🏀 Paris vs Valencia Prediction: Over 184.5 Points @1.71

Innehållsförteckning
Why are Paris struggling in the EuroLeague?
Paris have started badly. They sit at one win and five losses, even though they played four of their six games at home. Their only win came against Zalgiris.
Last week they lost to Virtus and Crvena Zvezda without Nadir Hifi. T.J. Warren also missed the trip to Belgrade. Tyson Etienne stepped up with 24 points and five threes.
Hifi is questionable again for this game. Paris have the fifth worst offensive rating in the league. Still, they lead the EuroLeague in offensive rebounding with 15.2 per game.
What is the Valencia team news before tip off?
Valencia were unbeaten after four rounds, together with Panathinaikos. Then Olympiacos wiped out a 28 point deficit at Roig Arena. A few days later, Valencia lost at home to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Coach Xavi Albert sees a lesson in those losses, because the team changed many players in the summer. T.J. Shorts leads the way, and Nikola Mirotic has played some of his best basketball since his Barcelona days. Valencia have no injury problems.
Their offense runs at 124.2 points per 100 possessions, the second best mark in the league. Check the odds at several bookmakers before you place a bet.
Paris vs Valencia best bet arguments for Over 184.5 points
Valencia play at the fastest pace in the competition. They average 79.3 possessions per game, while Paris sit sixth with 76.7. Both teams try to finish possessions early in the shot clock.
Paris take 36.2 threes per game, more than any other team. Those long shots create quick rebounds and fast breaks. Paris also grab more offensive rebounds than anyone, which gives them extra shots.
Neither defense will slow this game down. Valencia allow 91.5 points per game, and Paris allow 90.8. Paris rank 14th in defensive rating at 119.8, and Valencia rank 10th at 114.9.
More than 80 possessions for each team is realistic. The Over only fails if both teams shoot far below their averages. With this pace, I expect the total to fall.
