Panathinaikos and Zalgiris tonight (21:15, Novasports Prime, News Bulletin 247) cross swords in OAKA for the 8th matchday of the Euroleague.
The “greens” have before them a prime opportunity to “build” one winning streak in the tournament, as the next three games are at home and even against “passable” opponents. Apart from tonight’s game, Ergin Ataman’s team will face this week the Virtus Bologna (17/11), while, on the 23rd of the month, they will welcome Valencia.
The “clover” comes from the very good looks and the comfortable double in… verdant Berlin on it Alba (85-99), a result with which they improved their record to 3-4. In his debut Kendrick Nunn in green, Panathinaikos made his best appearance this year, showing very good elements in his game. On Sunday, they prevailed 75-65 over Aris in Alexandria making it “6 for 6” in this year’s Stoiximan Basket League.
On the other hand now, Zalgis fortunately counts two consecutive defeats in the league and Europe. In the Lithuanian championship, they were defeated 75-64 by the Wolves, while last week they lost in overtime to the Ephesus (86-82) as a result it drops to 3-4. Despite her good start, she has three consecutive defeats in the tournament.
In the races, Ergin Ataman will not be available as he has been known for a long time Ioannis Papapetroubut also him Juancho Hernangomet, who will be out for a few months. For the Lithuanians, Dimsa is doubtful for tonight.
