You can use stats for a number of things, and this time a bold leap was taken by Eurohoops. Here’s a prediction of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season’s final standings using a mathematical simulation.

With almost two-thirds of the regular season on the books, there’s a pretty clear image about every team’s abilities and goals.

The playoffs race includes a record number of 13 teams with chances, however, the general consensus at this point is that two spots are still up for grabs — the seventh and eighth positions.

Can all those assumptions be measured and produce a result that can be backed up by numbers?

That was our question to the good people at Statathlon, and this is the result of their simulation. Statathlon provided not only a measure of the degree of difficulty of each team’s remaining schedule but also a prediction for the final standings of the regular season.

And if you are fans of KIROLBET Baskonia and FC Bayern Munich, you should hope that this simulation will be proved correct.
