Mathias Lessort combined 18 points with 7 rebounds to lead the Greens to a 90-73 win over Valencia in November, but he will meet plenty of resistance from Brandon Davies, who has averaged 16 points and 5.3 boards in the last three games. Panathinaikos blew a 9-point fourth quarter lead on Wednesday night, despite 25 points from in-form Kendrick Nunn, so it will be determined to stay locked in for the full 40 minutes this time around.
