21-04-2017 20:00 BST - Olympiacos Piraeus v Anadolu Efes - Euroleague Playoffs Tips
The opening game in this series was a straightforward one and the home team made light work of their Turkish opponents. This was the 10th consecutive home win in the Playoffs for the Greek side and they’ll be looking to extend this run before the week is over. The fact that the hosts only trailed for 20 second in the game shows how confident they were. There is also the fact that for the final 26 minutes of the game, the Olympiacos lead was always in double-figures.
Olympiacos Piraeus 87 v Anadolu Efes Istanbul 72
While the Olympiacos defence was of its usual standard, there was a fine run of attacking display for the hosts. There were five different Olympiacos players in double figures for the game, and if they can repeat this feat on Friday night, they’ll be sitting pretty when it comes to Euroleague Playoffs.
Georgios Printezis helped himself to a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds while Vassilis Spanoulis offered 10 points and 7 assists. However, Vangelis Mantzaris had a big impact with 14 points and you cannot overlook the 11 points and 7 rebounds from Nikola Mulutinov in the story of the game. For the Turkish side, Tyler Honeycutt provided a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, Thomas Heurtel grabbed 14 points and Jayson Granger offered up 12 points in the loss. There is a need for the Turkish team to deliver more or they could be facing a difficult situation when they get back to Istanbul for the next games.

Anadolu need a big showing in Euroleague Playoff
The Turkish side have to be better but a lot of their failings was down to the fact that the Greeks didn’t allow them to play their normal game, so that is worth bearing in mind if you’re looking to bet on Friday night’s action.
