Reds' perfect record on the line
· Olympiacos is 4-0 against ALBA in the EuroLeague this century, but the two teams have not faced each other since 2004.

Valencia Basket vs. Khimki Moscow Region
Duel of EuroCup giants
· Khimki and Valencia have faced off 13 times so far this decade; 11 of those have come in the EuroCup, including the 2012 title game, which Khimki won 77-68 to lift the crown. Two current Khimki players, Sergey Monia and Egor Vialtsev, played on the winning team. Khimki point guard Stefan Markovic played for Valencia in that game.

Mambo No. 5

AX Armani Exchange Milan vs. Anadolu Efes Istanbul
Home-team advantage

Last year in Milan, Mike James hit a three-pointer with a second left to lift Milan to an 81-80 victory. Efes returned the "favor" in Round 30, rallying from a double-digit third-quarter deficit to register a 101-95 win, which denied Milan a place in the playoffs.

LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul
The first time in a decade
· The last time ASVEL played in the EuroLeague, in the 2009-10 season, it split road wins against Fenerbahce. When Fenerbahce played at ASVEL, it scored a 76-78 overtime road win. That game was more than a decade ago, on October 28, 2009.

FC Barcelona vs. Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv

KIROLBET Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. Zenit St Petersburg
A tough trip for Zenit

Real Madrid vs. CSKA Moscow
Rudy’s big games
· Former All-EuroLeague forward Rudy Fernandez had some of his best games on his home floor for Real against CSKA. He collected a career-best 13 rebounds against CSKA in January 2013 and set a career-high with 28 points in March 2014. He earned MVP of the Round honors in each of those games.
