Two teams with aspirations far higher than their current position meet in Piraeus when Olympiacos (9-8) hosts Milan (7-10).
Game Notes: Olympiacos vs. Milan



The Italian team has bolstered its backcourt with the re-signing of Shabazz Napier, while Olympiacos could give a debut to former Milan star Naz Mitrou-Long. Milan’s run of three wins in four games has been largely based on the versatility of last week’s MVP Johannes Voigtmann and fellow big man Nicolo Melli, who has scored at least 16 points in each of the team’s three recent triumphs. After winning its last two games on the road, Olympiacos will look to build further momentum with the help of red-hot Alec Peters, who has continued to be one of this season’s top performers with 17 and 23 points in the last two games.
