Thursday
CSKA Moscow +6.5 over Tau (4)
I'm probably a sucker today for taking Moscow today but whenever I see a + in front of a line for CSKA Moscow I feel obligated to take it. Today the reason why not many are giving them much hope in Vitoria is because CSKA will be missing 3 of its gun players (Smodis, Savrasenko and Papaloukas) with Siskauskas expected to suit up but his participation is questionable. Tau at home are basically unbeatable as their record over the past 3 seasons have indicated in Euroleague however even with the absentees CSKA have plenty of depth to cover: - Goree and Andersen will now start with Langdon and Holden taking up the pivot positions in the backcourt without Theo.
Leaning on Milano to beat Maccabi who have shown absolutely nothing over the past fortnight both domestically and in Europe. Their road form has been terrible for more than a season now and have already started this season 0-2 SU/ATS on the road. Milano had a very good win in Greece against Aris last week and then against Udine in the Italian A league over the weekend. Booker has definitely provided this team with more direction at PG and thereby reducing the burden on Gallinari.
