Monaco keeps its foot on the throttle en route to record night

On what ended up being a straightforward night for Vassilis Spanoulis’s [AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/), last season’s EuroLeague runner-up laid down a marker in its Rivalry Series clash at [LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne/asv/) on Wednesday.

Monaco came into the game having won seven straight games against ASVEL in the EuroLeague, with the only blot on its record being an 84-85 defeat in their first-ever meeting in Europe’s elite – a contest that saw [William Howard score a buzzer-beating three-pointer from the parking lot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGlCJvEnu0) to secure a memorable victory.

In this latest installment, Monaco’s quality showed against an error-prone ASVEL, grabbing a 52-84 win and making a bit of history in the process.

The 32-point difference between the teams, confirmed by a [Juhann Begarin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/juhann-begarin/008161/) dunk with one second to go, ensured this was the biggest triumph in Monaco’s EuroLeague history, surpassing the 30-point winning margin it had in [a 69-99 victory at Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/monaco-made-a-statement-with-huge-win-at-fenerbahce/) in 2024-25.

That’s not all. By holding ASVEL to just 52 points, Monaco set another club record for the fewest points allowed by an opponent, beating the 60 it [limited Olympiacos Piraeus to in a 64-60 win](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/monaco-turnaround-downs-olympiacos-64-60/) in 2022-23. Coach Spanoulis’s side also made a club-record 18 steals on the night, 5 more than its previous best (both in 2021-22).

Both teams will come away feeling like they could – and should – have played better, but for Monaco it was important to get back in the winning column after suffering back-to-back losses at Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade and Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade in the double-round week last week.

“Last week, ASVEL won against Partizan and we lost there, so the EuroLeague is like this,” Coach Spanoulis told EuroLeague TV after the game. “We played incredibly good defense.”

However, there is still room for improvement.

“I think we can play much better, but for me a win is a win,” he added. “I think we played incredibly good defense – we were locked in, we were concentrated.

“For sure, we can play better. It’s still November. We have a lot of things to improve, like shooting percentages, rebounds, rhythm of the game, consistency. It’s normal, it’s November.”

For star guard [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/), it was important that Monaco found a way to shake off its shaky start – it only scored 14 points in the first quarter – and begin to pull away, going on to lead 21-34 at the half and then 40-64 after three quarters.

“We started a little bit sloppy,” he admitted to EuroLeague TV. “I think the game in general was kind of sloppy. But we fought through, picked it up and came out with the win. Another game on the road, you’ve got to bring something from it.”

Wednesday night was Monaco’s fourth straight road game and its sixth in the last seven, but it now has the chance to start picking up some real momentum with five of its next six EuroLeague fixtures taking place at Salle Gaston Medecin, including the next three in a row.

Sitting on a 7-5 record after 12 games, don’t be surprised if you see Monaco surge up the standings as we head towards the turn of the year.

ASVEL had no answer for its French League rival

LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne v AS Monaco (2025-11-19T19:00:00.000Z)

Xavi Pascual didn’t waste any time setting expectations as he stepped back into the spotlight Wednesday, holding his first press conference in his second stint as FC Barcelona’s head coach. Roughly 50 media members crowded into the room – a turnout big enough that veteran center Jan Vesely joked about it after practice – and Pascual delivered a steady message: the past is off-limits, and the focus is entirely on what comes next.

Xavi Pascual: ‘I’ve come to Barça for one reason – to win’

[Xavi Pascual](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/fc-barcelona-reunites-with-coach-xavi-pascual/) didn’t waste any time setting expectations as he stepped back into the spotlight Wednesday, holding his first press conference in his second stint as [FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/bar/)’s head coach. Roughly 50 media members crowded into the room – a turnout big enough that veteran center Jan Vesely joked about it after practice – and Pascual delivered a steady message: the past is off-limits, and the focus is entirely on what comes next.

“I will never make any reference to the past,” Pascual said. “I have a lot of respect for Joan \[Peñarroya\] and everything he did. From now on, we talk about what *we* do – good or bad.”

Peñarroya was dismissed 10 days earlier, and interim coach Oscar Orellana guided Barça to a 3-0 week before Pascual’s arrival. Pascual made sure Orellana received his due. “We have to congratulate Oscar and his staff for those three important victories,” he said. “The players have been extraordinary these last two days. The intensity, the concentration… it creates excitement. We’re ready to play.”

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Work. Work. Work. <a href="https://t.co/Fgf8kvjWJJ">pic.twitter.com/Fgf8kvjWJJ</a></p>&mdash; Barça Basket (@FCBbasket) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBbasket/status/1990852505430077760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 18, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Pascual, who previously coached Barça from 2008 to 2016, admitted he always believed a return was possible, even if the timing surprised him. “I always imagined that one day I could come back,” he said with a smile. “I’ve been waiting for the call for eight years, but it never arrived. All over Europe, people told me, ‘You’ll end up back at Barça.’ I didn’t know when, but I always felt it might happen.”

The 52-year-old Catalan coach is one of the most accomplished in club history, having delivered the 2010 EuroLeague title along with four Spanish League and three Spanish Cup trophies during his nine-year run. He made clear that expectations remain unchanged. “I have come to Barça for one reason: to win,” Pascual said. “There are no transition seasons here. We’ll say it loudly – our goal is to compete for every title.”

Despite speculation about midseason roster moves, Pascual insisted he’ll take time to evaluate the group before making any decisions. Every coach and every player, he emphasized, starts with a clean slate. “I make decisions based on what I see and feel,” he said. “That’s why I haven’t changed any staff member. Everyone stays, everyone can show their value. The players will work with me, and based on that, we’ll decide if we need to make a move. Right now, we all have to be on the same page.”

Since leaving Barcelona in 2016, Pascual has coached at Zenit St. Petersburg and Panathinaikos, gaining experience managing different roster styles and taking over midseason, something he believes prepared him for this moment. “Experience is the accumulation of mistakes,” he said. “I’ve learned a lot about the European basketball reality. I’m still the same person, the same coach, but with more perspective and confidence.”

Pascual made it clear he didn’t return to build toward next season. The goal is to be competitive immediately. “This is Barcelona,” he said. “We play to win, not just to be there. I told the players directly: I’m not here to build something for next season. I’m here because I believe we can do big things *now*.”

After two years away from the EuroLeague, Pascual also acknowledged how meaningful the opportunity is. “I feel like a EuroLeague coach,” he said. “Not being there was hard for me. So I’m very happy to be back – and to do it with my club.”

Pregame quotes hub: Round 12

## Wednesday, November 19, 2025

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. AS Monaco (20:00 CET)

**Vassilis Spanoulis, Monaco head coach**

"In the Euroleague, there are no easy games. ASVEL’s standings at the start of the season mean nothing to us; we’re approaching this game with a lot of focus and determination. We believe in ourselves and our strengths, and we’re ready for this game."

**Nikola Mirotic, Monaco forward**

"We’re coming to Villeurbanne to win. We’re having good practices, we know our strengths and weaknesses, and the team is still looking to improve. This is a point in the season where we need to take the next step. We still have room for improvement to achieve more consistency and regularity, which we’ve lacked since the start of the season."

## Thursday, November 20, 2025

### Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. FC Barcelona (18:30 CET)

**Xavi Pascual, Barcelona head coach**

"Efes is a team with a very deep roster which has very important injuries, without a doubt, but even with that, the players they have are very good. We have to be focused and play very well to be able to win. It's a very dynamic team, and they also play a lot of minutes with two players who can play power forward and center \[Ercan Osmani and Rolands Smits\] which makes things more difficult. It is the kind of team that is not the one that best fits our characteristics. We have to play a very good game, and very balanced at both ends. And it won't be easy, because the players will give their all, but logically, there will be a new coach, and since they will give their all, there will also be a moment of pressure, because they will be able to show what they can so, and we need calm, tranquility in the most difficult moments. I'm very happy to be back in the EuroLeague, I feel like a EuroLeague coach, and not being there, for me, was complicated."

**Dario Brizuela, Barcelona guard**

"We are playing against a team that has a lot of talent and very mobile power forwards like Osmani and Smits, so in that sense they can make things complicated. We are talking about a very versatile team. As we did throughout the season, I think that being solid on defense is key, especially when you play on the road. If you go to a road game in the EuroLeague and you allow 100 points, you have great chances to lose. That will be the key, and then on offense, keep trying to be ourselves. Getting a road win in the EuroLeague is like winning twice because it is very difficult. In the situation we are in, it would be great to win. When you play for Barca, the goals are the highest ones, no matter who the coach or the players are. Xavi \[Pascual\] arrived here and has full confidence in our roster. He feels we can compete for everything and that is linked to how we felt since the first day of the season."

### Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens vs. Dubai Basketball (20:15 CET)

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (20:30 CET)

**Ettore Messina, Milan head coach**

"We're facing a team with enormous talent and depth. We'll need to play a game based on courage, cohesion, and pace, while also counting on the support of our people in the stands. The key aspects for us will be defending the players who create scoring for Hapoel and controlling the rebounds."

**Armoni Brooks, Milan guard**

"Hapoel is a very talented team, with a Final Four-caliber roster. We're facing a tough game and executing our game plan will be crucial. We have some absences, but like we did against Olympiacos, we want to embrace the challenge, focusing on our depth because on this team, everyone has occasionally been able to step up when needed, and it doesn't depend on one or two players."

**Dimitris Itoudis, Hapoel head coach**

"They are coming in with four straight wins - very important wins - and they have the personnel to win games in a variety of ways. They can play small ball, they use different lineups, and they have great ball-creators. They use a lot of switches, and their bigs are experienced and athletic. Overall, Milan has a deep roster. I don’t know who will be available and who won’t, so we’re preparing for each and every one of them."

**Collin Malcolm, Hapoel forward**

"Every EuroLeague game is tough. Milano has some really good, experienced players. We just have to make sure we control the game at our pace."

### Real Madrid vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (20:45 CET)

**Sergio Scariolo, Real head coach**

"I think we are facing one of the best teams in this first games in this EuroLeague season. Offensively, they are really good, with high shooting percentages and the ability to run the break, especially after forcing turnovers, which they know how to go They have the ability to play one-on-one, especially through Francisco and Lo. We have to keep having the ability of getting a lot of high-percentage shots like we did until now but obviously, trying to make them. That is what changes everything completely, even when it comes to being more fluid and having more space in the paint. We have to keep working to generate those shots and take them in practice to try to grow in that sense." 

**Usman Garuba, Real forward**

"Zalgiris is a team that had a very good start of the season and is playing great games. They had a great start and it is going to be hard for us tomorrow, but we have to be ready. The team is ready to face this new challenge. I think this game is important in order to keep taking steps forward in the EuroLeague, which is what we all want, to keep improving. Defense has to be our main strength because if we play good defense, everything else will flow. We have to try to play great defense in this game to stop Zalgiris's game. This is a strong test at home and we have to try to add a win at Movistar Arena, always pushed by our fans. That would be very important for the whole team."

Xavi Pascual returns to FC Barcelona: Reliving his greatest triumphs

[FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/bar/) is looking to its past to shape its future. Nine years after his departure, [Xavi Pascual is back on the bench](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/fc-barcelona-reunites-with-coach-xavi-pascual/), tasked with restoring a basketball program that has endured seasons of inconsistency, a shortage of titles, and financial limitations. His return marks one of the most anticipated comebacks in club history, reigniting excitement among fans who now see their most beloved coach ready to lead the team once again.

Before dedicating himself fully to coaching, Pascual was an industrial engineer — a background that shaped his analytical and methodical approach to the game. He joined Barça in the 2004–05 season, quickly rising through the ranks: first in the youth system, then as Dusko Ivanovic’s assistant, and finally, in February 2008, as head coach of the first team.

What followed was one of the most successful eras in Barça basketball history. Over eight seasons, Pascual captured 19 titles, including the 2010 EuroLeague, multiple Spanish League championships, Copa del Rey trophies, Supercups, and a string of Catalan League crowns.

Javier Gancedo shares his recommendations for Round 12 in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge

Fantasy tips, Round 12: Unlimited trades again! 

This week promises to be a very interesting one in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge. Round 12 brings unlimited trades, so don't miss the chance to improve your team. We will have three turns in this round, since LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne takes on AS Monaco on Wednesday. I've made a few recommendations at different price ranges, but first, let's see how my picks worked last week.

Nadir Hifi of Paris Basketball recorded 18 and 17.8 fantasy points in the double-round week, so I will call this one in my favour. Wade Baldwin of Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul had 17.6 points in Round 10, but just 4.4 in Round 11. That's a bad tip. Duane Washington of Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade went for 14.3 points against Monaco in Round 10; he scored 22 points, but on 7 of 17 shooting. In Round 11, Washington scored 19 points with a PIR of 12. That's a good one.

Armal Traore of ASVEL had a huge game in Milan: 19 points and 6 rebounds for a PIR of 25. He followed that up with 11 points and 4 steals for a PIR of 14. Another good one. Sailou Niang of Virtus Bologna did not keep his momentum after a career-best performance in Round 9. He had 5.5 fantasy points against Anadolu Efes Istanbul in Round 10 and 10 points against FC Barcelona in Round 11. So that's two good ones, two bad ones and one tie. I hope to do much better in Round 12.

### T.J. Leaf, Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv (12.2 credits)

Slowly but steadily, [T.J. Leaf](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tj-leaf/014012/) is becoming one of Maccabi's pillars with good performances. In Round 11 against Baskonia, he needed less than 20 minutes to get 19 points and 7 rebounds for a PIR of 26. Over his last five games, Leaf has had a PIR of 24 or higher three times. Expect him to keep getting better.

### Nick Weiler-Babb, Anadolu Efes Istanbul (11.6 credits)

Unfortunately, this one is injury-related. Shane Larkin is expected to miss some time, which means [Nick Weiler-Babb](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nick-weiler-babb/010391/) should have more responsibilities and playing time. He's had double-digit PIRs in each of the last four games, averaging 18.3 in that stretch. He should have a good game against Barça.

Nick Weiler-Babb should have more responsibilities and playing time.

### Kenneth Faried, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (10.1 credits)

Well, this is a surprise. We were all aware of [Kenneth Faried](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/kenneth-faried/011284/)'s skills, but his previous experience in the EuroLeague with CSKA Moscow was not promising. Faried delivered in the double-round, averaging 16.5 points and 9.0 rebounds for a PIR of 22.5. All of a sudden, he is a great, cheap pick at center.

### Aleksa Avramovic, Dubai Basketball (8.3 credits)

Here we go again. Just like last time around, [Aleksa Avramovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/aleksa-avramovic/003983/) is a great budget option going forward due to his energy, shooting accuracy and feel for steals. In Round 11, Avramovic had 16 points, 7 assists and 2 steals for a PIR of 27 in just 23 minutes. He had a PIR of 19 in Round 10. ALEKSAAAAAA!!!!

### Ognjen Dobric, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (6.0 credits)

Suddenly, [Ognjen Dobric](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/ognjen-dobric/004007/) is playing some of the best basketball of his career. Everything clicked for him in Round 11, when he went for 22 points on 4-of-5 three-point shooting and 4 rebounds for a PIR of 26. Over his last three games, Dobric has averaged a PIR of 17.0. Right now, he is the go-to bargain forward in the game.

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv outlasted Maccabi 85-80 in a gripping Israeli League contest on Monday

Hapoel edges Maccabi in thrilling Tel Aviv derby 

On Monday night, two weeks after falling to Maccabi in the EuroLeague, Dimitris Itoudis and Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv squad got their revenge. Roared on by a passionate crowd, Hapoel outlasted Maccabi 85-80 in a gripping Israeli League contest, preserving their undefeated domestic record.

Johnathan Motley starred with 20 points, Antonio Blakeney netted 19 on 5-of-10 three-point shooting and Elijah Bryant added 16 points and Tyler Ennis had 15 for the winners. Roman Sorkin paced Maccabi with 26 points, Tamir Blatt contributed 14 points and 7 assists and Marcio Santos tallied 10 points in defeat.

<center>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="iw" dir="rtl">לא התבלבלנו. <br>תל אביב אדומה 👹 <a href="https://t.co/O3j6ERu4U8">pic.twitter.com/O3j6ERu4U8</a></p>&mdash; Hapoel Tel Aviv BC (@HapoelTLVBC) <a href="https://twitter.com/HapoelTLVBC/status/1990521721175355553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 17, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The atmosphere was electric from tipoff. Maccabi seemed poised for another win after taking a narrow 2-point lead early and then surging to a promising 41-49 halftime advantage thanks to lockdown defense and sharp shooting from Sorkin and Blatt. But halftime brought a dramatic shift. Hapoel returned re-energized, even as Maccabi pushed its lead into double digits midway through the third. Motley and Bryant sparked a comeback, chipping away at the deficit until only a single point separated the sides entering the final quarter, 61-62.

Then, Blakeney seized the spotlight. Despite earlier shooting struggles, the guard nailed 3 crucial three-pointers in the fourth, scoring 11 of his points when it mattered most. With help from Motley and Bryant, Hapoel erased Maccabi’s last lead in the dying minutes. As Blakeney’s back-to-back threes shifted momentum and Motley’s late dunk sealed the deal, the arena erupted in celebration.

Round 12 of the EuroLeague Regular Season delivers another batch of thrilling games, including one coaching legend returning to the bench and another facing his former team. Whet your appetite here.

## Wednesday, November 19, 2025

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. AS Monaco (20:00 CET)

The action starts with one Wednesday game as ASVEL (3-8) welcomes Monaco (6-5) for a French league derby. Monaco needs to bounce back after losing twice last week, while ASVEL boosted its confidence with a hard-fought win over Partizan. The varied threat of big man Zac Seljaas was instrumental to that success with 18 points, 4 boards and 3 assists, and he will attempt to disrupt the inside effectiveness of Monaco’s Daniel Theis, who has only reached double digits once in the last five games. The backcourt battle will see one of this season’s breakout stars face the all-time scoring leader, with ASVEL’s red-hot Glynn Watson (18.3 points and 6 assists in the last three games) vying for supremacy with Mike James, who top scored with 18 points in his team’s loss at Zvezda last time out.

## Thursday, November 20, 2025

### Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. FC Barcelona (18:30 CET)

Xavi Pascual returns to Barcelona’s (7-4) bench for the first time in nine years with a testing trip to Efes (4-7). The Spanish team – one of four tied for third place – grabbed a couple of tough wins last week and has former Efes forward Will Clyburn in great form, averaging 15 points in the last five games. He faces a good matchup against ex-Barca man Rolands Smits, who delivered a strong performance with 15 points and 5 rebounds to help overcome Bayern last time out. The home team will also hope that playmaker Shane Larkin can overcome injury, and needs to show the same collective defense that was key against Bayern. Barca big man Jan Vesely has hit good form in recent weeks, and will look to dominate against Efes’s fast-improving Brice Dessert.

### Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens vs. Dubai Basketball (20:15 CET)

Resurgent Dubai (5-6) takes a two-game winning streak to face a Panathinaikos team (7-4) that also won twice last week. Kenneth Faried will make his home debut for the Greens after excelling with averages of 16.5 points and 9 rebounds in his opening pair of appearances, and Panathinaikos also has TJ Shorts in top form after he provided 19 points and 6 assists in the Round 11 victory over Real. But Faried faces a tough adversary in Mfiondu Kabengele, who returned from injury with 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead Dubai to victory over Zalgiris last time out. Both teams excel in taking care of the basketball, with Panathinaikos ranked second in the league in turnovers (10.5 per game) and Dubai close behind (10.8), so maintaining that efficiency will be a major focus.

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (20:30 CET)

Red-hot Milan (6-5) will look for a fifth straight win as it hosts high-flying Hapoel (8-3). The visiting team is aiming to bounce back from last week's loss to Fenerbahce, where 19 points from the always dangerous Elijah Bryant weren't enough to lift an unusually stagnant offense. Milan, in contrast, showed great spirit to overcome several injury absences to win twice last week, with Quinn Ellis and Armoni Brooks continuing to shine as offensive leaders. Both teams are great shooting from long range, with Milan ranked third in the league in three-point accuracy (39.2%) and Hapoel slightly better (40.4%), so the ability to convert from beyond the arc could significantly help to decide the outcome.

### Real Madrid vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (20:45 CET)

Two teams seeking a return to form meet in Madrid as Real (5-6) hosts Zalgiris (7-4). After losing twice last week, Real will try to bounce back behind the inside force of Walter Tavares, who provided his first double-double of the season against Panathinaikos last time out. His battle for dominance inside the paint with visiting center Moses Wright (12.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game) will be a key matchup. Real would welcome a return to form by forward Mario Hezonja, who has fallen below his usual standards in recent weeks, while Zalgiris hopes to counter him with another strong game from Azuolas Tubelis, who has averaged 13 points and 6 rebounds in the last three games.

## Friday, November 21, 2025

### Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Paris Basketball (20:15 CET)

After ending a four-game losing streak, Paris (5-6) will look to build more momentum with a tough trip to Olympiacos (7-4). Paris's badly needed victory over Valencia last time out owed a lot to the all-around abilities of forward Derek Willis, whose ability to stretch the floor with long-range shooting could be crucial. The Reds' up-and-down season continued with a defeat at Milan in Round 11 despite the often underrated Alec Peters pouring in 27 points on 11-of-13 shooting.The host will look to get back to winning ways with the help of the versatile talents of former Paris star Tyson Ward, who is looking to recover his three-point accuracy after going 0-of-13 from beyond the arc in the last five games.

### Virtus Bologna vs. Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv (20:30 CET)

Two teams seeking the consistency required to climb the standings meet in Bologna as Virtus (5-6) welcomes Maccabi (3-8). The Italian team will look to extend its 100% home record behind the scoring skills of Matt Morgan, who has recorded double-digits in five of the last six games. Maccabi earned a good win over Baskonia last time out and is hoping that forward TJ Leaf can continue to fire after he netted 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting in that win. The visiting team has the league’s worst defense, allowing 93.7 points per game, and also ranks last in allowing opponents to grab offensive rebounds, so will need to improve its intensity to inflict a first home loss on Virtus.

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (20:30 CET)

Partizan (4-7) is seeking a return to form with the tough task of overcoming reigning champ Fenerbahce (6-5). Coach Zeljko Obradovic's latest reunion with his former team comes after a disappointing road loss at ASVEL despite another strong scoring night from Sterling Brown (20 points), so the home team is under pressure to respond. Fener, in contrast, enjoyed its temporary residence in Munich by grabbing two victories, and the emergence of Talen Horton-Tucker into a consistent scorer adds an important offensive weapon. Both teams have struggled for offensive fluidity, with Partizan ranked next-to-last in assists (16.2 per game) and Fenerbahce only slightly better (16.5), so efficient ball movement could be crucial.

### Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. FC Bayern Munich (20:30 CET)

Baskonia (3-8) is seeking a fourth straight home win as it welcomes inconsistent Bayern (5-6). The Spanish team's defensive frailty was again evident in last week's road loss at Maccabi, so Bayern's sharpshooting Andreas Obst and Isiaha Mike will hope to take advantage. On that note, Baskonia needs shooting ace Markus Howard to start firing after making just 5 of his 18 field goal attempts since returning from injury, and will have to fight hard for offensive rebounds against a Bayern team that ranks second in the league in denying second-chance opportunities, giving up just 9.5 offensive boards per night. The German team has struggled on the road this season (1-3), and that needs to change fast as it continues a run of seven consecutive away games.

### Valencia Basket vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (21:00 CET)

Potent offense faces dominating defense as Valencia (6-5) defends its homecourt against co-leader Zvezda (8-3). The Spanish team ranks second in scoring with 90.1 points per night, and has won four out of five at the new Roig Arena. But Zvezda ranks second in defensive PIR, holding its opponents to 32.5% on three-point attempts – a key aspect against a Valencia team that has attempted the league’s second-highest number of long-range strikes (32.6 per game). One of the visitor’s main scoring threats is former Valencia forward Semi Ojeleye, who netted 15 and 14 points in last week’s two games and will relish his matchup with former teammate Nate Reuvers (8.9 points and 3.7 boards per game). Another key matchup takes place between two do-it-all guards, Darius Thompson and Codi Miller-McIntyre.

After a single contest on Wednesday, Round 12 continues with four Thursday games and five more on Friday

## Wednesday, November 19, 2025

### [LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne 52-84 AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne-as-monaco/E2025/111/)

Monaco ended its two-game losing streak by thrashing ASVEL 52-84 in this week’s Rivalry Series clash at LDLC Arena. By securing a 32-point victory, this marks the biggest win in Monaco’s EuroLeague history, surpassing the 30-point margin it secured at Fenerbahce (69-99) in 2024-25. ASVEL’s 52 points, however, are the joint second fewest it has ever scored in the EuroLeague. Monaco improves to 7-5 on the season while rock-bottom ASVEL drops to 3-9.

Mike James and Nikola Mirotic top scored for Monaco with 12 points apiece, with Elie Okobo adding 11. James dished 7 assists, too. Jaron Blossomgame also had a solid game, pairing 8 points with 10 rebounds. On a night that saw Thomas Heurtel make his season debut, ASVEL did not have a single player score a double-digit number of points.

## Thursday, November 20, 2025

### [Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. FC Barcelona (18:30 CET)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/anadolu-efes-istanbul-fc-barcelona/E2025/112/)

Xavi Pascual returns to Barcelona’s (7-4) bench for the first time in nine years with a testing trip to Efes (4-7). The Spanish team – one of four tied for third place – grabbed a couple of tough wins last week and has former Efes forward Will Clyburn in great form, averaging 15 points in the last five games. He faces a good matchup against ex-Barca man Rolands Smits, who delivered a strong performance with 15 points and 5 rebounds to help overcome Bayern last time out. The home team will also hope that playmaker Shane Larkin can overcome injury, and needs to show the same collective defense that was key against Bayern. Barca big man Jan Vesely has hit good form in recent weeks, and will look to dominate against Efes’s fast-improving Brice Dessert.

### [Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens vs. Dubai Basketball (20:15 CET)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/panathinaikos-aktor-athens-dubai-basketball/E2025/114/)

Resurgent Dubai (5-6) takes a two-game winning streak to face a Panathinaikos team (7-4) that also won twice last week. Kenneth Faried will make his home debut for the Greens after excelling with averages of 16.5 points and 9 rebounds in his opening pair of appearances, and Panathinaikos also has TJ Shorts in top form after he provided 19 points and 6 assists in the Round 11 victory over Real. But Faried faces a tough adversary in Mfiondu Kabengele, who returned from injury with 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead Dubai to victory over Zalgiris last time out. Both teams excel in taking care of the basketball, with Panathinaikos ranked second in the league in turnovers (10.5 per game) and Dubai close behind (10.8), so maintaining that efficiency will be a major focus.

### [EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (20:30 CET)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/ea7-emporio-armani-milan-hapoel-ibi-tel-aviv/E2025/113/)

Red-hot Milan (6-5) will look for a fifth straight win as it hosts high-flying Hapoel (8-3). The visiting team is aiming to bounce back from last week's loss to Fenerbahce, where 19 points from the always dangerous Elijah Bryant weren't enough to lift an unusually stagnant offense.

Two teams seeking a return to form meet in Madrid as Real (5-6) hosts Zalgiris (7-4). After losing twice last week, Real will try to bounce back behind the inside force of Walter Tavares, who provided his first double-double of the season against Panathinaikos last time out. His battle for dominance inside the paint with visiting center Moses Wright (12.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game) will be a key matchup. Real would welcome a return to form by forward Mario Hezonja, who has fallen below his usual standards in recent weeks, while Zalgiris hopes to counter him with another strong game from Azuolas Tubelis, who has averaged 13 points and 6 rebounds in the last three games.

### [Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Paris Basketball (20:15 CET)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/olympiacos-piraeus-paris-basketball/E2025/117/)

After ending a four-game losing streak, Paris (5-6) will look to build more momentum with a tough trip to Olympiacos (7-4). Paris's badly needed victory over Valencia last time out owed a lot to the all-around abilities of forward Derek Willis, whose ability to stretch the floor with long-range shooting could be crucial. The Reds' up-and-down season continued with a defeat at Milan in Round 11 despite the often underrated Alec Peters pouring in 27 points on 11-of-13 shooting.The host will look to get back to winning ways with the help of the versatile talents of former Paris star Tyson Ward, who is looking to recover his three-point accuracy after going 0-of-13 from beyond the arc in the last five games.

### [Virtus Bologna vs. Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv (20:30 CET)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/virtus-bologna-maccabi-rapyd-tel-aviv/E2025/120/)

Two teams seeking the consistency required to climb the standings meet in Bologna as Virtus (5-6) welcomes Maccabi (3-8). The Italian team will look to extend its 100% home record behind the scoring skills of Matt Morgan, who has recorded double-digits in five of the last six games. Maccabi earned a good win over Baskonia last time out and is hoping that forward TJ Leaf can continue to fire after he netted 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting in that win. The visiting team has the league’s worst defense, allowing 93.7 points per game, and also ranks last in allowing opponents to grab offensive rebounds, so will need to improve its intensity to inflict a first home loss on Virtus.

### [Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (20:30 CET)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/partizan-mozzart-bet-belgrade-fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/E2025/118/)

Partizan (4-7) is seeking a return to form with the tough task of overcoming reigning champ Fenerbahce (6-5). Coach Zeljko Obradovic's latest reunion with his former team comes after a disappointing road loss at ASVEL despite another strong scoring night from Sterling Brown (20 points), so the home team is under pressure to respond. Fener, in contrast, enjoyed its temporary residence in Munich by grabbing two victories, and the emergence of Talen Horton-Tucker into a consistent scorer adds an important offensive weapon. Both teams have struggled for offensive fluidity, with Partizan ranked next-to-last in assists (16.2 per game) and Fenerbahce only slightly better (16.5), so efficient ball movement could be crucial.

### [Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. FC Bayern Munich (20:30 CET)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz-fc-bayern-munich/E2025/116/)

Baskonia (3-8) is seeking a fourth straight home win as it welcomes inconsistent Bayern (5-6). The Spanish team's defensive frailty was again evident in last week's road loss at Maccabi, so Bayern's sharpshooting Andreas Obst and Isiaha Mike will hope to take advantage. On that note, Baskonia needs shooting ace Markus Howard to start firing after making just 5 of his 18 field goal attempts since returning from injury, and will have to fight hard for offensive rebounds against a Bayern team that ranks second in the league in denying second-chance opportunities, giving up just 9.5 offensive boards per night. The German team has struggled on the road this season (1-3), and that needs to change fast as it continues a run of seven consecutive away games.

### [Valencia Basket vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (21:00 CET)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/valencia-basket-crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/E2025/119/)

Potent offense faces dominating defense as Valencia (6-5) defends its homecourt against co-leader Zvezda (8-3). The Spanish team ranks second in scoring with 90.1 points per night, and has won four out of five at the new Roig Arena. But Zvezda ranks second in defensive PIR, holding its opponents to 32.5% on three-point attempts – a key aspect against a Valencia team that has attempted the league’s second-highest number of long-range strikes (32.6 per game). One of the visitor’s main scoring threats is former Valencia forward Semi Ojeleye, who netted 15 and 14 points in last week’s two games and will relish his matchup with former teammate Nate Reuvers (8.9 points and 3.7 boards per game). Another key matchup takes place between two do-it-all guards, Darius Thompson and Codi Miller-McIntyre.
