Monaco - Zalgiris

Hello.
Euroleague. Monaco vs Žalgiris. We are going with the Žalgiris plus handicap. Monaco is a solid team and after the final four it seems even stronger. They didn't lose much (except Loyd), but added Mirotic and Hayes. They are both really solid players. I'm curious to see how Mirotic and Mike will perform, but I think it will be difficult for them to find their rhythm at the beginning. Also, Monaco always struggles against Žalgiris and there are never any blowouts here. And on top of that, it's the start of the season where everyone is dealing with injuries.

Žalgiris looks good on paper. Of course, it's hard to evaluate their abilities when the team only started training with the real LKL start, but they didn't have many problems at the beginning of the season on the local front. They looked solid against Neptūnas and it seems like the team is fitting together well. There are many players who want to prove themselves - Wright (to show he's not as bad as he looked on Olympiacos), Tubelis (to show fans why he's here), Sirvydis (to show that he's better than he was at Eurobasket). Overall, under a new coach, I think everyone will want to perform and earn their minutes. And this year, we definitely have more talent than we had before.

8 points is a huge handicap and I think it's too much for Žalgiris to cover today. Good luck.
