San Antonio Spurs in Lyon, France

Another good match up and with Manu Ginobili sitting out the money has shifted strong to Maccabi Tel-Aviv +11 at -130 to Spurs +120 this line opened at +10 with early Spurs money pushing the line to +11. The tell tale signs of each teams previous matches, both teams crushed their opponents, and the ease of which they were able to score also pushed the Total from 190.5 to 191 with decent money build up on the Over at 191. But when I view their respective last games I see that defense was the key in domination especially for the Maccabi Tel-Aviv win. Spurs worked on their half court set for their last practice and my thoughts are Pops will play the basic Spurs solid "D" and patented half court game to win. Not sure about ATS, but no easy points today.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv/San Antonio
Under 191 at +106 for 2 units(W)

The Over money pushed the Total to 193! That was not Sharp money as the wager limit was too low for the Pro's.
1-0 +2.12 units

Good luck!
Although I know Maccabi as high-scoring team, but maybe things changed. Tel-Aviv hired new head coach Neven Spahija in place of Pini Gershon, who loved to attack the basket not much worrying about defense. Will see how new coach points the priority.

Spurs cover ATS.

Maccabi vs CSKA... I have no line yet at Pinny.

Just..want to mark. There is no else more implacable rival for CSKA than Maccabi.
As guy who lived with Red-army club three years as correspondent, promiss - CSKA needs this win against Tel-Aviv.
Yellow team interrupted our winning road in two Finals Four in Euroleague. And in the third Final, CSKA didn't leave any chances for them.
Papaloukas, Pashutin, Holden, Andersen, Savrasenko sure will have the battle mood.
CSKA has a great passion right now. They are hungry about wins and beat their rivals in double figures even in PreSeason game. Messina's team in good form.
My lean, CSKA will cover the spread.
