Sergio Scariolo’s men are on a four-game winning streak, while the host has won two of the last three under new head coach Peppe Poeta. The visiting team will need strong perimeter defense to contain the threat of Armoni Brooks, who has knocked down an average of 4.2 triples in the last six games. Real also has a sharpshooter in fine form with Mario Hezonja averaging 19.3 points in the last three games. In the backcourt, Milan will hope that Leandro Bolmaro overcomes injury to confront Facu Campazzo, who has bounced back from a slow start to the season to average 14 points and 4.8 assists in his team’s winning streak.

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan v Real Madrid (2025-12-16T19:30:00.000Z)

The Spanish team made it four straight wins by comfortably downing Efes last week, and has a sharpshooter in fine form with Kam Taylor netting 18 and 20 points in the last two games. Olympiacos needs to bounce back after losing three of the last four games, and could be reinforced by a debut for recent signing Monte Morris. The Reds can rely on a dynamic one-two punch in the paint with league-leading rebounder Nikola Milutinov backed up by Donta Hall, who gave one of his best performances with 11 points and 8 boards in last week’s loss at Barcelona. Valencia’s inside presence is led by Jaime Pradilla, who netted 14 points to help overcome Efes last week.

\- The road team has won seven straight and 12 of the 16 games between Olympiacos and Valencia this century.

Game Notes: Olympiacos vs. Valencia

Olympiacos Piraeus v Valencia Basket (2025-12-16T19:15:00.000Z)

It's the home team's first ever EuroLeague game in its own country, and arrives with Hapoel sitting top of the standings after the outstanding Elijah Bryant inspired a comeback win at Virtus last week. Zvezda, which hopes to recover Chima Moneke after he missed last week’s Serbian Derby, is seeking a reaction after losing two in a row and needs to reignite an offense that only scored 79 and 76 points in those defeats. An all-star backcourt matchup between Vasilije Micic and Codi Miller-McIntyre will be crucial, while Hapoel center Dan Oturu will look to follow up last week's double-double (21 points, 10 rebounds) by dominating the paint against Zvezda starter Donatas Motiejunas.

\- This is Hapoel's first-ever EuroLeague game on home soil.

\- Hapoel guard Vasilije Micic spent part of the 2015-16 season playing for Zvezda, helping the team reach the 2016 EuroLeague Playoffs.

\- Micic scored 26 points and earned MVP of the Round honors with a PIR 29 playing for Anadolu Efes Istanbul against Crvena Zvezda in October 2019.

\- Micic has been a teammate of Zvezda's Ognjen Dobric, Dejan Davidovac and Uros Plavsic on the Serbian national team. Together, they won bronze medals at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

\- Micic has been a teammate of Zvezda's Nikola Kalinic on the Serbian national team, too.

\- Zvezda's Jordan Nwora was a teammate of the Hapoel duo of Elijah Bryant and Dan Oturu at Anadolu Efes Istanbul last season. Bryant and Nwora were also teammates at the Milwaukee Bucks at the very end of the 2020-21 season. They played in one game together and both were crowned the 2021 NBA champions.

\- Elijah Bryant scored a career-high 26 points playing for Efes against Crvena Zvezda in the finale of the 2023-24 regular season.

\- Hapoel's Chris Jones and Zvezda's Jasiel Rivero were teammates at Valencia Basket in the 2022-23 season.

\- Hapoel center Bruno Caboclo and Zvezda's Yago Dos Santos were teammates at ratiopharm Ulm during the 2022-23 season. They won the German League championship together. They have also been teammates on the Brazilian national team and won gold medals at the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup.

\- Hapoel's Johnathan Motley earned co-MVP of the Round honors with a PIR of 33, collecting 25 points and 10 rebounds, playing for Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul against Zvezda in November 2022.

\- Motley scored a career-high 27 points playing for Fenerbahce against Zvezda in April 2023.

Two of this season's surprise early pacesetters are targeting another victory as Hapoel (11-4) faces Zvezda (9-6) in Jerusalem. 

Game Notes: Hapoel vs. Zvezda

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv v Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (2025-12-16T19:05:00.000Z)

The host has won six straight after grinding out a comeback triumph at Monaco last week, while the Greens again showed their occasional vulnerability with a heavy defeat at Milan. Fener will call upon Devon Hall to continue to lead its league-best defense (79.1 points per game allowed) and slow down the playmaking skills of former hero Kostas Sloukas, who is delivering one of his best ever seasons with averages of 10.7 points and 5.7 assists. On the perimeter, the defensive tenacity of Nicolo Melli will be key in repelling the three-point scoring threat of Juancho Hernangomez, who is looking to recover his top form after making 2-of-4 at Milan last week.

\- Fenerbahce and Panathinaikos are the last two EuroLeague champions, and have played each other in the semifinals of the last two Final Fours. Last season, Fenerbahce beat Panathinaikos 82-76 behind 18 points from Devon Hall on the way to winning the 2025 title.

\- In the 2024 Final Four semifinals, Panathinaikos beat Fenerbahce 73-57 behind 17 points and 10 rebounds from Mathias Lessort.

\- Panathinaikos swept Fenerbahce in the 2024-25 regular season. The Greens pulled out a 76-81 win in Istanbul, and edged Fenerbahce 91-90  in Athens behind 23 points from Kostas Sloukas.

\- Fenerbahce became the first - and to date only - team to sweep a best-of-five EuroLeague Playoff series without having the home-court advantage when it ousted the Greens in 2017.

\- Panathinaikos guard Kostas Sloukas spent five seasons with Fenerbahce, from 2015 to 2020. He helped the club win the 2017 EuroLeague, reach four Final Fours and win three Turkish League championships in his time there.

\- In the 2023 EuroLeague Playoffs, while playing for Olympiacos Piraeus against Fenerbahce, Sloukas made a game-winning triple in Game 3 and then earned MVP honors in Game 5 when he scored 22 points with 6 assists, accumulating a PIR of 27.

\- Fenerbahce head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius played four seasons for Panathinaikos from 2007 through 2010 and again in 2011-12. In that time, he helped the Greens win the 2009 EuroLeague championship, three Greek League crowns and three Greek Cups.

\- Panathinaikos guard Marius Grigonis played under Coach Jasikevicius at Zalgiris Kaunas for two seasons, from 2018 to 2020.

\- Panathinaikos center Omer Yurtseven played in the Fenerbahce youth categories and made his professional debut there before leaving in 2016.

\- Fenerbahce’s Onuralp Bitim was a teammate with Cedi Osman and Omer Yurtseven of Panathinaikos, and all played under Panathinaikos head coach Ergin Ataman on the Turkish national team, winning silver medals at EuroBasket 2025.

\- Bitim and Osman were also teammates at Anadolu Efes Istanbul in the 2016-17 season.

\- Fenerbahce's Melih Mahmutoglu, Metecan Biersen and Scottie Wilbekin have been teammates of Cedi Osman on the Turkish national team.

\- Mahmutoglu has also been a teammate on the Turkish national team with Omer Yurtseven. They played under the current Panathinaikos head coach, Ergin Ataman.

\- Panathinaikos guard TJ Shorts and Fenerbahce's Mikael Jantunen were teammates at Paris Basketball the last two seasons.

\- Panathinaikos guard TJ Shorts tied his career-high with 29 points and made a career-best 12 two-pointers playing for Paris Basketball in Game 3 of the 2025 EuroLeague Playoffs against Fenerbahce.

\- Fenerbahce guard Wade Baldwin earned MVP of the Round honors last season while leading Maccabi to a 90-75 win over Panathinaikos in Round 23. He had 22 points and 8 assists for a PIR of 33.

\- Bonzie Colson had a career game with a PIR of 41, collecting 29 points, 14 rebounds and making 5 three-pointers, all career highs, playing for Maccabi in a road loss against Panathinaikos in January 2023.

\- Fenerbahce guard Scottie Wilbekin was a teammate of Panathinaikos center Mathias Lessort for the start of the 2021-22 season at Maccabi.

\- Wilbekin grabbed a career-high 7 rebounds playing for Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv against Panathinaikos in October 2021.

\- Last season in Athens, Fenerbahce guard Devon Hall tied his career high with 7 rebounds in a loss against Panathinaikos.

\- Fenerbahce center Khem Birch tied his career high with 3 blocks in that same road loss against Panathinaikos last February.

\- Panathinaikos guard Kendrick Nunn made a career-high 10 two-point shots when Panathinaikos beat Fenerbahce 74-63 in Athens in February 2024.

\- Panathinaikos guard Marius Grigonis dished a career-high 8 assists playing for Zalgiris Kaunas against Fenerbahce in March 2021.

\- Panathinaikos point guard Kostas Sloukas had a career-best 4 steals playing for Olympiacos Piraeus in a road loss against Fenerbahce in January 2022.

A showdown between the last two champions promises plenty of excitement as Fenerbahce (9-5) welcomes Panathinaikos (9-6).

The Israeli team has finally found consistency by taking two consecutive triumphs for the first time this season, and will hope that in-form Roman Sorkin can stay strong against home team dangerman Filip Petrusev. Visiting shooting star Lonnie Walker is in great form after averaging 24.3 points in the last three games, but Dubai will be full of confidence after winning four straight games at home. The most recent of those, over Bayern last week, was helped along by 15 points and 7 rebounds from Awudu Abass, and his physicality will be important against a Maccabi team that ranks third in the league in offensive rebounding (13 per game).

\- This is the first-ever official game between these two clubs.

\- Maccabi's Jaylen Hoard and Dubai's Mam Jaiteh have been teammates on the French national team.

\- Nemanja Dangubic posted his career high in rebounds with 7 playing for Crvena Zvezda Belgrade against Maccabi in January 2018.

Maccabi (5-10) is aiming for a third straight win as it travels for a first-ever meeting with Dubai (7-8).

‘Bouncing For Good’, the community initiative created by Euroleague Basketball’s One Team program in partnership with Motorola, made its latest stop in London this week as the project continues its multi-city journey across Europe. The event was co-organized with the London Lions, bringing basketball, creativity and inspiration to the students of King Solomon Academy.

London hosts the latest ‘Bouncing For Good’ stop

‘Bouncing For Good’, the community initiative created by Euroleague Basketball’s One Team program in partnership with Motorola, made its latest stop in London this week as the project continues its multi-city journey across Europe. The event was co-organized with the [London Lions](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/london-lions/lli/), bringing basketball, creativity and inspiration to the students of King Solomon Academy.

After successful activations in Belgrade and Valencia earlier this season, *Bouncing For Good* continued to build momentum in London, engaging young people through an interactive workshop designed to promote teamwork, confidence, and positive life habits. One Team coaches, London Lions staff and volunteers guided students through a blend of basketball drills, team-building exercises and creative challenges that encouraged both physical activity and personal growth.

King Solomon Academy — located in central London and known for its culturally diverse community and commitment to equity — welcomed the program as part of its ongoing efforts to support students from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. With 66% of its pupils receiving free school meals, the school places strong emphasis on providing opportunities that enrich students’ educational and social experiences.

During the afternoon, *Bouncing For Good* culminated in a special basketball donation, where London Lions players [Amin Adamu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/amin-adamu/014096/), [Mo Soluade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/mo-soluade/004479/) and Jada Lewis from the London Lions Women’s team presented new basketballs to the school and participate in fun on-court activities with the students. The players shared insights from their own journeys in sport, helping inspire the next generation to stay active, ambitious and engaged.

Amin Adamu, also the One Team ambassador of the London Lions program, expressed his enthusiasm for being part of the initiative: “Growing up, basketball played a huge role in helping me build confidence and stay focused, so being here and sharing that with young people means a lot to me. If programs like this can give kids a positive space to learn, express themselves and feel supported, then it’s already making a real difference and I’m very happy to be able to take part of it”.

The partnership between Euroleague Basketball’s One Team, Motorola and local clubs such as the London Lions underscores a shared commitment to using sport as a tool for social good. With more European cities scheduled for upcoming visits, *Bouncing For Good* will continue delivering meaningful community engagement throughout the season.

Frankie Sachs has some ideas to help your EuroCup Fantasy Challenge teams this week

Fantasy tips, Round 11: The Big Man Bazaar

At times it seems like the BKT EuroCup is a competition where guards shine. The EuroCup MVP has been a point guard in each of the last three seasons (Jared Harper, T.J. Shorts, Jerian Grant) and joined a long list of star guards to claim that award, too. But no great team in the EuroCup Fantasy Challenge can be built without star power at other positions, too. This week I will share with you some big men who I believe everyone should give some consideration for their teams, too.

 

### Ante Zizic, Besiktas (14.3 credits)

I am a little late to the [Ante Zizic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/ante-zizic/004554/) party, but wanted to shine a light on him in case you have overlooked him as well. Zizic has averaged more fantasy points than any other center (22.63) and he’s done it with a mix of offensive efficiency and great rebounding. Over the last two weeks, he's averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds while missing just 4 field goals combined for an average PIR of 30.5. Against London in Round 2, he posted 17 points and 5 boards for a PIR of 26. If you can afford Zizic, I recommend him.

Ante Zizic

### Zacharie Perrin, Hamburg (11.0 credits)

For a more modest option at center, there is [Zacharie Perrin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/zacharie-perrin/011579/). He was recommended here earlier in the seasons, but back then it was as an inexpensive talent with upside. The 21-year-old has become much more than that – and his price has risen accordingly. Over his last four games, Perrin has posted 17.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game for an average PIR of 20.8. He grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds in Round 2 against Aris, his opponent this week.

 

### Andrej Jakimovski, Trento (9.9 credits)

Another player I wished I had on my team a few weeks ago already is [Andrej Jakimovski](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/andrej-jakimovski/009429/). Even though I didn’t get him when he was 7.1 credits, that’s no reason not to take him now. The Trento forward has scored 30 points twice in his last three appearances and was, of course, the MVP of Round 10. While I don’t expect that every week, the 24-year-old is grabbing more rebounds and drawing more fouls, all of which make him an interesting target, even against the Buducnost frontline this week.

 

### Amadou Sow, Chemnitz (8.8 credits)

Another player whose production has been spiking lately is [Amadou Sow](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/amadou-sow/012598/). His numbers have gotten better in four successive rounds with averaged of 17.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in the last two games, with a PIR of at least 20 in both. He also comes off a 16-point, 13-rebound double-double in the German League. If you want to cut corners and save at center, but still get a stud capable of big numbers, Sow could be your man.

The visiting team allowed a 17-point advantage to slip against Fenerbahce last week, leading to withering criticism from Coach Vassilis Spanoulis, and big man Daniel Theis is among those hoping to find better form after netting just 4 points in that loss. The Spanish team has won five straight at Buesa Arena and will hope that Markus Howard can stay hot after netting a season-high 22 points in last week’s loss at Madrid. Baskonia leads the league with 61.6% of two-pointers converted, but Monaco is close behind (57.1%, fourth in the league), so whichever team finds the most effective defense inside the paint could be the winner.

Game Facts: Baskonia vs. Monaco

Improved form by Isaac Bonga is one of the reasons for Partizan’s upturn, and his physical presence will be required to limit the influence of Virtus’s red-hot center Mouhamet Diouf, who's averaged 9.7 rebounds in the last three games. The Italian team is 1-7 on the road and needs to find more scoring alternatives to Carsen Edwards, who will be desperate to bounce back after scoring just 2 points in last week’s home loss to Hapoel. He faces a thrilling backcourt confrontation with Duane Washington, who poured in 22 and 25 points in the last two games.

Bayern is also on a bad run after losing six in a row, but Andreas Obst’s return to form with 21 points in last week’s narrow loss at Dubai will be a source of optimism.

Zalgiris can certainly expose any weakness in that department through the presence of Azuolas Tubelis, who has averaged 8.7 rebounds in the last three games.
