Spread Pick: Anadolu Efes with handicap -2.5 at 1.90 Over/Under: Over 145.5 1.90 Bet Now!
23/01/2015 16:30 – Nizhny Novgorod v Anadolu Efes
This will be the third meeting of these two teams this season and both teams has one win to their name in these clashes. Both teams grabbed an away day win with Efes winning 66-76 in early November while Nizhny gained their revenge with a 61-65 victory in Round 9 in December. This was a result which went a long way to ensuring that Nizhny made it through to the Top 16, and is therefore a big reason why these two teams are clashing at this point. The CEC Nagorny is likely to be the setting for a big clash in this game where both sides will be desperate for a big win to increase their likelihood of making it beyond this stage.

The team has managed to grab an average of 75.2 points per game in the Euroleague so far, and a lot of this is down to the success of their American players. US guard Taylor Rochestie is the key man for Nizhny so far this campaign and he has averaged 19.4 points per game while also offering an average of 5.4 assists per game.

There have been a number of key players for Efes so far this campaign and Dario Saric has been in great form. The Croatian forward has grabbed an average of 11.2 points per game and has offered an average of 5.7 rebounds per game. Stephane Lasme, the Gabon forward, has provided an average of 7.1 points per game and an average of 4.7 rebounds per game.

Taking Anadolu with a -2.5 handicap, at odds of 1.90, makes sense, particularly when you take on board that the away team has been the victor in all of the games between these sides this season. There is no reason why this trend cannot continue in this one, so be on the lookout for that. If you are looking to take the Over/Under market, look out for Over 145.5, and both of these bets are available with Bet365.
