BC Wolves vs Paris: Analysis and Prediction – BC Wolves will play at home against Paris in the EuroCup Round ten.
BC Wolves vs Paris Odds
BC Wolves Team News
Wolves have had a more than decent performance in the EuroCup so far, with four wins and four losses. In their last game, they were defeated at home by London Lions 87:101. In the Lithuanian League, they currently hold an impressive first place with only one loss and have a victory over Zalgiris.
The recent dip in EuroCup results can be attributed to a significant number of injuries. Despite these challenges, Wolves are fighting bravely, and whoever is on the court is giving their best. Tre’Shawn Thurman has become the primary offensive option since Rasheed Sulaimon’s absence. Djordje Gagic is performing well and Valdas Kariniauskas has carried his excellent form from the FIBA World Cup to the club level. Much praise is deserved for head coach Kestutis Kemzura, who has also coached the Lithuanian national team in the past.
To have a chance in this game with a shortened rotation, Wolves will need to play defensively above their capabilities. In a limited rotation, they lack enough offensive weapons for any kind of shooting contest with a team like Paris.
Paris Team News
Paris has been performing exceptionally well in the EuroCup this season, holding the top spot in their group with an 8-1 record. Their only loss came against Besiktas two weeks ago, and in the last round, they easily defeated Cedevita Olimpija at road by 77:93.
After the triumph in Ljubljana, it was expected that Paris would offer strong resistance to Monaco in the LNB Pro A, but that did not happen. The club’s goal is to be part of the EuroLeague in the near future, and the game in the “Principality” showed them how far they are from the top European clubs at this moment. TJ Shorts is in excellent form, and another key player for Paris is Nadir Hifi. They have an excellent system on both ends of the court, and with good reason, this group of players along with head coach Tuomas Iisalo has been producing outstanding results for two years, whether their base is in Germany or France.
Paris will try to impose their tempo here with a lot of running and early points in their offensive possessions. They will also be aggressive on defense to generate easy points in transition. Quality and experience are on their side, but they must be aware that they are playing against a team that knows what it wants on the court at all times.

BC Wolves vs Paris Prediction
Paris has shown in France how much better they are than Wolves, and there’s no reason they can’t repeat that performance in Lithuania. Especially in a situation where the opponent won’t have Sulaimon and Zagars, their two best players. Even with them in the roster, they couldn’t achieve anything in the French capital. After the loss to Monaco, Paris will be motivated to get back on the winning track with a comfortable win.
