### Roster Rundown
Peristeri Athens will rely heavily on the sharpshooting of Jarell Eddie, who’s notched an impressive average of 18.5 points per game this season. His ability to sink threes at crucial moments has been a game-changer. Alongside him, Chris Coffey brings grit to their defense, averaging 1.8 blocks per game—he’s a wall in the paint.

Missing from the lineup are Neoklis Avdalas and Tsurgiannis, both sidelined due to injuries.

Marius Grigonis has been a scoring machine, putting up 20 points per game. Kostas Antetokounmpo, with his towering presence, averages 9 rebounds and adds another dimension to their defense.
