PAN vs KB Dream11: Two teams recording wins in the last round will look to keep the momentum going when Panathinaikos host Saski Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in EuroLeague round-10 at O.A.C.A. Olympic Indoor Hall, in Athens, Greece.
PAN vs KB Dream11 Today Match Prediction: Panathinaikos, in particular, will be brimming with confidence following two straight wins on the road, one each against Zalgiris Kaunas (85-86) and Bayern Munich (75-87). Panathinaikos improved their record to 6-4 on the season as a result, and find themselves 7th heading into this match.

The following players will have a big say in deciding the result of the match.
Nick Calathes is a no-nonsense choice in this game. He is a legendary figure for Panathinaikos and holds many records both at club level and in EuroLeague. He is in good form as well, and come into this game on a six-game double-digit scoring run.
Challenging Calathes for the highest scoring player in this game will be Saski Baskonia superstar Tornike Shengelia. He is leading the scoring chart for the team and averages more than 15 points per game this season.
Another player who could make a telling contribution from the bench is Luca Vildoza. The 24-year-old has been in good form all season.
—————————————————————————————————————————–
Panathinaikos team news: No fresh injury concerns or suspension to contend with for the hosts. Jimmer Fredette was a doubt before the last round game against Bayern Munich, but he was fit and played the game. So he should be fine here.
Saski Baskonia team news: Saski Baskonia will be without star guard Jayson Granger, who picked up an Achilles Tendon injury and is expected to return in March next year. Michael Eric is fit as well and should be involved here in some capacity.
