Fifteen matches have been played so far in the 2019 EuroLeague Playoffs. The sixteenth and last one will be between Anadolu Efes and FC Barcelona Lassa on Wednesday. The winner will complete the Final Four field alongside Fenerbahce Beko, CSKA Moscow and Real Madrid.
Efes’ Shane Larkin is already the player with the most points in the postseason of Europe’s premier competition. The 26-year-old point guard will end up first in total points scored provided no other player produces a massive Game 5 offensive showing and likely in points per game as well if he drops at least ten on Wednesday.
Larkin was in the EuroLeague Playoffs once before in 2017 with his Baskonia being the victim of a sweep from CSKA Moscow. He poured 38 points in those three contests averaging 12.7 per match, but raised his game to a whole other level this time around with 30 points in the first two matches, 30 in Game 3 and 20 in Game 4.
