Paris (14-9) will attempt to stay in the all-important top four by overcoming league leader Olympiacos (17-7).
Game Facts: Paris vs. Olympiacos



The French team, which has won three of the last four, will hold no fear after already beating Olympiacos this season in Piraeus, triumphing 90-96 in December behind 21 points and 8 assists from playmaker TJ Shorts. One of Shorts’s main competitors for this season’s MVP award, Sasha Vezenkov, will have revenge on his mind after only making 4 of his 13 field-goal attempts in that game. The Reds will also be aware of the threat of Tyson Ward, who combined 14 points with 5 rebounds and 3 steals in Paris’s win in Piraeus, and will hope for another strong game from big man Nikola Milutinov after his 11 points and 7 rebounds in last week’s win over Efes.
