With one round remaining in the EuroLeague, six teams have already clinched a playoff spot.

With Real Madrid comfortably sitting in first place with a home-court advantage, Olympiacos Piraeus, AS Monaco, FC Barcelona, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, and Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens joined the playoff club after the games on Thursday.

Olympiacos narrowly defeated Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade after Moses Wright hit a clutch three-pointer. Monaco escaped Zalgiris Kaunas' comeback attempts at the last minute, while Nicolas Laprovittola's three-pointer gave the victory for Barca over Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv.

It was Monaco's and Barca's 22nd and Olympiacos' 21st win. After Thursday's games, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv can no longer overtake either of them due to a lack of remaining games or disadvantageous head-to-head results.

With the loss, Maccabi will finish the season in 7th place regardless of the results of the remaining games in the tournament. Maccabi's loss also gave the path for Fenerbahce and Panathinaikos to finish the season in the Top Six.

Monaco's participation in the playoffs means the club will remain in the EuroLeague next year as the winners of EuroCup.
