Six teams -- Maccabi, Partizan, Fenerbahce, Baskonia, Zagiris, and Efes -- are still fighting for the last four playoff spots. According to Basket Data Scouting, 14 decisive games are left and 16384 combinations to define the final positions in the standings.

According to the gathered data, Olympiacos (currently rank 1st) have the highest probability of 37.26% to meet Baskonia (8th) in the postseason, who have the head-to-head advantage over Zalgiris (9th) despite sharing the same 17-15 record.

Barcelona (2nd) is most likely to face Partizan (7th) in the best-of-five series, holding a 39.08% probability. The same trend goes with another Spanish giant -- Real Madrid (3rd).

Los Blancos contain a 36.2% likelihood of meeting Partizan in the quarterfinals. This means Zeljko Obradovic's team possesses a 75.28% chance of having an encounter with one of the Spanish powerhouses.

Maccabi (5th) and Fenerbache (6th) are the other two most possible options for Real, involving 22.13% and 23.34% odds, respectively.

The last team with home-court advantage sealed, Monaco (4th) is nearing a matchup against Maccabi. Both squads have the highest probability of facing each other -- 56.46%.

Moreover, the Roca Team is the only team that cannot meet Anadolu Efes (10th) in the EuroLeague playoffs. The back-to-back champs are one win behind Zalgiris and Baskonia, so their overall chance of advancing to the next stage reaches only 10.78%.
