BETTING TIPS (XV): FIBA OLYMPIC QUALIFYING TOURNAMENT: SEMI-FINALS PICKS


These are my picks for the semi-finals. Sorry about the delay. Stay tuned to @TradingBaskets for more Live Betting Picks !

Nigeria - Russia. Russia -8 HT (1.90) Unibet Stake 3


(LIVE BETTING PICK) Nigeria - Russia. Russia -3,5 HT (1.90) Bet365 Stake 5 
(Bet placed at the beginning of the 2ndQ with 26-26 and FTS for Nigeria)

Nigeria - Russia. Russia -13,5 (1.95) Pinnacle Stake 3

Nigeria - Russia. Russia Total Points: Over 81 (1.90) Unibet Stake 3


After upsetting Greece yesterday in a stunning second half, Nigeria faces Russia. By no means, Russia will repeat Greek mistakes and they should smash Nigeria tonight. Too much for them playing back-to-back games vs Lithuania, Greece and Russia.


Coach Blatt will insist on deffensive intensity from the very beginning so I expect quite a comfortable win today. If Nigeria is overpowered before HT, we would have a high scoring game and I think Russia will get lots of easy baskets and we must place that bet.



Lithuania - Dominican Republic. Lithuania -4 HT (1.90) Unibet Stake 4

Lithuania - Dominican Republic. Lithuania -6,5 (1.96) Pinnacle Stake 5

Lithuania played quite a serious game yesterday against Puerto Rico. Neither Barea nor Arroyo were able to lead Puerto Rico´s offense. Lithuanian backcourt´s deffensive performance was really good and that was key  for getting through the semi-finals together with smart ball movement in offense.


Dominican Republic, on the other hand, got an incredible victory against FYR Macedonia after trailing by 20 points (37-17). Caribbean´s streetball came to life at the end of the second half with Francisco García´s stunning performance. They finally got a comfortable win against FYROM, which lacked of energy and had all its frontcourt in foul-troubles since the beginning of the third quarter. Only Bo McCalebb and Ilievski looked as good as last  year but it wasn´t enough against Dominican power.


I expect the same positive lithuanian attitude tonight. They are much more experienced and will cause many problems in deffense to the caribean backcourt. I think, as well, that Jonas Valanciunas will play a great game after his disappointing performance yesterday and will stop Martínez and Horford.
