Full analysis:

The series is now 2-1 in favour of Levice, who avoided disaster on Saturday, trailing by eight points with 2:10 to play, before taking the game into overtime and winning 108-102. Nitra is on a roll and knows that only a quality defence can win and bring the series back to the Haleon Arena.

I'll play the under 162.5. Sure, the teams have broken that mark twice in three playoff games, albeit by just one point in Nitra (84-79). However, both of teams made many shots in the end. Specifically, they made 7 of their last 10 shots from the field in the final 3 minutes. In other words, they made 23 points in 3 minutes and only 3 of them were free throws. With lower percentage field goals could the match ended with maybe 157-160 points.

We'll see who Coach Madzin's point guard is today - last time it was Tony Hicks. But both Kiwimäki and Trice played very well, so I don't envy Madzin's choice. If I had to guess, Finnish player won't start today and Hicks will.

The lefties out there don't play at any great pace and defend much better. Unless Levice cover the Langley brothers and show some three-point cannonade in attack, don't expect more than 160 points today. In fairness, I have the 1.75 odds down by two or three points.
