We are approaching the midway point of the Euroleague basketball season, which makes this an ideal moment to assess the landscape of the title race. With a handful of games on today’s slate before Week 17 tips off, it is worth remembering that each team plays 38 regular-season games — meaning there is still significant basketball left to be played. Below, we break down the current Euroleague championship odds and highlight a few key matchups worth watching and wagering on.
Current Euroleague Standings and Championship Odds
The top of the Euroleague standings remains extremely tight. Hapoel Tel Aviv currently sits in first place after a 12–4 start through 16 games. Close behind are Valencia and Barcelona, both with 11 wins and firmly within striking distance of the leaders. Panathinaikos follows with 10 wins, while Monaco and Zalgiris Kaunas round out the current top six.
Only the top six teams earn automatic playoff spots, and with so much parity across the league, no club has locked up a position just yet. Below are the current odds to win the Euroleague championship:
- Panathinaikos +290
- Olympiakos +320
- Hapoel Tel Aviv +900
- Monaco +920
These numbers will continue to shift as results come in, so tracking Euroleague line movement after each round remains essential for futures bettors.
Games to Watch and Wager on in Week 17
Let’s take a closer look at several key matchups from the Thursday and Friday schedule that carry both betting value and playoff implications.
Panathinaikos vs Hapoel Tel Aviv
This is clearly the marquee matchup of the week, with two top-four teams going head-to-head. Hapoel Tel Aviv will be looking to defend their spot at the top of the standings, while Panathinaikos could use a statement win to kickstart a stronger second half of the season. Despite Panathinaikos’ pedigree, Hapoel’s form gives them a slight edge here, making the visitors the lean.
Armani Milan vs Fenerbahce
Both of these teams sit just outside the top six and are battling to climb into playoff position. Each comes in playing solid basketball, posting 7–3 records over their last 10 games. The key difference, however, is Fenerbahce’s struggles away from home. With that in mind, Milan looks well positioned to grind out a narrow victory on their own floor.
Zalgiris Kaunas vs Partizan Belgrade
Zalgiris currently occupies the sixth spot and will be eager to protect its place inside the automatic playoff zone. A home matchup against Partizan Belgrade presents a favorable opportunity, as the visitors have managed just three wins in their last 10 games and only one road victory all season. This shapes up as a straightforward spot to back Zalgiris.
Crvena Zvezda vs Virtus Bologna
While not the most glamorous matchup on the Round 17 schedule, this game carries meaningful playoff implications. Crvena Zvezda sits in the play-in range but could move closer to the top six with a strong result. Virtus Bologna, meanwhile, is down in 12th place and struggling for consistency. Expect Crvena Zvezda to capitalize with an important home win.
