efes overcame most of the problems, they had at the beginning of the season, when both teams faced in Nokia Arena. They started to do some defence and with the addition of Rashad Wright, the depth of squad increased. Also, Sconnie Penn started to play, like we knew him from Cibona, but does there enough difference to beat that handicap?

Nope, I don't think so, since I see Maccabi's squad, at least, as good as Efes'. They have very deep back and front courts, Vujcic will not play, but he was out at the first game and his absence shouldn't effect any game plan, or psychological issues.

I think, Efes' last two home games effected bookies, but the game against Unicaja was a clear exception. German and Haislip were missing and Efes played the best basketball of the season. Last home game against Cibona was an exceptional one, too, since Cibona didn't play any defense, any basketball at all.

Now, as this is a must win game for both teams, I predict nothing but a tight game, since visitors have sufficient material, whereas Efes will miss Serkan Erdogan and Kuqo&Nicholas have some minor injuries.

My estimated line is nothing more than 2.5, 3. Medium-high stakes.
