Euroleague Round 24 Best Bets:

Crvena Zvezda vs Olimpia Milano Best Bet

Crvena Zvezda had a very difficult start to the season, but their persistence has made them an excellent value bet multiple times this season. They play very solid defence, especially at home, allowing an average of just 68.2 points on the season, and keeping opponents to 31.7% for 3, and 51.5% for 2-pointers. With a record of 8 wins and 12 losses, they are sitting in 14th place in the Euroleague standings, but a lot of their losses were very close, and they have been excellent against the spread. They are coming off an important road win against Olympiacos Piraeus, and I expect yet another excellent defensive performance at home.

Meanwhile, Olimpia Milano have been rolling recently, winning 4 games in a row, and climbing to 3rd place in the Euroleague standings. But their offence hasn’t been clicking recently, going for 67 and 65 points in their last 2 games. This could be an excellent opportunity for Crvena Zvezda to take advantage of the +3.5 point spread. I expect this to be a very close game with a lot of solid defence by both teams, but seeing as how 91% of bettors are backing Olimpia to win tonight, the value is with the home underdog.

Tip: Crvena Zvezda +3.5 at 1.95 odds

Panathinaikos vs Monaco Best Bet

Panathinaikos earned their first win of 2022 last week by beating Baskonia by 75-63. They have provided a lot of betting value in the handicap market this season due to their reputation as a struggling team, but this era has come to an end. They were favourites in their last game against Baskonia, and they are considered slight favourites now. But they are facing a team that is on the rise, and I’m afraid I have to bet against them tonight. The bookmakers have them at 1.90 odds to cover the -1.0 point handicap, but Monaco are simply in too good form to ignore.

In fact, Monaco have won 4 of their last 5 games, and are coming off a double-overtime loss against Real Madrid. Their offence has been solid all season, averaging 82.6 points per game on 36.8% from beyond the arc. But it’s their defence that has stepped up recently, allowing almost 7-points fewer in the last 5 games than their season average of 82.5. They are carrying a lot of momentum coming into this game, and I don’t think Panathinaikos can keep them at bay.  Monaco beat the Athenian team by 75-63 in their first encounter of the season, and I expect more of the same in this game.

Real Madrid vs Olympiacos Piraeus Best Bet

Real Madrid are the top team in the Euroleague at the moment with 18 wins and just 3 losses this season. They are on a 7-game winning streak, but coming off a close double-overtime win over Monaco. They struggled to score all game, especially in the 1st and 4th quarter where they only netted 16 and 10 points. They are heavy favourites in this one at 1,07 odds to win, and with 96% of bettors picking them, Real Madrid are unbackable. The handicap is set to 13.5 points, and there is no value whatsoever in betting on them in Round 24.

Meanwhile, Olympiacos are riding a 3-game losing streak and are sitting 6th in the Euroleague standings. They are coming off a close 76-72 loss to Crvena Zvezda, and are coming into this game as heavy underdogs at 9.00 odds to win. They are severely underrated at the moment, and despite their recent struggles, this team has scored 80 points per game on solid shooting numbers and 17 assists per game. It’s just a matter of time when they will get back on their feet, and they should have no problems covering the +13.5 point spread. With only 4% of bettors backing them to win, they provide excellent underdog value.

Tip: Olympiacos +13.5 at 1.90 odds
