Monaco Team News
On Tuesday night, Monaco played the weakest game in front of their fans in the Euroleague this season and deservedly lost to Maccabi. Now they face an uphill battle to qualify for the Final Four.
The main reason for Monaco’s defeat was the disastrous three-point shooting. Statistically, the “Princes” have the weakest percentages in the entire competition, and Maccabi fully exploited that. They made only four shots from 26 attempts, and that’s no way to beat an opponent like Maccabi. Coach Sasa Obradovic will have to find a way to adapt and try to make even more use of the game at the low post, where Monaco has an advantage through Donatas Motiejunas. Jordan Loyd played a horrible match, and it often seemed that only Mike James was leading the offense, even though he also missed four free throws, for example.
Defensively, Monaco did a more than solid job, which means that the recipe for victory in game number two is to fix the offense. Maccabi forced them to make some unreasonable shots, and they will have to pay attention to that in this clash.

Maccabi Tel Aviv Team News
In “Principality,” Maccabi did what he came for. They made a break, and at worst, they will have a chance to finish the job in front of their fans in Tel Aviv. However, they know that a victory in game number two would de facto also mean a trip to the Final Four because it is unthinkable for them to lose twice at home.
Wade Baldwin expectedly took advantage of the given minutes, but Lorenzo Brown found a way to deliver. Monaco rotated a lot of guards on him in the previous game, but the Spanish representative remained calm. Bonzie Colson played an essential role at the beginning of the game, and Darrun Hilliard came up with several vital shots from a distance. Alex Poythress was out of action for several months and played in this match.
Undoubtedly, a different Monaco will welcome Maccabi on Thursday night. Guests should be ready for even greater intensity on both sides of the floor. The “pride of Israel” will now be thoroughly relieved; perhaps this can play a crucial role.

Monaco vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction
It is hard to imagine Monaco having two consecutive disastrous shooting nights. They have experience from last year and will surely be better prepared this time. We expect them to travel to Tel Aviv with at least one victory because otherwise, they will not have any real chances of qualifying for the Final Four.
