This way, Dubai Basketball stay in the race for the very top of the standings after the end of the Regular Season, as they are now on a 24:5 record, with the same number of wins as Partizan Mozzart Bet and one less than Budućnost VOLI, with the latter two still having their Round 29 game to play. On the other end, Igokea m:tel are now on an 18:11 record, which is a blow in their 5th place hunt, as they remain with the same number of wins in the standings as Cedevita Olimpija, but the Ljubljana squad have one more game to play until the end of the Regular Season.
