Pau-Orthez enter the 2026-27 season with a 2-5 record in LNB Elite, sitting 11th of 16 after a 2-5 run that has seen them win only two of their last five games. The club's net rating of -7.8 places them 14th, up from 16th a few games ago, a modest improvement that still leaves them in the lower tier of the standings. At home they are 2-1, scoring 82.7 points per game against 86.3, while on the road they have yet to win, dropping 84.2 for and 93.8 against in four outings. Gregor Hrovat leads the squad with 17.7 points and 6.0 assists per game, and Justin Briggs pulls down 6.5 rebounds on average. Their next outing is an away match against Nancy on 21 November 2026, where the Pythian model projects a 25% chance of victory.
