Monaco Team News
The previous summer, Monaco assembled the team so that they reached the Final Four of the Euroleague. They kept the team’s core built around Mike James, Donta Hall, Alpha Diallo, and Donatas Motiejunas and bolstered them with players like Jordan Loyd, Elie Okobo, John Brown, and Matthew Strazel.
The regular part of the season was completed by Monaco according to their wishes. They finished in fourth place with a score of 21-13, which gave them home field advantage in the playoffs. On their floor, they lost only to the best European teams (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Partizan, and Fenerbahce). Although they are the worst in three-point shooting percentage and in defense against the opponent’s shot outside the 6.75m line, they are extremely dominant on the offensive rebound and have the fewest turnovers per game.
The two segments just mentioned are perhaps the key to a good result against Maccabi. Not just in this matchup but in the entire series. If Monaco can control the rhythm and not lose the ball naively while dominating the offensive rebound, it will be a surprise if they are not in Kaunas in four weeks.
🏆Un retour festif jusqu'à Monaco 🥳

Maccabi Tel Aviv Team News
Maccabi is one of the biggest surprises in the Euroleague this season. Few saw them in the playoffs, and almost no one so high in the fifth position. They were the most dominant team in Europe at home with a fantastic 15-2, but they were also left without a solution away from home, where they won only five games.
The main strength of Maccabi is the fantastic tandem in the outer line consisting of Lorenzo Brown and Wade Baldwin. If we look at the statistical parameters, maybe both are in the top 5 of the best players this season. The rest of the roster is tailored to serve the mentioned duo. Bonzie Colson is a classic 3&D player, just like Darrun Hilliard. When they are in the mood to shoot from a distance, Maccabi gets additional weapons in the offense. Jarell Martin also has an important role, and Alex Poythress is back after a long absence.
Everyone in Maccabi is convinced that they will defeat Monaco both times in front of their fans, which means that to go to the Final Four, they must celebrate at least once on the road. They certainly have the quality for something like that, and the key will be how many bench players they can play and make them important in this match.

Monaco vs Maccabi Tel Aviv H2H
All four matches that Monaco and Maccabi played against each other in the last two seasons went to the home team, so the H2H is 2-2. When they met in the “Principality” almost two months ago, the score was 86:67 for James and the company.
Injuries and suspensions
Chima Moneke and Jordan Lloyd have missed the last couple of matches as a precaution but are expected to be in Monaco’s squad. Jalen Adams and Austin Hollins will certainly not play for Maccabi, while Lorenzo Brown and Bonzie Colson are listed as questionable, although it will be a surprise if we don’t see one on the court.
Monaco vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction
Looking at the last clash between these teams, many more important factors are on Monaco’s side. They are more dominant in the 1-on-1 game, have more quality defenders in the outer line who can slow down the best Maccabi players, and Donatas Motiejunas also dominates in the battle under the basket. If we add to that the experience gained in last season’s quarter-finals of the Euroleague and a couple of experienced players at Maccabi, it is clear why we expect the host to triumph.
