PAN vs BAR Dream11 Match Prediction

 

PAN vs BAR Dream11: Barcelona will be looking to make it six wins out of six in EuroLeague when they play Panathinaikos at O.A.C.A. Olympic Indoor Hall on Friday night (IST). Barca are holding down the third position on the current EuroLeague table, with a 168 record on the season heading into this game. They last defeated Olimpia Milano 84-80 in the last round, but come into this game with a shock 78-82 defeat against Valencia Basket in the Copa del Rey semi-final. So the Catalan giants are due to a big response in this game.
But it won’t be easy, for Panathinaikos are in a very good form, having won four times in the last six EuroLeague games. As a result, they have improved their regular-season record to 14-10 and now sit comfortably at 6th on the current EuroLeague table.

Panathinaikos vs Barcelona team news:

Panathinaikos: Though no player is ruled out by Panathinaikos ahead of the tilt against Barcelona they could miss three players with injuries. The reason being that DeShaun Thomas and Andy Rautins both missed some practices this week, and are doubtful, while Jacob Wiley is also considered as questionable with an injury. The trio will be monitored before the game.

Barcelona: Kevin Pangos has made significant progress in recovery from his toe fracture, but remains out of contention at the moment. In addition, the visitors could miss the services of Thomas Heurtel who picked up an ankle injury in the last EuroLeague game against Milan.

Grand League tips:

• Who else for captain but Barcelona‘s Nikola Mirotic. He is having a wonderful campaign and is a star attraction wherever he plays, The former Milwaukee Bucks star is averaging in the 20s this season. He is the safest choice for captain in Dream11 Small League teams.
• Nick Calathes is also in red-hot form for Panathinaikos. He is averaging more than 15 points per game and leads the whole league with 9.4 assists per game. He is a very good choice.
• And so is DeShaun Thomas (doubtful for this game). He has scored in double-digits in 16 of the last 17 games, and in the last 8 EuroLeague games.
