EuroLeague Playoffs Prediction: Hapoel Tel Aviv – Real Madrid (07-05-2026)

The EuroLeague playoff series between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Real Madrid remains alive after Hapoel responded with a strong defensive performance in Game 3.

Even so, Real Madrid still hold the overall advantage in the series and Game 4 now becomes an important spot for role players and rotation depth to make an impact.

Statistically, this line still looks slightly too low based on Maledon’s recent role in the EuroLeague playoffs.

His assist average has increased noticeably during the postseason compared to the EuroLeague regular season, and the numbers against Hapoel Tel Aviv specifically are also encouraging.

Across the first three games of this playoff series, Theo Maledon recorded 5 assists in 12 minutes, 4 assists in 16 minutes and 4 assists in 14 minutes.

The important part is that he’s producing those numbers without needing heavy minutes.

Even in shorter rotations, he continues to generate passing opportunities consistently.

He also recorded 3 assists in EuroLeague regular season home game against Hapoel.

Real Madrid will likely need more contribution from secondary ball handlers after struggling offensively in Game 3.

Based on the current EuroLeague playoff sample, Maledon reaching three assists looks very realistic if his minutes remain stable.
