When they join the game, the important players for AS Monaco, such as Mike James and Elie Okobo, will be in fantastic shape. Mam Jaiteh anchors the paint, while James continues to be one of the best scorers and playmakers in the league. In the absence of Calathes, Monaco will rely significantly on James and Okobo to provide offense. Monaco’s strong scoring (87.5 points per game) and low turnover rate make it tough to stop them.
Paris targets TJ Shorts, who is ranked high in scoring and assists. Paris’s offensive rebounding strength and Shorts’s firepower might keep the game tight, despite the fact that Maodo Lo and Daulton Hommes are also under a cloud of doubt. Although Paris has been very successful in reducing turnovers, they still need Yakuba Ouattara to improve his shooting to compete with Monaco’s defense.
Monaco’s offensive and Paris’s quick transition game are expected to lead the charge in this fast-paced and high-scoring game.
Prediction: The overall number of points wagered in the first half will exceed 82.5.
