Barcelona Team News
After the defeat in the derby against Real, Sarunas Jasikevicius’ team will face a difficult match against Maccabi from Tel Aviv. Barca is tied for second place with a record of 13-8, but their play has been quite variable lately. They are not dominating like at the beginning of the season, but they still recorded seven victories in the last ten rounds. In the last round, Endesa won the local derby against Girona by 11 points.
However, they had a hard time losing against Real, where they had everything in their hands. They led almost the entire game, but in 4/4, Sergio Lull appeared, who scored 14 points for the quarter and took the match to overtime, and later, thanks to Deck and Musa, they won the derby.
Jasikevicius has one of the strongest teams in the league, but still, we think that some players are not used well enough. They have a huge defensive potential where they can slow down even the best attacks in the league. Nikola Kalinic plays a particularly important role in that defensive segment. While the alpha and omega in the attack are Nikola Mirotic.
Maccabi Tel Aviv Team News
Maccabi Tel Aviv has big problems when playing away. More precisely, this season Maccabi is the best home team with a score of 9-1 in Tel Aviv, while they are also the worst away team with a score of 2-9. This imbalance brings them the golden mean and the fight for the playoffs in the final total.
Coach Oded Kattash has created a very interesting team this season. The right move was the signing of Lorenzo Brown, who transferred the good games from Unics and Eurobasket to Maccabi. Maccabi has already offered him a multi-year multi-million dollar contract because of how well he performed.
In addition to Brown, Baldwin, and Colson also performed well. Baldwin has had a lot of shooting problems lately, while Colson has been a revelation this season. Maccabi is one of the most powerful teams athletically, especially since they have Josh Nebo in the racket, who is capable of reaching the top of the board but also taking over the defenders in miss-match situations.
The big question with Maccabi is whether Lorenzo Brown, who missed the last two matches due to a wrist injury, will be in the squad. Maccabi brought in Tofas center Suleiman Briamoh, while Darrun Hilliard is slowly catching up. Olympiacos took advantage of Brown’s absence to beat Maccabi, but the “Pride of Israel” put up an excellent resistance in Piraeus.

Barcelona vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction
