Prediction published on 12/23/25, 9:58 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 12/23/25 at 2:55 PM in EuroLeague Picks

With just one win separating them at the top of the table, Tuesday night's clash between Kaunas and Panathinaikos promises to be explosive! Playing in front of their home crowd, BCZ will be hoping to knock out one of the competition's top teams. It won't be easy, but Tomas Masiulis's side goes into the game in good form, with five wins in six games. The bonus? An offense that no one seems able to stop. The green and white have scored 100 points or more four times in this series. Paris Basket and Partizan Belgrade have suffered the consequences of an offense in top form on the European stage. If the visitors don't put in a strong defensive performance, they could be in for a rude awakening!

Fortunately, Panathinaikos is traveling to Lithuania with high confidence. The Greeks have just racked up their fourth consecutive win in all competitions. There is no doubt in the minds of Ergin Ataman and his men. They have conceded fewer than 85 points during this period and knocked out both Hapoel Tel Aviv and Fenerbahçe during the same time. If there is one team that can knock Kaunas out of the running, it is Panathinaikos.
