Milan (9-8) will attempt to bounce back from consecutive losses by downing one of the four co-leaders, Olympiacos (11-6).
Game Notes: Milan vs. Olympiacos



Arguably the best two forwards in the competition will go into a direct battle as Nikola Mirotic (23.5 PIR, second in the league) takes on fellow former league MVP Sasha Vezenkov (22.9 PIR, fourth-best). Josh Nebo's latest injury blow is a big blow for Milan in its bid to compete in the paint against a Reds frontcourt featuring Moustapha Fall, who is coming off his best performance of the season with 18 points on 9-of-9 two-point shooting to help overcome ALBA. The host will also need the all-round game of Shavon Shields (9.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists per game) to overcome an Olympiacos team which smashed Milan 89-68 when the teams met in October, behind 22 points from Shaq McKissic.
