Thursday, February 12
Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. Virtus Bologna (18:30 CET)
Efes (8-19) will look to extend their impressive recent turnaround by further damaging the playoff aspirations of a Virtus (12-15) team in clear decline. The Turkish side won both games last week thanks to notable offensive improvement, largely driven by Jordan Loyd's return from injury, hitting 7 of 12 three-pointers. Virtus had a very different week, with two costly losses, and needs an offensive response after scoring just 70 and 77 points in those games. The Italian team will look for leadership from veteran Daniel Hackett, who posted his first double-digit scoring performance of the season with 14 points in the loss to Olympiacos. Hackett will try to contain the creative talent of Saben Lee, who dished out 8 and 6 assists in Efes's victories last week.
Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv vs. FC Bayern Munich (20:05 CET)
Two teams fighting to climb toward the playoffs face off in a must-win matchup, with Maccabi (12-15) hosting Bayern (12-15). The German side arrives on a hot streak with four consecutive wins, powered by the three-point shooting of Andreas Obst, who hit 10 three-pointers in the last two games. With the head-to-head tiebreaker very much in play, Bayern takes confidence from their dominant 95-71 victory over Maccabi last month, led by Vladimir Lucic's 17 points and 7 rebounds. However, the hosts remain undefeated in Tel Aviv and arrive fresh off a dramatic road win against Zvezda. In that game, Jaylen Hoard and O'Shae Brissett combined for 10 offensive rebounds, so protecting the rim will be key for Bayern. The German side boasts the league's second-best defense, allowing just 82.7 points per game, and will focus on limiting the impact of Jimmy Clark, who scored 21 and 22 points in last week's games.
Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (20:15 CET)
Second-place Olympiacos (17-9) will look to protect their position against Zvezda (16-11), who want to start a new winning streak. The Greek powerhouse has won five straight games at home in Piraeus, surpassing 100 points in three of them, with Tyler Dorsey hitting five three-pointers in the latest victory over Virtus, which ended with a season-high 109 points. Zvezda arrives motivated to shake off the frustration of a narrow home loss to Maccabi last week, and point guard Codi Miller-McIntyre will be especially determined to bounce back after going 1-for-10 from the field in that game. Three of the league's top rebounders will be on the court, with visiting Chima Moneke (7.0 rebounds per game) looking to match up against Nikola Milutinov (7.5) and Sasha Vezenkov (6.9), in one of the game's key factors.
FC Barcelona vs. Paris Basketball (20:30 CET)
Top-4 contender Barcelona (17-10) will try to strengthen their candidacy by beating a high-paced Paris (8-18). The hosts showed their ball-movement ability with 24 assists in their road win over Baskonia, and they're confident that Nico Laprovittola and Tomas Satoransky will create good scoring opportunities against the team that gives up the most assists in the league. Paris competed well against Fenerbahce last week before running out of gas in the fourth quarter, and will need the tireless energy of Jared Rhoden—averaging 16.3 points over the last four games—to rub off on the rest of the team to pull off the upset at Palau Blaugrana. Will Clyburn led Barcelona in their comfortable road win in Paris earlier in the season with 19 points and 12 rebounds, and his presence poses a tough challenge for veteran Amath M'Baye.
Valencia Basket vs. LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (20:30 CET)
Valencia (17-10) will look to protect their top-four spot against visiting ASVEL (7-20), sitting in the lower part of the standings. The hosts hope for more magic from Jean Montero after his 29 points and 8 assists in the overtime victory at Hapoel, while former ASVEL player Neal Sako—averaging 7.7 rebounds over the last three games—will play an important role in the paint. ASVEL has won just one of their last eight games, though they've been competitive in recent weeks, and will look to do damage from three-point range with Zac Seljaas after his 14 points in the narrow loss to Milan. The league's highest-scoring team faces the lowest-scoring team (90.7 vs. 78.6 points per game), so ASVEL will need a very solid defensive performance to give chances to a hot Braian Angola, averaging 18.5 points per game.

Zalgiris Kaunas vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (19:00 CET)
In a direct matchup between top-10 rivals, Hapoel (16-10) will try to end a four-game losing streak in their demanding visit to Zalgiris (15-12). The visiting team takes comfort in the return to form of Antonio Blakeney, who scored 23 points in the overtime loss to Valencia, but needs to better protect the glass after allowing 16 offensive rebounds in that game. Zalgiris also looks to bounce back from their loss at Efes, where the consistency of Azuolas Tubelis (12.0 points and 4.9 rebounds per night) wasn't enough. Hapoel needs Vasilije Micic to regain his shooting touch after missing all eight three-point attempts last week, though it won't be easy against the experience of home point guard Nigel Williams-Goss, who returned in form and scored 17 points in the 80-93 victory in Tel Aviv in December.
AS Monaco vs. Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (19:30 CET)
In free fall, Monaco (15-12) will try to stop their worrying slide by hosting Baskonia (9-17), who struggle on the road. The team coached by Vassilis Spanoulis has lost five straight games, largely due to a porous defense that has allowed at least 90 points in four of those losses. Mike James has maintained his usual level despite the bad run, posting at least 14 points and 4 assists in seven straight games. He'll face an increasingly confident Kobi Simmons, who has posted seven consecutive double-digit scoring performances. Gytas Radzevicius stood out with 12 points and 5 rebounds when Baskonia clearly beat Monaco in December, and his all-around game will be key against the energy of Alpha Diallo.
Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (20:15 CET)
The 2024 champions host the defending champions in a crucial playoff race matchup, with Panathinaikos (16-11) facing Fenerbahce (19-7). The Turkish side looks solid atop the standings after winning 10 of their last 11 games, while the Greens have been very inconsistent during the injury absence of their leading scorer, Kendrick Nunn. The 62 points scored last week against Partizan marked Panathinaikos's season low, with only TJ Shorts surpassing 7 points and the team making just four three-pointers. Improving those numbers against the league's best defense, led by the experience of Nicolo Melli, will be a difficult task. Kostas Sloukas will play a key role against his former team, in a high-level point guard duel against the always-consistent Wade Baldwin.
EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Dubai Basketball (20:30 CET)
Two playoff contenders sitting just outside the top-10 face off with Milan (14-13) hosting Dubai (13-14). The visitors boosted their confidence with excellent home wins over Olympiacos and Real last week, though they need to improve on the road after winning just three games away from home. The return of Dzanan Musa, who scored 20 points in his last game, has been an important boost, and the home defense will also need to contain Dwayne Bacon, who's averaging 17.0 points over the last four games. Milan arrives equally hot with three straight wins, with Marko Guduric running the offense with an average of 6.7 assists during that stretch. The hosts need to win by 8 or more points to secure the head-to-head tiebreaker, after Dubai won 99-92 in December.
Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. Real Madrid (20:30 CET)
Real Madrid (16-11) will look to end a three-game road losing streak in a demanding visit to Partizan (9-18), who are clearly improving. The Serbian side has won three of their last five games and found their defensive identity in the convincing victory over Panathinaikos, where the power of Isaac Bonga, with 16 points and 6 rebounds, was decisive. Duane Washington could return from injury to add more problems to a Madrid defense that has allowed an average of 91 points during their bad run. Real has won eight straight games against Partizan since the 2023 playoffs and won 93-86 in October with 19 points and 8 rebounds from Edy Tavares, from whom they'll again need a dominant performance to secure a crucial road win.
