After Mathias Lessort’s dominant night against AS Monaco that made him the EuroLeague Round 21 MVP, another Greek powerhouse’s center was crucial for his team’s victory, pushing Olympiacos to the huge home win over Maccabi: it’s the case of Nikola Milutinov.
The Serbian center – named MVP of the Round for the second time this year after getting the same honor in Round 4, that time one week before Mathias Lessort – had a magnificent double-double of 20 points and 20 rebounds (career-high) – 9 of them came on the offensive end.
Since returning to Olympiacos in the summer of 2023, signing before getting the silver medal with Serbia at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, the 29-year-old unstoppable force has been averaging 8.7 rebounds and 5.8 rebounds per game. He also played for Partizan Belgrade and CSKA Moscow in the past.
