Olympiacos faces Monaco in Euroleague playoff game three

Olympiacos travels to Monaco for the third game of the Euroleague playoff series, scheduled for Tuesday, May 5, at 20:45. The Greek club leads the series 2-0 after securing convincing victories of 91-70 and 94-64 at home in Piraeus. A win in this match would allow Olympiacos to sweep the series and qualify for their fifth consecutive Final Four, which will be held in Athens at the Telekom Center from May 22-24. Coach Georgios Bartzokas will be without Tyson Ward, who remains in Athens due to lower back pain. Monaco faces significant roster issues, with Nikola Mirotic, Alpha Diallo, and Daniel Theis expected to miss the match due to various injuries. Monaco coach Manuchar Markoishvili has called for a defensive reaction from his team to avoid elimination. The owners of Olympiacos, Panagiotis and Giorgos Angelopoulos, are accompanying the team to the Salle Gaston Medecin to witness the potential qualification.
