Fenerbahce Team News
The team led by Dimitris Itoudis caught the rhythm and after a series of somewhat unexpected defeats, they started a positive streak and won a couple of victories. After the heavy defeat they suffered in Kaunas, Fenerbahce defeated Panathinaikos and Bayern in the Euroleague, while they defeated Dacka and Bursaspor in the Turkish championship.
Against Panathinaikos, they were on the verge of defeat, but Guduric hit a three-pointer in the last seconds of the match and took the game to overtime, where the Fener players did better and won this match. Against Bayern, it looked much better and easier. Jonathan Motley dominated, scoring 22 points and 17 rebounds and becoming the MVP of the last round of the Euroleague. Fenerbahce has established dominance in rebounding, especially offensively, and it is one of their strongest weapons. The rhythm is captured by Wilbekin and Edwards, whose shooting depends a lot on Fener’s game.
In the first match between these two teams, Fenerbahçe won in Monaco by three points, although they had a double-digit lead throughout the match, Monaco came back and threatened Fener. Nigel Hayes was the most effective with 21 points, while Loyd added 18 points for Monaco.
Monaco Team News
Monaco and Fenerbahce are tied for second place with a score of 12-7, which is only one win less than first-placed Real Madrid. Away team has its problems, firstly because of injuries, but also because of Mike James, who we never know on which foot he will stand. In both games in Belgrade, first against Partizan and then against Crvena zvezda, we had the opportunity to see both faces of Mike James. Against Partizan, he looked disinterested, absent, and nervous and could not hit anything, while against Crvena zvezda, even though he was playing a “band-aid” defense, he hit absolutely everything. That is Monaco’s biggest problem, that they never know which Mike James is going on the field.
Jordan Loyd, who was absent for a couple of weeks due to an unpleasant injury, is expected to return in this match, and Monaco will get even more width in attack and closeout play in addition to James and Okobo. During the week, Monaco also brought in a big reinforcement from the NBA, the super-talented Moneke, who is blessed with athleticism and speed, and will greatly contribute to Monaco’s game, especially in the coast-to-coast game and the game in transition.
In the last match of the Euroleague, they were badly defeated by Crvena zvezda in Belgrade, and James scored 26 points. The reaction of the Monaco players is certainly expected to show themselves in the best possible light against Fenerbahce.

We expect a real derby in this match and the reaction of the Monaco team, so it would not surprise us if they win this match and get revenge on the Fenerbahce team. A handicap of 6.5 points is more than tempting.
