High-flying Monaco (19-10) is aiming to make it nine consecutive victories with a visit from inconsistent but still fighting Milan (12-17).
Game Facts: Monaco vs. Milan
November's meeting between the teams was a low-scoring affair, taken 66-72 by the Roca team thanks to 21 points from usual suspect Mike James, who will again look to shine against his former club after scoring at least 16 points in seven straight games. James is receiving plenty of help right now from Elie Okobo, who has averaged 17.5 points and 5 assists in the last two games. Milan has failed to win away from home since December, mostly due to a misfiring offense that hasn't surpassed 77 points during a six-game road losing run, but can count upon fit-again Nikola Mirotic to deliver the goods after averaging 21 points in the last three games.
