A major showdown between two of the four teams tied for fifth place will see Panathinaikos (7-5) attempt to end a two-game losing streak against similarly struggling Barcelona (7-5), which has lost three in a row.
Game Facts: Panathinaikos vs. Barcelona

Greens playmaker Kostas Sloukas will make his 400th career appearance and attempt to outshine one of the league's fastest rising backcourt stars, Juan Nunez. Barcelona will have to deal with the athleticism of Mathias Lessort, who has averaged 16.5 points and 8.0 rebounds over the last four games. That will involve stretching the floor through Jan Vesely, who is on track to attempt more three-point shots than any season since 2011. Scoring threat from the backcourt will be led by Kendrick Nunn, who averages 20.6 points in the last five games, and Kevin Punter, whose 27 points were not enough to defeat Real Madrid last week.
