Monaco is heading into a hostile environment this Tuesday evening. For what appears to be their most critical game of the season, the play-in match, the Roca Team could hardly have anticipated a more perilous away fixture. Facing Panathinaikos, the Monegasque team will be up against the loudest crowd in the Euroleague, a reputation they have earned well before their match against Anadolu Efes last Friday.
The task will be even more arduous for the players from the Principality as they are also contending with a full infirmary. In addition to Terry Tarpey and Nemanja Nedovic, Nikola Mirotic recently sustained an injury. Meanwhile, the Greeks boast a complete roster and will be able to count on key players like Mathias Lessort, Nigel Hayes-Davis, and Kendrick Nunn. The winner of this game will go on to face Valencia in the first round of the playoffs.
