With just seven games remaining in the 2023-24 EuroLeague regular season, BasketNews provides insightful data, precisely the Strength of Schedule index (SOS), offering a glimpse into the schedule difficulties for each of the 18 teams.

The SOS indicator considers various factors, including the opponents' win-loss records, previous head-to-head match outcomes in the first half of the season, and team performance at home and away. A lower SOS number indicates an easier remaining schedule for the final seven rounds.

Currently holding the fourth position in the standings, Monaco boasts the most favorable schedule with a low SOS of 3.654.

Their upcoming opponents are predominantly outside the Top 10, featuring matches against Crvena Zvezda (16th position, at home), ALBA (18th, away), Olimpia Milano (13th, home), Valencia (10th, home), ASVEL (17th, away), Zalgiris (14th, home), and Bayern (12th, home).

Maccabi, positioned ninth, come in second with a relatively lenient schedule. They are set to face Zalgiris (14th, home), Crvena Zvezda (16th, away), ASVEL (17th, home), Bayern (12th, away), Valencia (10th, home), Barcelona (2nd, away), and Milan (13th, home).

Anadolu Efes secure the third-easiest schedule, squaring off against Bayern (12th, home), ASVEL (17th, away), Olympiacos (6th, home), ALBA (18th, away), Baskonia (8th, away), Fenerbahce (7th, away), and Crvena Zvezda (16th, home).

On the flip side, Crvena Zvezda face the most challenging schedule, taking on all Top 6 teams except Barcelona. Their matchups include Monaco (4th, away), Maccabi (9th, home), Panathinaikos (3rd, home), Virtus (5th, home), Real (1st, away), Olympiacos (6th, home), and Anadolu Efes (15th, away).

Milan, in the playoff chase, also contends with a tough lineup: Partizan (11th, home), Baskonia (8th, away), Monaco (4th, away), Fenerbahce (7th, home), Zalgiris (14th, away), Virtus (5th, home), and Maccabi (9th, away).
