ACB Sunday

Fuenlabrada v DKV Joventut



6th December 11:30 GMT

Fitch will play today, coming back from his injury and that is great news for the local team. He played against Cajasol already, but you could tell he is in a bit rusty and not 100% healthy. With him injured and having a bit of a tough schedule, Fuenlabrada are already with 6 straight losses after 4 - 0 to start the season. They can't allow themselves to lose two home games in a row against teams of their level.

Tucker is great player, but the current Joventut doesn't offer much else besides him and Tripkovic. Batista with great presence in the paint can be enough against Joventut's big man and with Thomas and Fitch in the backcourt and Burstein coming off the bench for them; I can see here an easy home win. Still, the bad run makes me take this bet carefully, since you can never know what goes on in the locker room.

Pick: Fuenlabrada -2.5, 1.96 odds - 3 units play - Pinnacle


Lagun Aro v Xacobeo



6th December 17:00 GMT

I just can't see Xacobeo getting single digits line and not go against them. Yes, they are improving and yes, they got some decent players. Still, this is a team without identity as far as the players go, team with players more worried about making their stats than to get wins.  Now as I understand, they are hit with injury problems that should leave Jackson and Pasalic out of this game, the bet looks even better.

Bruesa looks as I thought they will this season.  A mid table team without any too big names, but a wide roster of solid ACB players. Panko and Ignierski should take advantage of Jackson's absence to control the paint and lead their team to an easy win.

Pick: Lagun Aro -7.5, 1.91 odds - 3 units play - Bet365
