Greek Basketball Playoffs: 21 May

Odds from Ladbrokes:

Olympiakos-Marousi 1.05 26.00 8.00
Olympiakos(-12)-Marousi 1.90 15.00 1.90
Panathinaikos-Aris 1.03 31.00 8.50
Panathinaikos(-13)-Aris 1.90 15.00 1.90


Some comments before my picks:
Panathinaikos needs one win to qualify to the Final and either Olympiakos or Marousi need two more wins. Olympiakos -as the infos say- won't have with them Ivan Kolievic for another one match. Kolievic didn't play at the previous match too. No other absences for the any of the other three teams are known till this moment I am writing this thread.


So my first pick will be Olympiakos(-12)@1.90. The REDS are totally different team in their home and I think they will easily win this match. Marousi is a decent team but if Olympiakos play the basket they are used to in their home then they could win with even more than 20 points difference.

My second choice will be more risky. Aris(+13)@1.90 with a small coverage on tie@15.00. Panathinaikos was superb at the previous away game and with over 50% outside the line of 6.25m Aris had no chance to win that game. I believe that Panathinaikos will win this but I think that Aris will give their best not to lose this third match with a big point differece. It's a pride issue after all for the Salonica team who lost the first match by 16 points and the second one by 22!

P.S. I remind that Olympiakos-Marousi starts at 15:00(UK time) and Panathinaikos-Aris starts at 17:00(UK time)
