Olympiacos Team News
Although they played without Kostas Sloukas, Olympiacos demolished Fenerbahce in Istanbul a few days ago. For a reason, they are in first place in the Euroleague with 15 wins. They look outstanding on both sides of the floor and are they not easy to outplay.
Olympiacos were one ball away from the Euroleague final last season. Now, they want to get there, and the first task is to finish regular season inside top 4 in order to have home court advantage in the quarterfinals. Sasha Vezenkov has a great chance to be MVP of the Euroleague, and several other players are in phenomenal form as well. Thomas Walkup is one of the best defenders in this competition, Kostas Papanikolau and Kostas Sloukas bring the necessary experience, plus Moustapha Fall is a real giant in the paint.
Looking at the current situation, Olympiacos are the favorite against every opponent in the Euroleague. That will be the case this time as well, although they must be cautious. Anadolu Efes are traditionally a difficult rival for them and they have rarely managed to beat them in the last few years.
