Maybe it doesn't make sense to bet on the last team of the league, but trust me, Torino will be a lot higher on the table soon enough. Dyson coming back, Goulding coming in are great news, and now the five Dyson-Goulding-Eyenga-White-Ebi look phenomenal. No exaggeration, they can beat anyone in the league now. They won three of the last four home matches, including the current champion Sassari, and the great Cantu. They used the two week break to settle the team, and they'll be very dangerous now. The same can't be said about Varese who look really bad. They didn't get to rest because they're playing the FIBA Europe cup where they had to play away in Turkey. Their new point guard Wright still didn't prove to be the reinforcement they needed, and Varese are the likely candidate to replace Torino at the bottom. They've won only two of ten away matches this season, and I'm convinced that score won't improve today. Details

Real are now setting off to try and beat the team that owes them. Fuenlabrada shocked them home but this game is a whole different thing. real will have Llull, Lima in the paint and form that is much better. They are also very motivated. On the other hand, we have a team that is brilliant home but as soon as they go away, things start falling apart, They lost by 22 to Murcia, b< 24 to Laboral, by 16 to Valencia. Granted, Real are not the home team today but for a team that beat Khimki away that clearly isn't important. Besides, be sure that the slap Real got from these opponents last month still stings.

Even though Gran Canaria's coach said that he thinks that Valencia will win the Cup of the King, we should mention that Garcia Reneses is an experienced coach and that was his way of putting pressure on their opponents. Spanish media also helped him with that, because they all declared Valencia the favorites of this tournament and Pedro Martinez did not need that pressure. In the last month, 'invincible' Valencia lost four times, there is no more magic in their performance and they have become insecure. Gran Canaria, on the other hand, won 11 out of 12 games in that period and they are coming to the Cup of the King with full team and aware of the fact that surprises are always possible here. The quality difference between the teams in not as big as the first game in Valencia showed, when the home team won by 25 points. Today they are playing at a neutral court, Granca are in much better form, Valencia in worse form and we could easily see a surprise here, and as a safer option, I decided for the counter-handicap. Equally as good option is Valencia's team under at the margin of 80,5 points. Details

Pistoia are second on the league table, but we have said already that they don't belong there based on their quality. Latest injuries are a consequence of constant playing with only 8 players. In the last round they almost lost at home to Pesaro who had a 18 point lead. In the end they won, but now they are without Filloy, Blackshear, Czyz and Knowles are questionable and that would be a problem even for a team with wide roster, let alone for them with only 8 players in rotation. Trento aren't having such problems, all of their players are healthy, and that means they will play aggressively and at a high pace which Pistoia cannot follow. Trento showed their great form with two wins over Karsiyaka and I am sure they will continue winning today. The odds are set based on the position on the table which is not realistic because Trento are a much better team than Pistoia and they will prove that. Details
