Adam Williams presents his prediction for the EuroLeague match.
Paris Basketball are having one of the best debut seasons in EuroLeague history. After securing another win in the last round, marking their eighth consecutive victory, the French side have claimed the top spot on the table. Can Maccabi Tel Aviv find a way to halt this audacious newcomer?
Maccabi Tel Aviv
In their previous outing, Maccabi Tel Aviv convincingly defeated ALBA Berlin (103:85). Rokas Jokubaitis stood out in that encounter, delivering 24 points and 6 assists. On average this season, the Israeli side have been vibrant in attack, putting up 84 points per game. However, their defence leaves much to be desired, as evidenced by Olimpia Milano, Olympiacos, and Panathinaikos all surpassing 90 points against them with ease.
Paris Basketball
The visitors' strongest asset is their offence, currently ranked as the sixth most productive, averaging 85.2 points per match. Their leader, TJ Shorts, is among the tournament's top scorers with an average of 18.2 points. Furthermore, the French team play confidently on defence, even restricting Barcelona and Anadolu Efes from scoring more than 87 points.
Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Paris Basketball Prediction
The key factor in this matchup will be defensive play, where the visitors clearly have the upper hand. Consequently, we believe Paris Basketball have every chance to extend their winning streak.
