In the two previous games, the “red and white” had won with 88-68 in Thessaloniki for the first round of the regular season, while in Faliro they had prevailed with an impressive 100-70.

In racing now, PAOK, which has been competing for about two weeks and has only given a game in the last 25 daysis happy to count on all his players, as the team’s coach, Fotis Takianos, he has no injury problems.

On the other hand, Olympiacos traveled to Thessaloniki without him Tarik Black on assignment as the American center suffers from a hematoma on the left knee and follows conservative treatment. Let’s remember that out of the “red and white” list for the playoffs of the championship has been left Isaiah Caanan.
