Olympiacos is in good shape, but it is not the team of the first competitions that went by train to Greece and Europe. Defeats now often make their appearance (in the Euroleague) something to be expected of course. In the last one in the City he was not bad, just Efes has a much better roster and Misic and Clyburn spoke at the end and put their stamp. The last 2 defeats to Maccabi and Efes came in an identical manner with a near collapse in the last 10 minutes and perhaps this shows that the rotation is not as great anymore resulting in the team tiring in the final minutes. Some players have not yet performed as expected (Kaanan primarily and Peters and Boloboi secondly after the injury) so coach Bartzokas has necessarily limited the rotation. There are no absences except for Black who is the 7th stranger.
On the other hand, Panathinaikos seems to be recovering and counts 3 consecutive victories in the Euroleague. The first was difficult in overtime with Virtus, while the next 2 were relatively easy and in the way Radonić wants, that is, everything starts from the defense. The return of Walters from injury, the addition of Bacon, the steady rise of Williams, the awakening of Papagiannis, the defensive missions of Kalaitzakis, Lee have changed the face of the team that is now performing much better. The match is crucial for Panathinaikos, since if they lose, they lose any hope for the first place in the season and the home advantage at the same time, since they also carry the defeat of the premiere against Aris, since logically there will be no other defeat except between them match. Grigonis is the only absentee.
In summary, I think so Olympiacos remains the favorite but Panathinaikos is in a very good momentum and the scissor is not what it was at the beginning of the season. I expect a derby that will be decided in the details. Along with Panathinaikos' three-pointers as I think he will get several attempts and in the last matches most of them, especially the free-kicks, have found their target. Along with McKissick's Over who is consistently one of the team's best players in the derby with Panathinaikos.
The point I choose is ... Panathinaikos (+10.5 pts & Over 8.5 tr.) & McKissick Over 11.5 (pts,rerb,as) into a bet builder in total odds 5.20 at stoiximan.
