Monaco is heading into a hostile territory this Tuesday evening. For what is shaping up to be the most important match of their season, the play-in game, the Roca Team could hardly have anticipated a more perilous away trip. Facing Panathinaïkos, the Monegasque team will confront the loudest crowd in the Euroleague, a distinction that was recognized prior to their game against Anadolu Efes last Friday.
The task will be even more arduous for the players from the Principality as they are also dealing with a significantly depleted roster. In addition to Terry Tarpey and Nemanja Nedovic, Nikola Mirotic recently sustained an injury. Meanwhile, the Greek team boasts a complete squad, able to count on key players like Mathias Lessort, Nigel Hayes-Davis, and Kendrick Nunn. The winner of this match will advance to face Valencia in the first round of the playoffs.
