Panathinaikos (22-11) will aim to seal home-court advantage in the playoffs with a visit from ALBA (5-28), which knows it will finish in last place after losing 10 games in a row.
Game Facts: Panathinaikos vs. ALBA
The Greens are huge favorites to get the job done, showing unstoppable recent home strength with eight straight wins in Athens. The Greek team came out on top 85-99 as Dinos Mitoglou poured in 24 points with 12 rebounds in Berlin in October. And ALBA faces a massive task in slowing down a multifaceted Panathinaikos offense, typified by Juancho Hernangomez scoring 14 points with just one miss to help down Bayern last week. In the backcourt, Kendrick Nunn is playing with great confidence after averaging 17.4 points in the last five games, with multiple triples in each of those.
