EuroLeague scores

Anadolu Efes 89–80 Besiktas

An explosive 29–17 opening period set the tone early for Anadolu Efes, who established a commanding 57–36 cushion by the interval. That foundational work was plenty to withstand a push back, as the hosts eventually closed out an 89–80 victory over Besiktas.

Offensively, Cameron Payne spearheaded the winning side with a game-high 20 points. Besiktas relied primarily on Jaylen Nowell, who provided team-best scoring honors in defeat by contributing 14 points.

The computer model proved accurate here, having given Anadolu Efes a 64% likelihood to triumph alongside a projected final of 88–85. With the nine-point margin, the home team covered the -4.5 spread, while the 169 combined points fell short of the 172.5 total line.

Both Turkish clubs now hold identical 3–4 records, slotting Anadolu Efes into 12th place and Besiktas into 13th. Next up on the calendar, Anadolu Efes will play home to Korfez Basket on Sun 25 Oct, whereas Besiktas head away at Bahcesehir Kol. on Sat 24 Oct.

Dubai 107–91 Bayern

A staggering 29–14 first-quarter assault put Dubai firmly in the driving seat away from home, and their dominance only widened as they carried a 63–36 lead into halftime. Bayern could not bridge the gap, resulting in a comprehensive 107–91 win for the road side.

A standout double-double-caliber showing from Mfiondu Kabengele powered the offense, as he tallied 24 points and pulled down 7 rebounds. On the opposite side of the floor, Bayern were led by 17 points from Duane Washington.

The system had favored Dubai slightly at 51%, expecting an 87–86 road win, and that projection came through with room to spare. Bayern failed to protect the +1.5 spread, and the high-flying 198-point tally easily cleared the pregame total of 172.5.

The outcome lifts Dubai to 5–2 and 5th in the standings, while Bayern tumble to 17th with a 2–5 record. For their next European commitments on Tue 27 Oct, Bayern will be home to Barcelona while Dubai play home to Paris.

Real Madrid 113–99 Maccabi Tel Aviv

Despite walking into the halftime locker room trailing 52–51, Real Madrid turned the tide with a clinical 30–21 third-quarter surge. That second-half turnaround allowed the visitors to run away with an offensive shootout, capturing a 113–99 triumph over Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Playmaker Facundo Campazzo served as Madrid's catalyst, posting 21 points to go with 5 assists. Maccabi Tel Aviv stayed competitive behind a strong individual display from J. Clark, who countered with 20 points.

Real Madrid justified their 61% favorite status from the model, which had anticipated a 91–89 win. In reality, Madrid easily beat the +4.5 spread covering Maccabi, while the day-high 212 points comfortably soared above the 182.5 total forecast.

Victory moves Real Madrid into 7th spot at 4–3, while Maccabi Tel Aviv slide to 16th with their 2–5 record. Looking forward, Maccabi travel to play away at Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet on Tue 27 Oct, and Real Madrid hit the road away at Forca Lleida on Sun 25 Oct.

Panathinaikos 85–79 Baskonia

Taking a modest 43–40 edge into the locker rooms, Panathinaikos created vital separation during a 20–14 third period. Baskonia remained within striking distance throughout, but the hosts held their ground to confirm an 85–79 result.

Inside presence Mathias Lessort proved pivotal for the hosts, collecting 20 points and gathering 6 rebounds. Baskonia's top individual contribution belonged to Matteo Spagnolo, who finished with 16 points alongside 4 assists.

The outright winner was never in doubt for the algorithm, which handed Panathinaikos an 89% win likelihood with a 91–80 scoreline. However, Panathinaikos could not overcome the hefty -15.5 spread, and the collective 164 points stayed beneath the 172.5 baseline.

Holding a strong 6–1 mark, Panathinaikos sit at the summit of the table in 1st place, leaving 1–6 Baskonia anchored down in 20th. Next, Panathinaikos host a domestic fixture home to AS Karditsas on Sat 24 Oct, and Baskonia head away at Valencia on Sun 25 Oct.

Barcelona 89–81 Olimpia Milano

Barcelona took a 44–40 lead into halftime in Milan and maintained control by edging the third frame 27–24. Olimpia Milano were unable to reverse momentum down the stretch, allowing the Spanish side to secure an 89–81 away victory.

Guard Kevin Punter paced Barcelona with 15 points. At the other end, Jason Burnell matched that total with 15 points of his own to lead Milano's scoring efforts.

This outcome went against the model's call, which had favored Olimpia Milano at 52% with an 89–88 scoreline. The Italian club missed out on covering the -2.5 line, and the 170-point sum fell just under the projected total of 175.5.

With the win, Barcelona rise to 4–3 and 9th place, while Olimpia Milano drop to 19th with a 1–6 ledger. Next, Olimpia Milano are home to Virtus Bologna on Sun 25 Oct, whereas Barcelona return home to Basket Zaragoza on Sat 24 Oct.

Partizan Mozzart Bet 85–82 Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet

Partizan Mozzart Bet built an early 31–21 advantage in the opening quarter and sustained a 52–38 cushion by the halfway mark. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet staged a dramatic comeback to push the clash past regulation, but the hosts held on in extra time to snatch an 85–82 overtime thriller.

Star guard Carlik Jones stood tall for Partizan, posting 26 points and dishing out 5 assists. Crvena Zvezda stayed in the fight behind 22 points and 4 assists from Chris Jones.

The razor-thin prediction had leaned toward Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet at 50% with an expected 82–81 score, meaning the pick was graded as a miss. Partizan successfully covered the -1.5 spread, while the extra period helped push the 167 total points past the 163.5 projection.
