In the final stretch of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season, Eurohoops presents the last edition of the Power Rankings.
All 15 teams have been rated by Eurohoops based on status, dynamics, form and the significance of their results.
#15 ZALGIRIS KAUNAS
Record: 7-19
Home: 5-8
Away: 2-11
Offense-Defense: 73.8-79.9
Ready to wrap up the season on a high note and managing to take down leading FC Barcelona, three losses in a row at home reduced Zalgiris to the bottom of the standings. Two unmeaningful games left on the schedule.
Remaining games: at Bitci Baskonia 1/4 | vs. Crvena Zvezda mts 3/4
#14 LDLC ASVEL VILLEURBANNE
Record: 8-18
Home: 4-9
Away: 4-9
Offense-Defense: 72.4-79.4
It has been a while since ASVEL was forced to rework its season goals. A winless stretch lasted two months until defeating Zalgiris (72-69). The recent loss to Olympiacos was the 11th in 13 contests in 2022.
Remaining games: at Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv 31/3 | vs. AX Armani Exchange Milan 7/4
#13 PANATHINAIKOS OPAP ATHENS
Record: 7-17
Home: 6-6
Away: 1-11
Offense-Defense: 74.1-79.5
Six-time EuroLeague champion Panathinaikos OPAP will be held to the bottom side of the table for the second consecutive season. Upcoming showings can only affect other teams in the playoff hunt. Team captain Ioannis Papapetrou will be available after being sidelined for the last two months.
Remaining games: vs. Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv 29/3 | vs. Real Madrid 31/3 | at ALBA Berlin 6/4 | at Fenerbahce Beko 8/4
#12 FENERBAHCE BEKO ISTANBUL
Record: 9-15
Home: 8-2
Away: 1-13
Offense-Defense: 74.1-75.4
Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul managing to salvage a playoff berth would rank among the most incredible comebacks. Snapping the five-game losing streak and from there standing firm on the win column is a necessity looking unlikely at this point.
Remaining games: vs. ALBA Berlin 29/3 | vs. FC Bayern Munich 4/4 | vs. Panathinaikos OPAP 8/4 | at Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv 13/4
