Euroleague live stream and betting: Last week for playoff places loom

The Euroleague playoffs are just around the corner and this week in is the final round of the regular season.

And that means it’s the last chance of a host of teams to secure their place in the playoffs!

The top eight of the 16-team league progress to the Euroleague playoffs — but those eight clubs have not been settled yet!

Three teams — Maccabi, Milan and Olympiakos — will hope to scrape into the playoffs on the final day of the regular season.

And you can watch basketball online and bet in-play on every match right here with Unibet.

Here are the big games you should keep an eye on…

Euroleague live stream and betting — the battle for the playoffs

Anadolu v Milan – Thursday, April 4 at 18:30 BST

The first match of the week affecting the playoff sports comes from Turkey, where Milan need a win to stand any chance of making the top eight.

Milan sit ninth heading into this weekend and have lost their last three Euroleague games. A dismal run has seen them move out of the top eight and they’re not guaranteed a return!

Now, Milan have beaten Anadolu in each of their last two meetings. But both of those were in Italy and their most recent clash ended 81-80 to the hosts. Anadolu are on fire right now with four away wins on the bounce. They really should beat Milan here and are 1.70 to do so.

Madrid v Zalgiris – Thursday, April 4 at 20:00 BST

This is the match everyone will be keeping an eye on, and the one betting fans should watch on the basketball live stream. Zalgiris sit eighth in Euroleague and a win will secure them a playoff spot, condemning the other hopefuls to obscurity. But can Zalgiris beat Madrid?

Back in November Madrid – who have already qualified for the playoffs – beat Zalgiris 90-79 away from home. That was a stunning result and proved Madrid’s credentials as a viable title winner this season.

Zalgiris have recovered and they are arguably the form-team of Euroleague right now. Nine straight wins across Euroleague and Lithuania’s top flight has put the Kaunas-based side into the top eight.

Zalgiris are 2.55 to win this match and that is an excellent price.

Fenerbahce v Maccabi – Friday, April 5 at 18:45 BST

Sorry Maccabi fans but this is where your Euroleague season almost certainly ends. Maccabi need a win on Friday and must hope other results go their way. But they are 1.24 to lose to Fenerbahce — and it’s not hard to see why.

Fenerbahce have dominated Euroleague this season and sit top of the table heading into the playoffs. Yes, they have suffered a few defeats lately but that is largely down to resting players so they can compete for domestic honours too.

Fenerbahce may again rest players here, knowing they finish top of Fenerbahce whether they win or lose. But winning breeds confidence and Fener are on a three-game streak. Another victory is almost guaranteed.

Olympiakos v Darussafaka – Friday, April 5 at 19:30 BST

Like Maccabi, Olympiakos must rely on other results going their way if they are to make it into the playoffs. By the time they tip off against Darussafaka they will know if they stand any chance.

But basketball betting fans should still back Olympiakos for the win here while watching the Euroleague live stream. After all, they face a Darussafaka side that is rock bottom of the division, having won just five games all season.

Yes, Darussafaka have won two of their last three — but those results came against sides who were condemned not to finish in the Euroleague top eight. Olympiakos could well be in that same position come 20:30 CEST but they are still a good bet at 1.91 to win with a -15 handicap.
