The competitive action on the EuroLeague schedule continues this week, as round 23 gets underway on Wednesday. You can find picks for every game taking place across the continent here.
EuroLeague Picks
Partizan vs. Paris
Paris have enjoyed an excellent first season in EuroLeague, and they already appear on course for a playoff spot. However, they come up against a Partizan side that have won eleven from 22 this season, and are narrowly just off the pace in the playoff race. But, the narrow edge is for the visitors, who recorded a 74-71 win in the earlier meeting this season.
Anadolu Efes vs. Milano
Milano have suffered defeats in their last two matches, which includes a heavy loss at the hands of Partizan last Thursday. But, this could be solid chance to get back in the win column against a rival that has suffered defeats in their last four EuroLeague games.
Maccabi Tel Aviv vs. Crvena Zvezda
Crvena Zvezda will have the pressure on their shoulders in the EuroLeague this week, as they bid to keep hold of a coveted playoff spot. Their recent form should give them the advantage to get over the line after winning each of their last two, and four of their last five.
Panathinaikos vs. Zalgris
Defending EuroLeague champions Panathinaikos are still looking solid at this stage of the season, and rank among the highest points scorers in the competition. Zalgris have struggled offensively this season, and that could be their downfall on Thursday.
Virtus Bologna vs. Monaco
Monaco chase a return to form after suffering an overtime loss in the EuroLeague last week. However, the defeat means that they have now lost their last three. But, wins have been a rarity for Bologna this season. Despite that, a chance could be taken on the hosts to build on their recent win over Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid vs. Baskonia
Real Madrid will desperately need a win to enhance their playoff aspirations this week. The Spanish team have been in solid recent form, winning eight of their last nine. That momentum looks hard to oppose against a Baskonia team that have a poor offensive record.
Lyon-Villeurbanne vs. Barcelona
Barcelona have been consistent throughout the EuroLeague season this term, and they could enhance their playoff aspirations this week against Lyon. The French side have one of the worst defensive records in the competition, and that could be hard to ignore when making picks.
Alba Berlin vs. Bayern Munich
An all-German affair is set for this round of matches. Bayern Munich look to have the upper-hand based on form this season, winning 12 of their 22 matches. In contrast, Alba Berlin have suffered 19 defeats in 22 rounds. An away win looks like a likely outcome.
Olympiacos vs. Fenerbahce
The top two collide in the EuroLeague in this round of games. The hosts have a healthy advantage at the summit, having won two more games than the Turkish visitors. Their offensive output makes them the highest scorers this season, and that could prove crucial.
