The penultimate double-round week of the season is poised to have a significant impact on the playoff race. Meanwhile, Tuesday marked the start of the EuroLeague Round 24.

Kicking off the action, Bayern came an inch closer to the Top 10 after beating Baskonia in an overtime thriller. Markus Howard dropped 27 points, but that was not enough.

Next, ASVEL, powered by an impressive victory over Bayern last week, could not maintain their positive momentum against playoff-chasing Fenerbahce. The latter team won the third quarter by 14 points and cruised to victory.

Later on, Nemanja Nedovic was on fire with 27 points to lead Zvezda past Valencia, which had eyed a third consecutive triumph.

Moving on, Olympiacos fortified its playoff position against ALBA. Isaiah Canaan went off for a career night, finishing with 31 points and 30 PIR, including nine successful shots from deep.

Finally, league-leader Real edged closer to securing home-court advantage in the playoffs by defeating Maccabi in a close game. Wade Baldwin and Bonzie Colson combined for 53 points for Maccabi, but that came in vain.
