Ah, what better way to spend an evening than watching a thrilling EuroLeague matchup? This time around, we have Partizan paying a visit to Monaco Basket. Now, this is no casual meet and greet - these teams have history. And if you're a betting kind of person, you might want to keep a special eye on this game.
Looking at previous matchups, let's remember that Monaco edged out a 79-74 victory last time they met Partizan. History doesn't necessarily dictate the future, but it's always worth keeping in mind. Especially when we consider recent records, with Partizan sitting at 13-12 while Monaco has a stronger standing at 16-9. Couple that with Partizan’s #10 positioning in the Euroleague versus Monaco Basket’s lofty perch at #3, and you start to see a trend forming.
Let's talk about Partizan’s heavy hitters. Sterling Brown has been a consistent scorer for Partizan averaging 18.0 points over the last month. Carlik Jones has shown a lot in terms of commanding the floor, averaging 14.8 points and 4.8 assists last month; while Tyrique Jones has been the man on the boards hauling down an impressive 6.8 rebounds per game of late.
Switching sides, for Monaco Basket, you've got Mike James, the man with the scoring touch, boasting a cool 17.8 points per game last month. And then there's Matthew Strazel, not a big guy on rebounds but he sure does his fair share when it comes to scoring and assisting with 13.0 points and 3.3 assists respectively. Adding more strength to the roster is Alpha Diallo, who has been a consistent contributor both in scoring and rebounding.
Given all these factors (and a few secret ones I'm not allowed to mention), here's what this crystal ball is showing...
