Baskonia vs Panathinaikos Odds
Baskonia Team News
After a great start with Dusko Ivanovic as the new coach, Baskonia entered a slight counter rhythm, and in the last four games, they recorded three defeats, which was the cause of very poor shooting from distance. In the last match against Milano, they shot a very poor 18% for three points and were limited to only 67 points. The game of Baskonia depends a lot on the shooting mood of Markus Howard, who is the absolute leader of the team this season as well. In the last few games, Howard is in a worse form than we are used to from him. The true revelations of this season are Chima Moneke and Tadas Sederkerskis, who play excellently on both sides of the field.
Matt Costello, who was absent for a couple of weeks due to injury, returned to the Baskonia team and will bring additional strength to the Baskonia basket. In addition to excellent defense, Costello spreads the racket further and can hit from a distance, continuously, in high percentages. Baskonia plays at a fast pace with a lot of transition play and three-point shoots, which has been a trademark of the team from Vitoria for many years.
Panathinaikos Team News
Big changes took place in Athens this summer and it was quite expected that the Panathinaikos team would enter the season more slowly, and that everyone would get used to the game system enforced by Ergin Ataman. But as the season progresses, Panathinaikos is getting better, more coordinated, and more efficient. Panathinaikos is on a streak of seven victories in all competitions, four of which are within the Euroleague. A particularly important victory for Panathinaikos from the aspect of self-confidence is the one over Monaco away when Grigonis hit a three-pointer for 9 meters in the last seconds of the match. In the last match in Athens, they routinized Crvena zvezda, beating them by 17 points, and limited them to only 65 points.
The revelation of this season for the Panathinaikos team is Dinos Mitoglou who, along with Lessort, is the team’s most consistent player. The problem for Panathinaikos in this match could also be the problem with the injury of Kostas Sloukas, who is questionable for this match. Similar to Baskonia and Panathinaikos, they play attacking basketball, but they use inside balls much more and score from the racket compared to Baskonia. More precisely, Panathinaikos has more weapons with which it can checkmate its opponents.

Baskonia vs Panathinaikos Prediction
Baskonia plays well at home and we believe that they will not repeat the bad shooting night like in Milano, and we expect them to be much more efficient. Recently, both teams have been playing at the basket more and forcing fast basketball and play in transition. Also, the previous duels of these two teams were very efficient, and we expect the same to be the case in this duel.
