Barcelona – Olympiacos: With Sikma and Brazdeikis in the 12, the “red and white”

Olympiacos faces Barcelona for Game 1 of the series with Ignas Brazdeikis and Luke Sikma in the 12. Apart from Michalis Lountzis, Naz Mitrou Long and of course Kostas Papanikolaou who did not travel. MISSION TO BARCELONA: Konstantinos Melayes.

THE Olympic traveled to Barcelona with a very important absence. His Kostas Papanikolaou which will not compete in the first two games of its play offs EuroLeague opposite to Barcelona.

So the George Bartzokas ended up in the playing 12 for Game 1 with Ignas Brazdeikis and the Luke Sikma inside. The ones left out Michalis Lountzis, Naz Mitrou Long and Giorgos Tanouliswith Bartzokas as it is logical to prefer his tall ones.

The absence of Papanikolaou deprives the “red and whites” of size and Brazdeikis is expected to find a place in the rotation. Something that could happen with Luke Sikma as well, if Alec Peters comes down to compete in the “3” position.
