The home team has lost three of the last four games due to a struggling defense that has allowed an average of 85.3 points during that run. Fener, in contrast, is in fine form with three straight victories, with Wade Baldwin excelling since his return to fitness by averaging 13.3 points and 4.8 assists in the last four games. His battle with Monaco backcourt leader Mike James will be crucial, and another important duel will take place in the paint as Mam Jaiteh looks to repeat the double-double (12 points, 11 rebounds) he posted in last week’s loss at Maccabi, while recent signing Jilson Bango will look to continue growing in importance for the visitors.
