BETTING PICKS (XX) AEROSVIT CUP 2012: ISRAEL - BELARUS

This is my pick for the first friendly game of Aerosvit Cup played in Ukraine: I have to hurry and I won´t be able to explain it as I´d like...

Israel - Belarus. Under 157.5 points (1.94) Pinnacle. Stake 3

Israel NT will be playing today their first preparation game. Many important sidelined players today as Casspi, Eliyahu and Halperin haven´t travelled to Ukraine. In addition to these absences, Guy Pnini has a minor angle agravation and should play limited time today. So they will rely on naturalized american CG Alex Tyus (who will be making his debut with Israel NT) and PG Yogev Oyahon. 

They will face Belarus NT, which is still without their top Cs (Veremeenko & Parakhouski). They will rely in long-range shots of their backcourt players, specially, PGs Kudryavtsev and naturalized american CG Dante Stiggers.

Andrei Krivonos will have the same roster that played a couple of matches last weekend. Losing both games against France (84-64) and Belgium (79-54): Nikolai Alekseev, George Kondrusiewicz, Korshuk Denis, Alexander Kudryavtsev, Lashkevich Alexey, Nikita Meshcheryakov, Meshcheryakov Yegor, Alexander Pugstovar, Dante Stiggers, Alex Trostinetsky, Pavel Ulyanka & Charikov Sergey. 

IMO the line is too high regarding the early stages of preparation of both teams and so many important sidelined players.
