The final matchday of the Euroleague regular season begins today Thursday April 17, round 38, with some teams battling for the last play-off options and continue their season in Europe.
In the Euroleague, the best six teams qualify for play-offs, and teams ranked 7-10 qualify for play-ins. The top 5 spots have secured the play-offs (Olympiacos, Valencia, Real Madrid, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Fenerbhaçe), and Zalgiris, Panathinaikos, and Crvena Zvezda are fighting for the final play-off spot, with Zalgiris having the best deal: if they win against Paris, they will secure the sixth spot. Panathinaikos would only finish sixth if they win Anadolu Efes and Zalgiris and Monaco both lose.
Meanwhile, Barcelona and Dubai will fight for the last position of the play-ins (10th seed), with Barcelona having the edge: only a defeat against Bayern and a victory of Dubai over Valencia would eliminate them. Dubai would only finised tenth if they win and Barcelona loses.
