Olympiacos News, Injury Report, Schedule: Europe’s Best
Losing only one of their last 14 games across all competitions, Olympiacos are Europe’s form team and deserving favourites for this clash in Piraeus. They boast an impressive 12-2 record at home in the EuroLeague this season, with the competition’s best overall net rating, too.
The absences of Thomas Walkup, Keenan Evans, and Moses Wright aren’t too much to worry about. Sasha Vezenkov has maintained his MVP-level play down the stretch, even if Evan Fournier has endured a shooting slump.
This Olympiacos team is the best offence in Europe. They also have the size to dominate this Red Star team physically, considering that the club from Belgrade are without their two most important frontcourt players.

Losses to Zalgiris, Bayern, and Milano in the last 30 days leave Red Star in an uncomfortable position in the EuroLeague standings. A loss on Thursday evening could see them fall out of the playoff positions altogether.
Luka Mitrovic is questionable for the Serbian club, while Filip Petrusev, Mike Daum and Joel Bolomboy are all confirmed absentees. A loss to Cedevita Olimpija was a blow recently, but Red Star can take some solace from a much-needed win over Mega last time out.
