Early game. GERMANY - SPAIN
Honestly, I don't see any chances for Germany team in this game. Unfortunately for Germany Nowitzki going to be alone who will be able to do something in this game. Kaman (Germany center) will face Gasol towers in the paint, but outside players will be covered by Rubio, Navarro, Calderon.
/>Only way to survive for Germany in this game is high accuracy percentage, but i don't see it happens.
Germany lost both important Group games by 11 points to France and Serbia, so I think Spain can managed to win more.
Bet: SPAIN -12
Odd: 1.71
Evening game. TURKEY - FRANCE
Turkey is team which can surprise, but not stable.....anyway they are very dangerous with good outside shooters and quality centers players - Kanter and Asik who shoots accuracy is around 60%.
I have seen 2 France games "live in Arena" and i really like them. Very interesting team with Parker as bandmaster. Compare with previous years this France team plays faster and more productive basket.
I can't see defense basketball there and expect both teams to brake 143.5 total line.
Bet: OVER 143.5
Odd: 1.90
Night game. LITHUANIA - SERBIA
Actually i was very impressed by Serbia team when i was in arena to watch them playing against strong France. Very good team with fast/good shooters players. Their Center player Krstic is "king" in the paint - just unstopable.
As a host team of this Championship Lithuania has big advantage - their stadium, their fan support. In many games it is key factor of success. Good team with balanced squad.
This game for me is 50-50 for winner and i choose basket line there. Both teams are good shooters and common with history ( 2010 - 188 total points, 2009 - 168 total points) i think teams gonna reach 160 total points in the game again.
Bet: OVER 160.5
Odd: 1.90...see more
