Cholet vs Paris Odds
Cholet Team News
Cholet finished the regular season in seventh place, which they achieved with a couple of wins in the last two rounds. What is very interesting is that they recorded eight wins and nine losses at home. In the first game of this series, Cholet managed to surprise Paris and break their winning streak.
They have shown that they can play against Paris even about twenty days ago when they lost to them after overtime, although they had a 20-point lead midway through the third quarter. Fortunately for them, they did not repeat the same mistake this time, but instead, they maintained the lead from the very start and a 7:0 advantage until the end of the game. Cholet played a phenomenal offensive game and completely dismantled Paris’ defense, which was the second-best defense in the entire league. They managed to hit three-pointers with 37% success, while Paris held their rivals to around 30% during the season. Vojtech Hruban and Neal Sako have been key players throughout most of the season, and their good performances are not surprising. The young Tidjane Saluma has shown during the season that he can be an important factor in their game. The biggest surprise, we believe even for the Paris players, was the experienced Kim Tillie, who scored 16 points in less than 14 minutes.
For most of the season, Cholet struggled with rebounds, while Paris is one of the best teams in the league in that parameter. However, in the first game, Cholet out-rebounded Paris, and if they repeat similar numbers in the second game, a victory could come.
Paris Team News
Paris was a team on an incredible winning streak, with their last loss before the first game against Cholet occurring in January. They finished the regular season in LNB Pro A in second place, but that didn’t help them in the first game against Cholet, who completely outplayed them.
This season has been more than successful for them so far, as they have won two trophies, the more significant being the EuroCup, which guarantees them a place in the EuroLeague next season. It seemed that Paris might be able to challenge Monaco for the domestic league trophy, but now everything is at stake since they suffered a loss on their home court. In the game a few days ago, two important aspects completely failed, even though both defense and rebounding were extremely strong weapons for the Paris team throughout the season. For most of the season, T.J. Shorts and Nadir Hifi have been the key players for Paris, with much of the game starting from them. While Shorts had a somewhat decent performance, Hifi completely failed, shooting 0/8 from the field. The extent of their poor defense is evident from the fact that they allowed their rivals to make 27 assists.
Paris is undoubtedly a better team than Cholet, but Cholet has shown that they know how to threaten the favored team. We believe that T.J. Shorts will take even more responsibility and lead the team to victory, but to achieve that, they must dominate in rebounding.
