Panathinaikos Team News
Panathainikos lost six games in a row in the Euroleague. They were close to beat Fenerbahce on Tuesday, but lost in incredible fashion. They led 78:75 with 30 seconds left in fourth quarter and had possession. Unfortunately for them, Paris Lee made turnover and Marko Guduric hit a three-pointer. In overtime, Fenerbahce won.
The fact is that basketball is not the only thing on the minds of Panathinaikos players. Owner Dimitrios Giannakopoulos announced that changes are coming. First, he dismissed general manager Argyris Pedoulakis. Head coach Dejan Radonjic will also have the option to fire a couple of players. It seems that Marius Grigonis will be the first to leave Athens. Despite the huge problems, Panathinaikos showed character. They played a good game against Fenerbahce, but were unlucky in the end.
Now when it’s clear that coach Radonjic has more power, the players have to prove themselves from game to game. If their effort is at level of the last game, they are certainly capable to beat Maccabi. Especially if it’s known that they had an extra day to rest and prepare.
Maccabi Tel Aviv Team News
Maccabi Tel Aviv are playing very well this season. This is especially the case in Israel where they won 8 of 9 games in the Euroleague. Their problem are road games as they are at 2-7 away from home. Against Panathinaikos, they will have a chance to improve that score.
On Wednesday evening, Maccabi beat Partizan 90:81 without any problems. Lorenzo Brown again played an impressive game, although important contributions were made by Josh Nebo and Jarell Martin. Darrun Hilliard is playing very little after a clash with head coach Oded Kattash. However, this whole situation had a positive effect on the team, at least when it comes to the results achieved afterwards.
It will be crucial for Maccabi in Athens to win the battle under the rim. When Martin and Nebo play dominantly like they did against Partizan, their chances of winning increase drastically. Defensively, they definitely have the quality to slow down Panathinaikos offense.
Panathinaikos vs Maccabi Tel Aviv H2H

All players are available for Panathinaikos. Alex Poythress won’t play for Maccabi due to injury.
Panathinaikos vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction
Since the beginning of the season, Panathinaikos has played completely differently at home and away. They always came out with a lot more energy in OAKA and we should expect that to be the case now. When it comes to the Euroleague double round, a day less to rest can be decisive and in this case Maccabi had less time to prepare.
