In a one – sided motivated game that takes place at “Palau Blaugrana” tonight, Barcelona hosts Maccabi Tel-Aviv. For the Spanish side, it’s the last game of the regular season.
So, we can call it a “playoff test” for them, since they have clinched the top spot and they can’t be threatened!
In fact, they already know their opponent in the playoffs, which will be Bayern Munich. Furthermore, the Catalans surely want to avenge for their defeat in “Menora Mivtachim Arena”, where they lost by 17 points (85-68).
On the other hand, the Israelis have two games left in order to complete their journey in the regular season. They will be 5th or 6th in the standings. Practically, today, they may learn their opponent.
What I want to say is that a Maccabi defeat automatically brings them to… Piraeus for a meeting with Olympiacos. But, if they prevail in their last two games and Anadolu Efes loses in Belgrade, they will finish 5th (Milano will probably finish 4th).
There are still several scenarios, no one can be sure for the final standings and the playoffs yet. But, for what I am sure, is that Barcelona will play for their honor and will try to take the W over Maccabi.
So, if I bet here, I’ ll choose to play Barcelona with a 2.5 points handicap, an option near 1.53.
