Yes, these are the best Euroleague basketball tips you can possibly find and appear under each mini game preview.
ASVEL Villeurbanne – Efes
Anadolu Efes (12-16) will try to salvage some tenuous postseason aspirations by defeating ASVEL Villeurbanne (6-22) and snapping a seven-game losing streak away from home after scoring 105 and 109 points in its previous two games.
In their October encounter in Istanbul, Efes prevailed 89-84 thanks to 19 points from Will Clyburn, who appears to be getting back to his best after scoring 17 and 21 points in the previous two games. Nando De Colo’s injury comeback has helped ASVEL; in his two games back, he has scored 15 and 13 points, respectively. In order to become the first player in competition history to score 5,000 points in a career, the French superstar must now achieve a PIR of 19, and his backcourt fight with fellow scoring machine Shane Larkin could prove to be vital.

Bayern – Zalgiris
In a crucial matchup between two fierce rivals hoping to get into the top 10, Andrea Trinchieri takes Zalgiris Kaunas (11–17) to his former’s team court in Munich, Bayern (12–16).
After giving up 109 points in their loss to Efes the previous week, in which senior leader Vladimir Lucic made 5 of 5 triples in his best game since returning from injury, the German team will be hoping for defensive improvement. The clubs faced off in a thrilling game in November, with Zalgiris winning 74-73 on to a game-winning shot from team captain Keenan Evans, who has now scored at least 18 points in each of the previous four games. Pablo Laso’s defensive setup will be centred on slowing down Evans.
1 (-3.5) at 1.91
Virtus Bologna – Real Madrid
The league-leading Real Madrid (22-6) will go to Virtus Bologna (17-11), one of the three teams now tied for fifth place, with the difficult task of ending its unexpected three-game losing run.
After suffering four straight losses, all versus teams vying for a top-four spot, the Italian squad will once more look to Toko Shengelia for leadership after he scored fifteen points in last week’s close loss to Olympiacos. When Real and Virtus met in November, Real’s offensive prowess proved to be too much for Virtus to handle as the club won 100-74 at home behind 18 points and 11 assists from Facu Campazzo. However, he has been quiet throughout the current three-game losing streak, failing to score in double figures, and this week, shrewd Virtus veteran Daniel Hackett will try to make his life more difficult for him.
Winning Margin 3-way 1-5 points at 2.70
