The team coached by Giorgos Bartzokas sits seventh and half a game away from the top six seeds, which guarantee a spot in the Playoffs 2026, while the team coached by Joan Penarroya is dealing with a six-game distance from the Play-In Showdown zone.
Midway through the latest double-game week, Olympiacos visits Anadolu Efes in Istanbul’s Turkcell Development Center on Thursday after a home win over Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv on Tuesday, and Partizan takes on leader Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv in Munich’s BMW Park on Friday after snapping a seven-game losing streak at the expense of FC Bayern Munich in SAP Garden on Tuesday.
