Milutinovas returned with a bang, playing like one of the top centers in the league. He will face Monaco today, playing against Papagiannis and Motiejunas, who are both soft players from Ghana and should not give Milutinovas any problems under the basket. He has scored over this total in 5 out of 7 previous games, only missing the first game after returning from injury and scoring 11 points again. He has always scored points and today I expect an even better performance, especially now that Wright is out. He should get more minutes and score over in each period.
The first match with the new coach's rules ended and in the second match I think we will see a tougher Monaco and dominant Olympiakos again. The leaders have returned and I believe they will once again seem almost unstoppable, while the Monaco club does not seem as powerful as before.
Wright is not there, only 2 centers remain. Milutinov is not a long-minute player, just like Bartzokas' rotation, so Fall will get his minutes as always. Monaco's centers are soft, so Fall will have many handicaps.
There is always a good fight between these teams, Monaco looks quite wavy, but since changing the coach it looks good for now, but I think it's a temporary thing, it will take time to get used to the new coach. When Vezenkov returns, it will look good for Oly again. I see advantage over handicaps from Oly's side, the centers should dominate here, Walkup will stop James.
Lithuanian defender Loyd from Monaco, who scored 15 points in the third game against Peru, which bookmakers should give a 3 point coefficient, but they offer 3.9 which is worth paying attention to. The player himself gets enough time on the court - on average 22 minutes, and if it's his day, he could add even more time.
Armani plays well, Mannion's addition has brought a lot of benefits to the team. Dimitrevic is also starting to play well. Mirotic seems to be one of the better players in the league for now. Leday's form is also good. Zvezda wiped out Bayern, but their shooting in the game was crazy, they made everything they threw. Petrusevas playing exceptional basketball since he arrived, but he can't do it alone. Nedovic is out. Zvezda's team is completely different when playing away. Milan should continue their good game and secure a win.
I am looking forward to another good performance from our team. After the defeat in the derby, we had a great match against Bayern, showing signs of life. Despite the absence of our key player and injuries, our defensive line is still strong and we have added Dobricius to the game, so we have someone to rely on. Milan is in a good streak, but I am hesitant to trust them, as they have a history of being unpredictable. Hopefully, we will have a lot of support from our fans, which should also be a factor.
Returning Shelds and the well-performing Broks with Dimitrijevicius, I don't see Causeur playing much at all, there will be a lot of wasted minutes during which it will be difficult to score such a total.
Milan, one of the leading teams in the region, has a defender - Shields, who has been struggling this season and has only crossed the 15 points line once in seven games. In the last match against Tortona, he showed signs of recovery with both a high shooting percentage and scoring 17 points. Just yesterday, bookmakers offered odds of 4.2 for him, but today it has dropped to 3.15.
Milano, one of the leaders of the league, the wing player - Shields, is having a difficult time this season, having crossed the 20 point mark only once in seven games. In the last match against Tortona, he showed signs of recovery with high shooting percentages and scoring 17 points. Last season, he crossed the 20 point line in every fourth game.
Clyburn only scored 20+ points twice this season, one of which was in the last round against Paris, but against Alba, the majority of player statistics are inflated. Clyburn is still a good player and a lot relies on him in Virtus' game, he makes a lot of shots. There is no one on Alba's team who can stop Clyburn, it will just depend on whether he has a good day or not. He can attack and drive against anyone.
William is given a lot of freedom there and can spend it as much as he wants, while Alba has very little and if foolish mistakes don't stop him, he will easily come out on top, I think, because Virtus always has problems with heights.
