Zenit – Barcelona (1-2)

Zenit upset Barca in Spain in Game 1 by a narrow 74-76 and had a late shot attempt to win Game 2, as well. When that shot missed, however, the game went to overtime and Barcelona got its first win of the series, 81-78. In Russia for Game 3, Barca kept it going with a 70-78 decision. Zenit got as close as a point from the lead in the last quarter, but Brandon Davies stepped up once again to put the guests in a safe place.

Do-or-die drama comes to this best-of-five series as Zenit St Petersburg needs to win to survive when it hosts Game 4 against FC Barcelona on Friday. After having dropped the home opener to Zenit, the visitors managed to turn the series around to lead 1-2 with consecutive victories, the last on Wednesday in St Petersburg to flip home-court advantage for the second time in the series. But Barca might not need that extra home game as a victory on Friday would its Final Four ticket. If Zenit succeeds in getting the first home playoff win in club history, however, the series will move back to Barcelona for a decisive Game 5 next Tuesday.

Zenit is between a rock and a hard place. A loss would make the Russian team step down. The series has been as close as they come, and playing at home with fans Zenit will do it all to stretch its dream at least for one more game. These are the EuroLeague’s two best defenses going against each other, but in part due to injuries, Zenit has struggled a bit under the boards, so keeping players like Brandon Davies and Pau Gasol in check there could give the hosts the extra oomph needed to even the series. At this point, both teams know each other well, so Zenit will put all its heart on the court to take the series to a fifth and final game.

After struggling in the series opener, Barcelona has regrouped and managed to win two games in a row, even if neither was the least bit easy. The Catalan team leads all playoff teams in accuracy from beyond the arc, at 52.5%, and that is now proving to be crucial in pulling out these narrow wins. Barcelona’s main focus will be stopping Kevin Pangos and Baron while also concentrating on making the best defense in the league keep working at full throttle. One more win and Barca will reach its first Final Four since 2014.

Bayern – Milano (1-2)

FC Bayern Munich hopes to protect its home court once more this season when it hosts AX Armani Exchange Milan in Game 4 of their best-of-five playoff series on Friday. Bayern made history with an 85-79 win in Game 3, the first-ever EuroLeague Playoffs victory for any German club, cutting Milan’s series lead to 2-1. On Friday, again at the Audi Dome, Bayern will continue its quest to become the first team to win a EuroLeague Playoff series after trailing 0-2. Milan will look to bounce back as it aims to return to the Final four for the first time in 29 years.

Bayern dominated on the glass in Game 3, outrebounding the visitors 37-29, and did a great job moving the ball with 18 assists. Bayern needs to keep playing to its strengths. No team averages more two-point attempts this season than Bayern (41.6 per game), and that’s what the team did on Wednesday when it attempted 40 two-point shots and only 13 triples. It is a recipe that has worked for Bayern this entire season, so expect the hosts to apply it again on Friday.

Milan is the EuroLeague’s best team this season at taking care of basketball, averaging a league-low 10.8 turnovers per game. Milan was even better with 9.0 per game in the first two games of the series and had just 11 turnovers in Game 3. However, Milan dished just 11 assists on Wednesday and averages 11.3 for the series. In a hard-fought series, Milan has struggled with its shooting (49.6% 2FG and 31.0% 3FG), and until the shots start falling more consistently, Milan must stay low on turnovers to have a chance to win.

Euroleague Basketball Predictions

The Euroleague continues with a double-round week and the battle for the playoffs is taking one of its final turns. So, let’s dive straight into our Euroleague picks for today’s games. Here’s a rundown of what’s coming up.

Yes, these are the best Euro League basketball tips you can possible find and appear under each mini game preview.

Maccabi – Fenerbahce

The excellent home record of Maccabi (13-13) will be put to the test when high-flying Fenerbahce (16-9) pays a visit, hoping to maintain its top-four position with a fourth straight victory. The return to fitness of Nemanja Bjelica, who finally played his first game of the season in last week’s rout of Virtus, has boosted the Turkish team. Tyler Dorsey, another new face at Fenerbahce, could make his debut in familiar surroundings after debuting in the competition with two strong seasons at Maccabi between 2019 and 2021.

2 at 1.90

Crvena Zvezda – Anadolu Efes

Efes (13-12) is looking to extend its lead in the table with a third straight road win and inflict more pain on host Zvezda (11-15), which is in a slump after losing six of its last seven games. Facundo Campazzo will make his home EuroLeague debut for Zvezda, and his ability to overcome Elijah Bryant’s strong defensive game will be crucial. In the absence of injured superstar Vasilije Micic, the Efes guard has stepped up big time, averaging 13.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in the last three games.

Under 159.5 at 1.90

Monaco – Panathinaikos

Monaco (16-10) will look to keep the pressure on the current top four by defeating Panathinaikos (8-18), which is looking to snap a five-game losing streak. A key matchup will take place between two potent shooters facing off against their former teams: Mike James, who played for Panathinaikos from 2016 to 2018, leads Monaco with 17.0 points per game, while Dwayne Bacon, who spent last season with Monaco, leads the Greens with 17.7 points.

Euroleague Basketball Predictions

The Euroleague continues with a double-round week and the battle for the playoffs is taking one of its final turns. So, let’s dive straight into our Euroleague picks for today’s games. Here’s a rundown of what’s coming up.

Yes! These are the best Euro League basketball tips you can possible find and appear under each mini game preview.

Alba Berlin – Zalgiris

With a trip to Berlin to play bottom-placed ALBA, struggling Zalgiris (13-13) will seek to improve its poor away form (7-19). The Lithuanian team has dropped out of the top eight after losing four consecutive road games, and it desperately needs to increase its offensive output after failing to reach 80 points in any of the previous eight games. ALBA should be an ideal opponent in that quest: the German team has allowed the most points, 85.3 per game, and was defeated 88-81 in November when the teams played in Kaunas.

Over 161.5 at 1.90

Olympiacos – Barcelona

As Olympiacos (18-8) welcomes Barcelona, a big battle between second and third could easily serve as a prelude to a Final Four meeting (18-8). Olympiacos is looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Milan last week, while Barcelona is on a five-game winning streak and has the added incentive of regaining the head-to-head edge after losing 70-80 at home to the Reds earlier this season. The game’s rhythm will be important: Olympiacos has the most assists in the league, 22.0 per game, while Barcelona’s defence permits only 13.4 assists per game.

2 (+3.5) at 1.90

Valencia – Milano

Milan’s (10-15) late surge up the standings will be put to the test with a journey to playoff-chasing Valencia (13-13), which is desperate to avenge a thrashing at Baskonia last week. Milan’s four-game winning stretch – all at home – was highlighted by a strong run of form from Billy Baron, who averaged 13.3 points and 3.5 assists during that time. After permitting at least 91 points in three of the last four games, three of which ended in defeat, it’s no surprise that Valencia will prioritise defence.

Over 158.5 at 1.90

Virtus Bologna – Partizan

Virtus (12-14) will seek to get back on track against a Partizan (14-12) team that is aiming not only for the playoffs but also for a spot in the top four. Partizan’s potent offence, which averages 84.8 points per game, is salivating at the thought of facing Virtus, which allowed 104 points to Fenerbahce last week. Virtus, in particular, allowed the Turkish team to hit 20 three-pointers in that game and now faces Aleksa Avramovic, who hit 5 three-pointers in last week’s victory over ALBA, so better perimeter defence is critical for Virtus.

Partizan Over 82.5 at 1.83

Real Madrid – Baskonia

Real (18-7) will seek for their sixth consecutive win by defeating visiting Baskonia (14-12), who could not be more confident of pulling off an upset after blasting 114 points against Valencia last week. Real Madrid is expected to be without Edy Tavares, who limped off the court in the team’s last EuroLeague game on Friday, so Baskonia may attempt to gain physical supremacy after grabbing an incredible 43 rebounds against Valencia. Guerschon Yabusele, on the other hand, is expected to return for Real at an appropriate time given the probable absence of Tavares.

Under 168.5 at 1.90

Bayern – Villeurbanne

Bayern (10-16) will try to keep its slim playoff hopes alive against an ASVEL (8-18) side with little time to climb the standings. The return to fitness of team leader Vladimir Lucic, who appeared for the first time since Round 10 in last week’s win over Zvezda and instantly delivered a big performance with 20 points on 8-for-10 shooting from the field, has been a tremendous boost for Bayern. ASVEL has only lost by one point to Efes and four points to Real in its last two games, so its confidence should be intact for the journey to Bavaria.

Winning margin 7-way: 1-5 points at 2.90
