All eyes will be on Greens boss Ergin Ataman as he returns for the first time to the club that he turned into back-to-back EuroLeague champions. On the court, Panathinaikos will look for defensive ace Jerian Grant, who ranks second in the league with 2.1 steals per game, to disrupt the rhythm of Efes’s prolific backcourt scorers. That includes Rodrigue Beaubois, who has averaged 10.9 points per game and netted at least one triple for six games straight. The battle in the paint will feature Mike Daum, who made a solid Efes debut in last week’s defeat to Zvezda with 10 points, going up against Mathias Lessort, the league’s leading offensive rebounder with 2.8 per game.
