Olympiakos - Fenerbahce (N. Kalinic total rebounds)

Happy new year to everyone! The new year is already in its first days but the action on the floor of the Euroleague does not stop even during the holidays since the 17th game is taking place which marks the end of the first round of the event. Olympiakos welcomes Fener to SEF but the course of the teams so far is not reminiscent of anything in the previous years that they were even faced in a Final Four final. The hosts are in a transitional stage and are trying to adapt to the, for another year, reduced budget and the lack of games in Greece while the guests, although at the beginning of the year seemed to be one of the big favorites, have not managed to look competitive and are far from the places that lead to the playoffs. Today's match has many difficulties for Obradovic's team as in addition to the given chemistry problems he has to face the absences of the whole line of tall players since none of Veseli, Lovern and Duverioglu traveled to Athens leaving the Serbian coach alone with the new coach. but not a clean center Thomas and the thirty-four Williams, Kalinic and Datome. So to fill the gap in the racket requires overcoming one of the specifics, if not all of them, and the fact that the limit of the hard-nosed Kalining is at 2.5 rebounds makes me look at it. The Serbian forward has started the year mediocre but the hard work he does is necessary for every team and in this way he has won the confidence of Obradovic and I believe that today he will be able to collect more than 2 rebounds with relative ease.
