Euroleague Top 16 Betting Tips - Nizhny Novgorod v Unicaja MalagaThis is a game between two sides who have suffered poor times in the Euroleague this campaign. The Spanish side are playing for pride while Nizhny know that even if they win, a win for Anadolu or Laboral will end their playoff hopes. This could dampen the atmosphere for this game but with something still at stake for Nizhny, you have to think that they are going to be up for the battle in this one.

Unicaja are already out of the running for the playoff spots and they currently hold a 6-16 record in the Euroleague. This consists of a 4-6 record in the regular season and a 2-10 record in the Top 16. Nizhny aren’t much better but they still have an outside chance of a playoff spot but they also need other results to go in their favour. The Russian side holds an 8-14 record in this Euroleague campaign so far, which includes a 5-5 record in the regular season and a 3-9 record in the Top 16. With respect to average points scored, the Russian side holds an advantage of 79.1 to 75.2.
