The most important Greek derby in years will see Panathinaikos (18-10) attempt to keep hold of third place by winning at Olympiacos (17-11).
Game Facts: Olympiacos vs. Panathinaikos



Both teams are in great form, with the Reds winning five in a row while Ergin Ataman's team has triumphed in three straight. The opening-week meeting between the teams saw Olympiacos win 78-88, powered by 17 points and 10 rebounds from Alec Peters, meaning Georgios Bartzokas's team has now won five derbies in a row. But Panathinaikos could not be more motivated to end that slide and will look to feed off the energy provided by Mathias Lessort, who has a PIR of at least 20 in five consecutive games. Two of the league's best defenders will also battle for backcourt dominance as Thomas Walkup takes on Jerian Grant.
