The last member of the top six with a positive record travels to Turkey to try to secure its fourth win of the season. As you may have guessed, Panathinaikos is set to take on Efes on Friday evening, a team that has a balanced record at the time of writing. One thing is certain: victory for the visitors is far from a foregone conclusion, as Igor Kokoskov's team has been on a roll in recent days, with three wins in four games in all competitions, the latest of which came on the court of Olympiacos! The goal for the blue and whites? To defeat the two best teams in Greece on the European stage. Having conceded fewer than 80 points against Thrylos, the Turks know that another XXL performance in defense is essential if they are to pull off another upset.

Will Panathinaikos suffer the same fate as their rivals? That is one of the big questions surrounding this game, as the green and whites have been keeping a close eye on their opponents' latest performance. Fortunately for Ergin Ataman's men, all systems are go, or almost. They are in good form, with three wins in four games, including a victory on French soil on Wednesday against Lyon. With Kendrick Nunn still in MVP mode, the six-time champions can look forward to the best possible scenario ahead of the weekend.
