I can’t think of a better way than celebrate Christmas with a Greek derby. The game that we were all waiting for can have extra fun if in our Biwenger teams we include a player who may be important next Thursday. Although it is difficult to know what will happen, today we write down the names of two players per team so that you live the game with passion.
As the game is played at OAKA, let’s start with the home team. Obviously, the player to look out for at Panathinaikos is Georgios Papagiannis (49M), who is averaging 23.7 points at home and will have an exciting duel in the paint against Moustapha Fall. Also, we will highlight the name of the hero from the first derby of the season, Nemanja Nedovic. He is an expensive player (54M), but he got 58 Biwenger points during the last three games he has played in EuroLeague.
If you have followed us regularly, you will know that Sasha Vezenkov is a guy-to-go in our team, so this week we propose the names of Tyler Dorsey (38M) and Giannoulis Larentzakis (13M). Dorsey hasn’t dropped below 14 Biwenger points in the last six games, while Larentzakis is a reliable option if you are looking for a player who can give points from the bench at a very low cost.
WHAT A WEEK!
It’s time to enjoy holidays… but also to enjoy great games! This week EuroLeague also gives us Barcelona-UNICS and Real Madrid–CSKA as presents.
All three games are difficult games to forecast, but we will take the risk of keeping Sasha Vezenkov and Lorenzo Brown in our starting five after a great round. Curiously, both players have a better average in Biwenger when they play away from home: 22.3 points and 24.3, respectively. Who are you rooting for this week?
