My Prediction
Maccabi Tel Aviv by 4Alright, let's crack into this juicy EuroLeague matchup between Saski Baskonia and Maccabi Tel Aviv, shall we? Maccabi has raw power in Jaylen Hoard, with an impressive 19.0 points up his sleeve last month alone! Not to forget Tamir Blatt, controlling the court with an average of 9.0 assists per game. Now, that's talent right there, folks!
But don’t let that completely sway you! Saski Baskonia has a pretty solid roster too. Chima Moneke has been a consistent performer with an average of 14.0 points this season. Beside him, we've got Markus Howard with his notorious agility, delivering 14 points per game last month. Now, that doesn't sound too shabby, does it?
Now, let's look a little into the past. In their previous meetings, there has been a bit of a tickle of rivalry between these two. Maccabi Tel Aviv took a solid win by 28 points in April '24 but Saski Baskonia did had their moment of glory too with a win by 10 points in February '24. It's been a bit of a bounce back and forth – an old-school tennis match, if you will.
Taking a quick look at our crystal ball of regular-season records, Saski Baskonia have managed a 6-9 record, while Maccabi Tel Aviv lags behind with 4-11. In this turbulent sea of numbers, it's finally time to drop the anchor and come to a conclusion.
