Monaco, which is missing the injured Furkan Korkmaz, as well as Nick Calathes, will look for backcourt supremacy through Elie Okobo, who started the season well at both ends of the floor with 14 points, 4 assists and 3 steals in the opening round win over EA7 Emporio Armani Milan. That game also featured a strong performance from big man Mam Jaiteh with 10 points and 7 boards, who faces a big battle with Jasiel Rivero after Maccabi’s center had 11 points and 9 boards to help defeat LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne. In the backcourt, Round 1 MVP Tamir Blatt will look to stay hot and Jordan Loyd will be motivated by facing his former teammates.
