Bet highlight:

1. Nymburk without four players of Czech national team
2. Dangerous shooters from Olomoucko (Carter, Wertz, Wright)
3. Fourth match for Nymburk at last eight days

Full analysis:

Nymburk will play two NBL games during the national team break, starting today against Olomouc.

The reason why the Central Czechs are playing without four players is simple. Nymburk are likely to go far in the Champions League this year. Tabellini's side therefore want to minimise the number of weeks in March (and April) when they have to play three games.

Nymburk will be without Bohacik, Hruban, Sehnal and Kriz. That means five foreigners and Svoboda, Rylich, Tuma, Mikyska and Kováčik.

The champions have an impressive record in the Czech-Slovak Cup, beating their opponents by an average of 50 points.

But today may not be such a straightforward affair. Olomoucko is having a solid season, the Americans are thriving and have added Petruzela to their rotation at the pivot position. The only thing against this pick is the indecisiveness of Olomoucko, who haven't played in almost 14 days.

Moreover, Nymburk are merciful in the league in February. Ústí (even before the 36-12 start) only beat them 89-79 and Děčín 124-107 without the suspended Walton. And that was practically it.

Today I would see the handicap limit at odds of 1.84 somewhere around 18.5. I expect a more over duel (you can also bet on over total or 75.5 OLO) result of around 97-81.
