Quite the matchup we have on deck today, folks, as Fenerbahçe takes a business trip to Monaco Basket's court. Now hold on to your hats as we dive into the stats.
Fenerbahçe's got some players who could wrinkle the mesh; you have Tarik Biberović who's been sending the ball through the hoop like it's a homing pigeon, averaging 18.7 points last month. Joining him is Nigel Hayes-Davis, another distinguished member of the 'no rim weeping' club during the last month with 13.7 points.
However, Monaco Basket isn't just going to roll over and play dead. We've got Mike James racking up 16.7 points last month and Georgios Papagiannis who's not only mastered the alphabet with that name, but also dumped an average of 17 points in games last month, which is amazing, provided you're not one of the guys trying to defend him.
Now, if we glance over to past encounters between these heavyweights, Monaco Basket seems to have a slight edge, having seized more than a few victories, but it's a slim margin, they can't exactly brag about it at parties.
And Fenerbahçe has been showing more muscle during regular season games, racking up more victories overall than Monaco.
But when we look at recent results, both teams have been landing punches and taking a few – it's like a boxing match without the cool robes and punching glove hamburgers.
When Fenerbahçe steps onto Monaco's turf, whichever way it falls, it's sure going to be one heck of a showdown.
