REF’s picks

UD Oliveirense come into this match in strong domestic form and have historically controlled meetings against Esgueira, including an 86-70 win in their recent friendly encounter. Giving up 16 points is a sizeable margin in basketball, but Oliveirense's offensive consistency and Esgueira's defensive vulnerabilities on the road make the favourite covering the spread the best entry here.

1. 1UD Oliveirense regularly score upwards of 80 points and possess the deeper roster to pull away.
2. 2CP Esgueira struggle defensively away from home, conceding over 95 points on average in recent matches.
3. 3A 16-point spread is large and leaves little margin for error if Oliveirense ease up in the final period.
