Real Madrid - Red Star Belgrade (10:30 p.m.)
The pair of Sergios, Rodrigues and Yuvi are not expected to take part in the match between the European champions and the team of Yanis Spropoulos. The Serbs did surprise Virtus Bologna when they beat them in the last round and broke a streak of six losses in the Euroleague, but on the other hand they lost the chance to advance to the playoffs and in Madrid they are not expected to challenge Real. The Blancos, who are on six consecutive victories in all competitions, including three in the Euroleague, will build, among other things, on a double-digit contribution from Mario Zonia for the ninth time in ten games, after the reports that the Croatian is determined to leave and return to Panathinaikos in the summer.

Virtus Bologna - Panathinaikos (22:30)
The good news for Luca Banki's team is that Daniel Hackett will return to the squad after missing three Euroleague rounds due to injury, while Isiah Cordiner is expected to remain absent due to a sprained ankle. The less good news for Bologna, who have lost seven of the last nine games and even the eighth place they are currently in is not guaranteed, is that Panathinaikos will arrive in Italy after five wins in six games that catapulted them to second place. The Greens will know the results of Barcelona and Monaco even before their game, when assuming that the Catalans and Monegasques do not lose, Pau will have to win in order not to lose height in the table.
