High-flying Virtus (10-4) will attempt to at least maintain its share of second place with a visit from faltering Olympiacos (7-7), which has slipped down the standings with three losses in four games.
Game Notes: Virtus vs. Olympiacos
Seasons
3 Mins read
Offensive production is becoming a major issue for the Reds, who average just 76.4 points per game (third worst in the league) and were held to just 56 points in last week's home loss to Valencia. Isaiah Canaan does remain a constant deep threat with at least one triple every game this season, but he could be outgunned by the likes of Isaia Cordinier, who has made 6 of his last 8 attempts from long-range for a Virtus team which ranks second in the league in assists (20.2).
