EuroLeague Collapse Still Fresh for Panathinaikos
No matter what they achieve in the Greek Basket League, Panathinaikos’ season will likely be labelled a failure after missing out on the EuroLeague Final Four tournament which was hosted at OAKA Arena last weekend.
Ergin Ataman’s side held a 2-0 lead in the quarterfinal series against Valencia but then suffered three consecutive defeats to crash out of the competition in dramatic fashion.
The Greens finished the Greek Basket League regular season in 2nd place with a 19-5 record and cruised past Mykonos in the quarterfinals with convincing victories, 99-75 at home and 90-76 on the road.
PAOK Enter the Series Full of Confidence
PAOK were also active on the European scene this season, reaching the FIBA Europe Cup grand finals. They won the opening leg at home 79-73 against Bilbao but failed to repeat that performance in Spain, suffering a heavy 89-74 defeat in the return match.
Speaking of their domestic campaign, the Double-Headed Eagles finished the Basket League regular season in 3rd place with a 17-7 record.
PAOK’s defensive discipline allowed them to cruise past Peristeri 2-0 in the quarterfinals, winning the opening clash at home 91-79 with excellent free throw execution (26/29), before securing a 77-72 road victory where Patrick Beverley led the scoring with 19 points.

Verdict
PAOK have been out of competitive action for more than 20 days which could negatively affect their offensive rhythm. Panathinaikos are also dealing with pressure and uncertainty after their EuroLeague disappointment, so under 170.5 points looks like the best betting option here.
