EuroLeague Basketball: Picks For Semi-Final Games (May 23)

The biggest prize in European basketball will be handed out on May 25, 2025, as the final of the EuroLeague will be staged. However, the two teams that will compete in the showpiece game will be determined on May 23, as the semi-finals are held in Abu Dhabi. You can find our EuroLeague picks for both semi-finals here.

EuroLeague Picks

Fenerbahce vs. Panathinaikos Odds & Picks

The standout semi-final could come in the form of the clash between Fenerbahce and Panathinaikos. Fenerbahce finished the regular season in second place overall, and they easily overcame Anadolu Enes in the previous round.

The Turkish team haven’t won the EuroLeague since 2017, but they have finished runners-up in three of the last nine seasons. Panathinaikos were the highest scorers in the regular season, ending the campaign with a 22-12 record.

The Greek side won the competition last season, but their defensive record would be a concern at this stage of the tournament this season. For that reason, it could be worth siding with the outsider on the moneyline in the semi-finals.

Olympiacos vs. Monaco Odds & Picks

Olympiacos have been the standout team in the EuroLeague throughout the season, amassing a record of 24-10 this term. The Greek side have scored 2941 points, and they have allowed 2770.

They have reached the final on three occasions since 2014-15, which includes a defeat in the featured game at the end of last season. However, it is easy to argue that they are an improved team this time around.

Monaco finished fourth in the regular season standings, accumulating a record of 21-13. The team scored an impressive 2913 points.

Monaco previously won the EuroLeague in 2021. It could be worth chancing the outsiders after beating Olympiacos earlier this season, and they appear to have hit their peak form at the right time.
