Increasingly confident Panathinaikos (6-4) will look to extend its four-game winning run with a trip to Partizan (4-6), which has struggled for consistency in failing to win two consecutive games all season.
Game Notes: Partizan vs. Panathinaikos

Partizan big man Frank Kaminsky enjoyed a breakout game with 24 points in last week's narrow loss against Efes, and he will look to continue that form as he faces the tough task of bettering all-action former Partizan star Mathias Lessort, who has averaged 12 points and 6.5 rebounds during the Greens' winning streak. It should be a high-scoring game between the second and fifth-highest scoring teams in the league, with prominent roles likely for in-form forwards James Nunnally (13.3 ppg., 3.9 rpg.) and Dinos Mitoglou (17.3 ppg., 6.1 rpg.).


- Last season in Belgrade, Partizan edged Panathinaikos 91-89 on a game-winning triple by James Nunnally. In Athens, Partizan held off Panathinaikos 89-91 with Kevin Punter netting 29 points and making 6 three-pointers.
