EA7 Emporio Armani Milan
Baskonia Vitoria-GasteizIf Zvezda wins, the Top 10 standings will be locked in, and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan will be officially out of postseason contention, regardless of what happens in their remaining games.
On the other hand, if Efes defeats Zvezda, Milan's hopes of making the postseason will still be alive.
In this case, Milan would need to win their last two games and rely on Zvezda losing their final two matchups to secure a playoff spot.
This is the last remaining scenario that could allow Milan to sneak into the postseason, and it will be a tense few days ahead for the Italian squad.
That's because if Milan win the last two games, they will have 18 wins and 16 losses. Other teams that could have the same record are Paris Basketball, Anadolu Efes, and Crvena Zvezda.
Milan have lost against Efes both times this season, meaning they would still be behind them. As for Paris, they have an 8-point lead on Milan. They lost the first game by 5, won the second by 13.
The only team that Olimpia has a winning record against of those three is Zvezda. If both records are 18-16, Milan will advance.
