The three remaining tickets to the Final Four will be sealed on Tuesday and Wednesday as Fenerbahce, Partizan and Maccabi aim to make history by becoming the first teams to win on the road in Game 5 of the playoffs. But Olympiacos, Real Madrid and Monaco have very different ideas as they look to make the most of home-court advantage in what is just the second edition of the playoffs ever to feature three Game 5s. Here's your guide to the action as the playoffs reach a thrilling climax.
Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul
At the conclusion of a series of momentum swings that hasn't seen either team win two games in a row, top seed Olympiacos will look to make home-court advantage count on Tuesday against a Fenerbahce team that has excelled on defense by holding the usually offensively prolific Reds to less than 80 points in every game so far. Dyshawn Pierre's 4-for-6 long-range shooting made the difference as Fenerbahce edged Game 4, with Dimitris Itoudis's team also doing a great job in limiting the league's leading scorer and MVP candidate Sasha Vezenkov to just 2 points. Olympiacos was also held to 11 assists in that game, below its league-leading and EuroLeague-record threatening 21.1 per game. The outcome of this thrilling series probably depends on whether Fenerbahce can mount such strong defensive resistance again.
