When Olympiacos Piraeus and AS Monaco face off in the semifinals of the 2023 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four, a traditional powerhouse will come up against a side hoping to make a big impression on its first appearance in European basketball's showpiece event. These two teams also faced off in a memorable five-game playoff series last season, which Olympiacos won 3-2. Monaco retooled last summer, but the Reds built on an impressive campaign by having the best record in the regular season. There's little to separate Olympiacos and Monaco, which makes this semifinal so hard to call.
