After the first day of EuroLeague in the third week of the playoffs, the top European competition returns with two more Game 5s.

Player of the Game EFF 26 Sergio Rodriguez Points 19 Accuracy 8-11 Rebounds 3 Assists 6

First, AS Monaco welcome Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. Both teams have shared one win each in the first two weeks. The series was marked by Maccabi fans overtaking the Monaco venue and then disrupting their opponents' bus in Tel Aviv.

After the first four games, security was increased in Monaco, and much smaller amount of Maccabi fans will be allowed into the arena.

Next, Real Madrid host Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in WiZink Center. The series seemingly had it all so far. There was a fight, several players were suspended. There was a game-winner, there was a phenomenal performance by Edy Tavares.

Both teams are bound to make history. If Real win, they will become the first team to win the series after being down 0-2. If Partizan win, they will become the first team to win Game 5 away from home.

All EuroLeague matches are broadcasted onEuroLeague TV.
