The only reason why Bazile is favorite in this game is because he scored 17 points in the first game at Tel Aviv,he scored 5 3pts shoots,2 of them in the last 30 sec.

Beside that,there is no reason for him to be favorite in this matchup.

Halperin is one of Maccabi's most importent players,and Coach Sherf is treatment him like that,letting him play around 30 min Pg,last game he played 35 minutes scoring 11 pts in a very solid game. Since Sherf came Halperin is looking much better with more confidence,in the last 2 most importent games , Halperin scored 17 at home against Zalgris and 16 at Madrid,also in the huge victory over Olympiacos he scored 16 pts.

Basile is Madrid's 4th scorer,but beside the game against Maccabi he scored only once over 10 pts in the top 16,at their huge win over Rome,against other strong teams such as CSKA and Unicaja he scored 8 pts at home and playing around 27 minutes.

Basile will become a target for Maccabi defense after last game shooting display,on the other hand,Halperin was also a main target for Barcelona and he will remain their main target tonight.

We also have to consider tight game t'ill the end,as i expect,in that situation,Haplerin is Maccabi's 2nd best FT shooter and as so he will go to the line,while at Barcelona it will be most likely Lakovic.
