Olympiacos (9-6) will attempt to emerge from a surprising two-game losing slump by overcoming a Virtus team (3-12) hoping to get on a roll after last week’s improbable win at Baskonia.
Game Facts: Olympiacos vs. Virtus



The author of that triumph was Will Clyburn, whose four-point game winner at the final buzzer continued a hot streak which has seen him record a PIR of 20+ in four consecutive games. A key battle will be Clyburn’s matchup with former EuroLeague MVP Sasha Vezenkov, whose 19 points and 10 rebounds were a rare bright spot in last week’s loss at Zvezda. That game saw Olympiacos convert just 6 three-pointers, so the Greek team will need the likes of Evan Fournier to find his usual range after missing all 7 deep strikes last time out.
