[Basketball- Euroleague] 6.11/ 20:30 Bayern- Crvena Zvezda

For today's pick, I chose a game between Bayern Munich and Crvena Zvezda. Bayern had a disastrous last season, playing really bad in the Euroleague while also not winning German league. They changed their roster this season quite a bit, but the biggest addition was a new head coach Andrea Trinchieri. After a rough preseason, it is now clearly seen the work of Italian magician on this team. They look better than last season, what is clearly shown in the standings. Key players are Wade Baldwin, Jalen Reynolds and Vladimir Lučić, who is playing basketball of his life (but his shooting splits are so far away from being sustainable).

At this point, you are probably asking yourself why are we than playing on Zvezda. Last Bayern's match against Real showed flaws in their game, which will definitely be exploited in the future. Zvezda's team this year is by far the best in the last couple of the seasons. They have an incredible depth on all positions. This team is led by an NBA champ Jordan Loyd (that's right, check his wiki), who is by far a leading scorer of the competition at the moment. They surprised CSKA at home after a big comeback, and fell just short to Khimki and Shved's heroics last week. I was talking about a depth before, and Zvezda recently also added Johnny O'Bryant to their roster. I watched him against Krka few days ago, and it was really evident how much he will provide for them. That combined with Emmanuel Terry, who was also a late addition, offers Serbians a big flexibility.

This game should be a tight one, and I wouldn't even be surprised with Zvezda winning. But anyway, we are going with a more conservative pick today.
