Euroleague Basketball Predictions
We’re right in the play-offs of the Euroleague and the home advantage is already lost in 3/4 cases. Will there be more on the road upsets tonight? Let’s dive straight into our Euroleague picks for today’s games.
Yes, these are the best Euroleague basketball tips you can possibly find and appear under each mini game preview.
Monaco – Fenerbahce
- Fenerbahce is winning 1-0 in the series
- Jonathan Motley of Fenerbahce has gone to Monaco, was sidelined for Game 1 and will be declared a game-time decision for Game 2 because of a leg injury.
- Scottie Wilbekin and Tarik Biberovic (also Fener) will be last minute decisions.
Nigel Hayes-Davis, as usual this season, led the way with 19 points and 7 rebounds in over 40 minutes. More surprising was Nate Sestina, who made 4 of 5 three-point tries to help Fener perform well from deep, making 14 of 30 shots.
Monaco will focus on perimeter defence and long game accuracy after finishing 8-for-27 in Game 1. Backcourt superstars Mike James (1-for-6) and Elie Okobo (2-for-8) must improve.
Fatigue two days after an overtime struggle may play a role for players who played less minutes on Wednesday. Monaco’s guard Jordan Loyd and big man Donatas Motiejunas had foul problems, and visiting big men Sertac Sanli and Georgios Papagiannis played fewer than 10 minutes in the series opener.

Barcelona – Olympiacos
- Olympiacos is winning 1-0 in the series
- Filip Petrusev of Olympiacos is classified as doubtful after leaving Game 1 in the fourth quarter due to a knee injury.
- Kostas Papanikolaou of Olympiacos was unable to go to Barcelona due to sickness. He won’t be able to play in Game 2.
Barca will try on improving its paint play after converting 18 of 38 two-point shots in the 75-77 loss on Game 1. Jan Vesely will be eager to rebound after a dreadful birthday, scoring 3 points with 0 field goals and 3 turnovers. Ball management will be a priority following Barca’s 17 giveaways on Wednesday.
Olympiacos won Game 1 despite little contributions from offensive stars Thomas Walkup (0 points) and Alec Peters (1), who should be fresh and motivated on Friday.
Isaiah Canaan’s three-point shooting and active defence will be needed again, and Barca’s backcourt starters must lead after Nico Laprovittola (9 points) and Tomas Satoransky (0 points) had quiet games against the Reds’ outstanding defence.
