Zalgiris - Monaco

Monaco has been in good form, but the curve is steep. The team is running out of money, and the owner is being removed. There are no players, the same ones are running for the entire game. I think there will be a decline for Mike James. Goss is returning and I think this will be a favorable team for Žalgiris this season. Hayes won't be there, so Theis will have to play 30 minutes. I believe it will be a sure win for Peru today.

After the defeat against Baskonia. Zalgiris is returning home to play in front of their supporters. Monaco's form is falling, it is difficult for them to play in both tournaments because they also struggle in the French league. The coach constantly says that they lack players and Mike James, their biggest star, has to play a lot of minutes without rest.
Zalgiris plays well at home, and if they have a favorable game against Monaco, they will easily take the victory.
The team is complete, William Goss is also back on the court today, Rubstavicius suffered a weekend injury, but he doesn't get many minutes in the Euroleague anyway.
Let's go with green and white and let's hope for a win, good luck.

In this season, Jaron has reached this line in every third game (8 out of 25). Looking at the teams against which he scored double-digit point totals, these are the ones with weak interior defense and it is easy to get the ball under the basket, including Zalgiris.

Not many people expect Moses to be upset here when Monaco is missing two centers, but I do not expect that. Monaco is dynamic, constantly changing, and their offense is very aggressive, which will make it difficult for exhausted Moses to defend. There should be quite a few lost opportunities for smaller lineups.

Maccabi is one of the top teams in the Euroleague, playing at a strong pace. They rank third in pace in the Euroleague, with a good offensive rating and the second worst defensive rating. Partizan's team is a complete mess, but they still have talent to attack with. Pokusevski returned to the lineup, rookie Radanov made his debut. Perhaps Washington will be ready. In short, two of the worst defenses, but with something to offer on offense.

Hapoel does not convince me completely with Micic as the leader after Bryant's departure. The team is falling down as I expected in the second half of the season. There was more hype here than a serious team that will compete for the title. Itoudis is not a good coach, it's obvious and there are murmurs from within. It could be the last week for the coach. Zvezda is getting back on track, Butler is playing well, and Bolomboy has returned. The team is well coordinated and plays well, especially at home.

It seems illogical to give such coefficients when there is chaos going on in PAO. The situation with Nunnu is unclear, it seems that there are not only injuries, but also conflicts with Ataman. The results are poor, Aris team lost today. The owner has posted a video where he almost fights with all the players. There is tension in the team and it definitely does not contribute to such matches against such a serious opponent. Real is in optimal form.

I believe a very high coefficient is given for the Paris team, which courageously can win against Germany. Yes, Bayern is playing a better playoff, but when it comes to gathering points, Paris is on the same level. Both teams have caused sensations in the previous Euroleague tour, so their form is good. However, Paris seems to be an even more attractive option to me, and with such a coefficient, I think it's worth taking a risk only with them.

Saras has already implemented a significant amount of automation in his tactics, everything is organized, playing from the defense, identifying the opponent's leaders, and the large spears of the fenery are a nightmare for the opponents. In the Barca pit, but especially the creative Xavi knows how to control and climb out of such pits. Control will require a drop in tempo. Both coaches are good friends and it seems that they always measure their tricks in their meetings, which determines a slow pace.
