The hosts need to flip the script after losing three of its last four, while the Reds are aiming for a sixth straight win. Somehow stopping Sasha Vezenkov will be a priority for Baskonia after the 2022-23 MVP recorded a remarkable 45 points in last week’s rout of Bayern, but that game also showed that Olympiacos is much more than a one-man team with seven different players registering double-digit PIRs. Pablo Laso’s injury-hit team will hope to receive more inspiration from forward Nikos Rogkavopoulos, who has hit his best form of the season and recorded a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds) in last week’s loss at Virtus.
