Monaco Team News
Monaco is in slightly worse form lately, and in the last round of the Euroleague, they suffered a heavy defeat in the OAKA arena against Panathinaikos, who beat them with a 25-point difference and limited them to only 66 points. Monaco is a team that is very difficult to analyze and predict because they depend a lot on the mood and motivation of one player, which is Mike James. When James is in a good rhythm, he looks unstoppable, and the players of Baskonia felt this best on their skin, he delivered 26 points added 7 assists, and led his team to victory. However, James also has his minus phases, when he enters a total counter rhythm. He had a tough night against Panathinaikos, scoring only 11 points, and shooting 4/15 from the field.
The problem for Monaco was the non-play of Okobo, who was suspended by the club for indiscipline and missed the last three matches. However, the club decided to return him to the squad and he will be available to coach Obradovic for this match. Along with James, Okobo is the team’s most consistent player and his presence on the court brings additional width in the back positions. We believe that Monaco will try to make the most of Tavares not playing in the ranks of Real, and with a mobile small-ball five, speed up the rhythm of the game and open up as many good positions as possible for James.
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid has not been playing well in the last couple of games, although this is not reflected in the results, and Real wins regardless of the team they play in. Against Anadolu Efes and Valencia, Real won after extra time, and they once again showed their champion character that they find solutions even in hopeless situations and achieve victories.
In this match, they will play without one of their best players, Edy Tavares, who was injured and will be out for a couple of weeks. But for Real, Yabusele returned as well as Gabi Deck, who had major problems with injuries at the start of the season. In the last match of the Endesa League, Real played by far the worst match of this season, and as guests, they were defeated by Murcia, who limited them to only 61 points! In that match, in addition to the already mentioned Tavares, Real did not include Musa or Poirier, who were resting due to minor injuries. However, in the match against Monaco, we expect them in the lineup.
Campazzo is the engine of the Real team in both directions, and we expect that in this match against Monaco, he will be a key player in the defense of Mike James and that Hezonja, Musa, and company will make a difference in the attack.
