Here we have typical match where odds are opened according to statistic and last results. Karpos favourite against MZT? How, yes no... This all went too much in favor of Karpos. They have changed coach and since then they came from the position of the worst team in the league with the worst players in the league (many of them are Serbian league level) to the team to be favourite against Cibona, MZT, Mega at home, which is fascinating for me. Yes, Nikolic made big improvement to this team and they are playing much better than they were doing without him, but this is too much. Yes, they are in good form at home beating Mega, Krka, Mornar and Cibona, but they had a lot of luck that they met Krka without Lukovic which is in 7-8 losing streak, Mornar without additions and in awful form, Cibona who stayed without Zizic and Mega who played without Kaba and Jovak and still had the chance to win at the end. But, in the same time they were losing away to Zadar by -20, Igokea by -10, Sutjeska and Feni by -5 and -15 etc. So, the fact is Karpos is better than they were 2 months ago when they could not beat anyone, but they are far from the team better than 2nd place from bottom. Simply with players like Labovic, Sokolov, Trajkovski, Sepa, Perry, Zekovic you cant be favourite against any team.
MZT on the other side has lost the season big time after being TOP 4 contender according to player names - Kloof, Thames, Diabate, Massey, Sinovec, Drenovac, Scott, Lalic, Lucic, Clark... but they made huge error with coach as they always do and the season went to another way fighting againts relegation. Of course they wont relegate and they have been cutting their squad and players who cared 0% for this team and who gave 0% for the team so they stayed without Diabate, Massey, Lucic etc... and they changed head coach so they brought Nazor. They have made some wins with him on the bench and they are looking better but they are far from being what I expect from them. For me, with good coach and with good preparation, this team is better than Partizan, and most probably even better than Buducnost, but that is not needed to talk right now as they are fighting against relegation. They have destroyed Zadar in the last round at home by 92-65. THe most important thing is that Clark is recovered and he is ready for this match as he played even against Zadar, as well as first center Lalic who had broken nose so he skipped few matches in a row.
So, all in all, I am shocked to see Karpos as favourite against MZT. Simply, Karpos is overrated like nothing after good wins at home but they just cant be favourite for sure. They have made those wins but against Krka, Mornar, Cibona, Mega who are just avarage teams and those matches could turn into another way easily. MZT has beaten Zadar by +27 last round and that is good sign for me, as well as receovery of Lalic and Clark who are so important players for this match. MZT is much bettre team than Karpos for me and with those two back in the starting line up, with Thames, Kloof, Drenovac, Scott, Simonovski and most probably Sinovec who should come back today, I cant see way Karpos to win this one. These two are Makedonian teams so there is no away court at all. MZT was -17 favourite against Karpos at home in the first half of the season, and seems like the situation has changed for 20 pts against MZT / in favour of Karpos meanwhile which is hard for me to accept. MZT is better team on ALL positions (from PG where Kloof and Thames are NBA for Perry, up to SG and F where Sinovec, Drenovac are players to play in any of Buducnost, Cedevita or Partizan without problems, up to PF and C where Clark, Scott and Lalic are TOP 4 teams material without problems, compared to Labovic, Zekovic etc...). Simply MZT is class above Karpos and when you beat Zadar by +27 with Clark not on 100% and Lalic just coming from injury, then you are clear favourite against Karpos with both of them fully ready and most probably with Sinovec as well. Call me crazy but I see MZT comfortable win here by ~10 pts difference.
