Expert picks
Over the course of the season we will have a series of experts to call on for their predictions. You can either roll with their picks when you aren't sure or even better, take your opportunity to prove them wrong and outscore them on the Leaderboard.
BCL Commentator and Surrey 89ers head coach Lloyd Gardner is at the controls with his predictions for the final Gameday of the Regular Season.
Last week, we correctly pointed you towards the points with both the Safe Pick and the Wildcard predictions.
Let's see if Lloyd can repeat the feat this week.

Safe Pick🔒
Lloyd went with Galatasaray for your safe pick this week, and it's very tough to make any real case against the Yakup Sekizkok's team this week.
CimBomBom have won five of their last seven in all competitions and sit top of Group E with a 4-1 record. Their opponents Igokea m:tel sit bottom of Group E with a 1-4 record and no prospect of progressing to the Play-Ins.
Gala have also just added 2.11m big man Clifford Omoruyi to the roster as they look to continue their push for silveware this season.
This is a team that has been built to win things and they will be looking for momentum in this one as we enter the halfway point of the season.
Wildcard 🃏
When we asked Lloyd for a wildcard pick, it seems like he truly understood the assignment and decided to place the emphasis on the "Wild" part of the word wildcard.
His pick for an upset win this week is Cholet Basket over Spanish giants Joventut Badalona.
On the surface, it would take a brave person to join Lloyd with this prediction but Cholet are in the middle of a very positive moment right now.
They just enjoyed a monumental 87-85 win over ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne, with young star Aaron Towo-Nansi dropping another eye-catching 15 pounts, and Gerald Ayayi continuing his impressive season, leading the way with 18 points and 6 assists.
The game prior to that also saw Limoges felt the sharp end of the Cholet sword as well. Ayayi had another big game with 23 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds, as Fabrice Lefrancois' team started this mini-run.
Holon hold the head to head advantage over Cholet for second place in Group C, so the Frenchmen will need to win if they want to be sure of the home advantage in the Play-Ins.
Can they do that against one of the very best teams in the BCL so far this season?
We'll have to wait until 20:00 CET on Wednesday to find out and with Holon playing Bursaspor at exactly the same time, on the final tip-off of the Regular Season, you just know to expect fireworks whatever happens.
