Monaco vs Bourg: Analysis and Prediction –Monaco will host Bourg in the LNB Pro A play-off Game 1
Monaco vs Bourg Odds
Monaco Team News
After finishing first in the regular season, Monaco easily advanced to the semifinals of the LNB Pro A. In the first round of the playoffs, they defeated Le Portel without any problems, winning the second game by 31 points.
After being eliminated by Fenerbahce in the EuroLeague quarterfinals, Monaco had to focus on their obligations in the domestic league. So far, this season cannot be described as successful; they failed to replicate last season’s result in the EuroLeague. Additionally, they did not win either of the two Cups played in France. In the quarterfinal matches, Monaco played with a shortened rotation due to injuries, giving all players plenty of opportunities to prove themselves. Jordan Loyd was the top scorer and was particularly impressive in the second game, scoring 32 points. It seems that the absence of Mike James positively impacted the performance of the excellent guard. Throughout most of the season in the French league, Monaco has been defeating their opponents with outstanding defense and rebounding.
If they want to take a 1-0 lead in this series and gain an advantage, Monaco’s players must remain extremely focused for all 40 minutes. First and foremost, they must limit the visitors’ three-point shooting to below 35%, and they will also have a good opportunity to once again demonstrate their dominance in rebounding.
Bourg Team News
Bourg is in good form, although they secured their spot in the semifinals perhaps more difficultly than expected. In the first round, they defeated Nanterre 2-1, and now they have earned a series against the team that is the main favorite for the title.
In many ways, this is a historic season for Bourg, as they recorded 25 wins in the league, played in the EuroCup final, and regardless of how this series ends, it will be a successful season for Bourg. Just like their rivals in this match, Bourg has won most of their games with excellent defense, which has been functioning at a very high level for most of the season. Isiaha Mike was rewarded for his phenomenal season with a place in the league’s best five, and we believe he is likely to transfer to a stronger team than Bourg. Zacharie Rissacher is projected as one of the top picks in the upcoming NBA draft, and he is also sure to leave the team. What they need to reduce in this series is the number of turnovers. Throughout the season, they have had a high number of turnovers.
For Bourg to surprise the favored home team, they need to play one of their best games of the season. First and foremost, they must be patient and focused on offense to avoid giving the ball away to Monaco’s players. Rebounding is also of great importance, and they need to find a way to at least somewhat match Monaco, who is dominant in that aspect of the game.
