Monaco grabbed an 80-91 win in Munich earlier this season behind 28 points from the inevitable Mike James (18.7 points per game), who is locked in a battle with Baskonia's Markus Howard (19 points per game) to finish the regular season as top scorer. Monaco, which has won all five previous meetings between the teams, will also look to the defensive talents of John Brown to make like difficult for Bayern, with his average of 1.2 steals leading a smothering Monaco defense that has forced more turnovers (13.5 per game) than any other team.
