League-leading Real Madrid (26-7) was the first team to secure the pole position in the standings and clinch the home-court advantage.

FC Barcelona (22-11) also booked their spot in the top four, thanks to Anadolu Efes' victory over Fenerbahce on Friday night. The Catalans hold the tiebreaker over Olympiacos (21-12), and Fenerbahce (20-13) is out of contention to catch up.

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (22-11) and AS Monaco (22-11) are theoretically still in the running. If they defeat ALBA and Bayern in the last round, respectively, they will secure the second and third positions, pushing Barcelona to fourth.

The only other contender for a top-four finish is Olympiacos Piraeus (21-12). However, their chance relies on Panathinaikos losing to ALBA. If Panathinaikos win, a tie with Olympiacos becomes impossible.

Olympiacos hold the direct tiebreaker with two regular-season wins against Panathinaikos but not against Monaco or Barca.

Monaco could finish outside of the top four only if they, along with Panathinaikos and Fenerbahce, lose in the last round, while Olympiacos and Barcelona secure victories.
