Baskonia Team News
Baskonia made the biggest surprise of the 27th round of the Euroleague. With Matt Costello’s three-pointer in the last second, they defeated Real Madrid in the capital of Spain and thus achieved their 15th victory in this competition. If they beat Monaco in this match, they will be one step away from appearing in the quarterfinals.
Baskonia’s offense has been outstanding throughout the season, especially when they play at the Fernando Buesa Arena. Only Olympiacos and Barcelona have won from Vitoria in the Euroleague this year. Markus Howard isn’t at the level he was in the first few months, but that’s why Darius Thompson has picked up his form. Vanja Marinković and Rokas Giedraitis are a constant threat in shooting, and Maik Kotsar is in charge of the “dirty work” in the racket.
Last week, Baskonia dropped 114 points on Valencia at home. Once they get an opponent into their rhythm, they are almost impossible to slow down. Monaco did not excel defensively this season, and Joan Penarroya’s team will try to use that to their advantage.
Monaco Team News
Monaco holds fourth place with a record of 17-10, but Fenerbahce is breathing down their necks. Last season, the “Princes” were one win away from appearing in the Final Four. They know how important it is to maintain the current position, which would bring home an advantage in the quarterfinals.
If we compare all the teams in the Euroleague, Monaco is the only team that has played in the same rhythm since the beginning of the season. They usually win against those weaker than themselves and lose against better rivals. They didn’t make a name for themselves, even in away games against slightly weaker opponents such as Partizan, Maccabi, Crvena Zvezda, and Valencia. Mike James had a disagreement with coach Saša Obradović on a couple of occasions recently, but it seems there were no seriously damaged relations.
Monaco’s result depends mainly on the offensive production of James, Loy, and Okob. With a good defense, this team can beat anyone in Europe when the two are in a good rhythm. Those two factors will be decisive for the match’s outcome in Vitoria.

Baskonia vs Monaco Prediction
There is a big difference in the editions of these teams at home and away. Baskonia plays fantastically in their hall, while Monaco has had many problems in the last three months in the matches they don’t play on their floor. Baskonia will be able to impose its rhythm and finally triumph critically in the fight for the top 8.
