Game Facts: Monaco vs. Olympiacos

The Reds are on a three-game winning run and boast the league's third-best defense, allowing just 75.5 points per game. Monaco snapped a losing streak in dramatic fashion thanks to Jaron Blossomgame's game-winning putback dunk in Baskonia, where Mike James again excelled with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. November MVP candidate Alec Peters will test Monaco's perimeter defense after scoring at least two triples in each of his last four games, while the host also possesses plenty of long-range weapons including Alpha Diallo, who has made 43.3% of three-point attempts this season including 2 of 3 at Baskonia last week.
