Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Monaco Odds
Maccabi Tel Aviv Team News
Maccabi plays quite variable this season and their results are solely dependent on their attacking performance. Although they have a huge defensive potential, they don’t pay much attention to defense at all. They play at a very fast pace and force the game in transition and a large number of three-point shots. They are at the very top of the EuroLeague in terms of points scored, while they have the second-worst defense in the league and concede 87.5 points on average.
They depend a lot on the duo of Brown and Baldwin, who are the driving force of the team and score 15 points each on average. Recently, Maccabi has been regularly scoring over 90 points and playing fast basketball. They depend a lot on Lorenzo Brown, who when he is in rhythm is totally unstoppable for opposing defenses, but there are also games when he cannot “buy” the basket.
In the last match of the Euroleague, they played an atypical match for them with a small number of points and defeated Zalgiris away from home. In that match, they played without one of their best players, Wade Baldwin IV, who had problems with his back box, but he is expected to play in the match against Monaco. Against Zalgiris, Josh Nebo dominated, scoring 22 points, while Blatt added 14 points and completely replaced Baldwin.
Monaco Team News
Monaco team is one of the most unpredictable teams in the league, and we are never sure how they will appear on the floor. This happens solely because they depend too much on the mood of Mike James, who when he is in the mood is unstoppable for opposing defenses, while there are days when he is not really up to the game and then causes more problems for his team than benefits.
Monaco is on the same score as Maccabi and shares the fifth position together. Therefore, this match will be very important for both teams to make an additional step towards the top of the table. Monaco will be further weakened in this match because they will not have Jordan Loyd in their lineup, who has major problems with a back injury. After a very heavy defeat in the last seconds of the match against Panathinaikos, they scored two important victories against Bayern away from home and against Barcelona at home, which we believe further boosted the confidence of the Monaco players.
James is one of the best players in the league, scoring an average of almost 20 points, while Diallo and Okobo get a lot of help, and make a huge contribution to the attack as well.

As a rule, Maccabi and Monaco already play very efficient games, and the hosts are much more successful. It was the same in the first match of this season, where Monaco defeated Maccabi by scoring 107 points. We believe that this match will be quite efficient and that both teams will be in an attacking mood.
