Panathinaikos vs. Baskonia Best Bet: Friday, November 11th
The sense of urgency is there for PAO, they have lost all their home games in EL with an average 1.5 points difference, which is insane in itself. Baskonia, sitting in the top dome, is coming to Athens trying to enhance their dream start in the international competition.

Panathinaikos vs. Baskonia Preview
November 11th, 11:00 UK Time
PAO has lost all their home games since the start in EL, but the average margin in those defeats is 1.5 points, they just need to close their games better. We think an inexperienced team such as Baskonia will be perfect to get PAO started in their potential home game-winning streak.
PAO’s biggest strength is their defence, they are averaging 3+ blocks per game, whilst having 36 rebounds per game. Their game demands only a final touch, they have started showing potential in the last couple of rounds.
PAO will not miss anyone due to the FIBA qualification window today.
Baskonia has started the season in EL with a 4-2 record, overperforming in their past games.
They are shooting out of this world, averaging 90.9 points, dishing 20.5 assists on a nightly basis and all that while shooting 41% from three and accumulating 51% from the field.
Their stats are not going to be this good after a couple of hard road games, and PAO is number 1 of them. Hot OAKA arena will trouble the inexperienced Baskonia team where we finally believe they will start missing after 6 rounds of play in EL.
Baskonia will be missing T. Enoch, as disclosed previously, who is suffering from an ankle injury.
A defensive-minded coach, such as D. Radonjic of PAO will have a prepared defensive game plan for a team like Baskonia. We strongly believe they will clinch the W in the end, and the view of the standings right now does not show the real gap between these two teams.
We are expecting a 5+ points PAO victory if Baskonia does not manage to score 85 points tonight.
