2016/2017 Euroleague season started yesterday with Real Madrid easily defeating Olympiacos and I will post my Euroleague picks in this thread every week.
For today I have one combo:
1.) CSKA is even better than last season when they won Euroleague while Galatasaray have only 5 players from the last season which should make them problems until all of the new guys get used to playing together. This makes CSKA a no-brainer and my bet of the day.
2.) Macabi and Olimpia Milano are on a same level and hosts are favorites only because of the home court advantage - I expect a tight one here and Macabi staying close until the end.
3.) Crvena Zvezda lost loads of important players from the last season - Zirbes, Miller, Kinsey, Štimac and didn't bring no one special (Jenkins, Bjelica, Kuzmić) while Darussafaka once again spent money on bringing solid Americans and I don't see how this weak Zvezda team can win here.
