Monaco are rolling with three wins on the bounce. Panathinaikos have gone 7-9 on the road this season and slipped up last week. We can’t look past the home team given that this is such a small spread, particularly with how Panathinaikos have been unable to get stops.
The hosts are 11-5 straight-up at Salle Gaston Medecin. They have emphatically covered this number against Fenerbahce, Paris, and Zalgiris since the start of March.

Monaco News, Injury Report, Schedule: Recent Big Wins
Wins over Le Portel, Olympiacos, and Zalgiris have got Monaco back on track after losing three out of four games earlier this month. The win against Olympiacos last week carried particular significance given how well the Greek team have been playing so far this season, and that Monaco are now one win away from securing a top-three finish.
Mike James and Daniel Theis have been vital players for Monaco in recent weeks. The former took a while to find his feet in the EuroLeague, but he’s been effective as a scorer and playmaker of late. Theis – signed midway through the season – is influential at both ends.
Monaco’s success this season has been driven by elite defensive play and taking good care of the ball with the second-lowest turnover rate in the EuroLeague.
Panathinaikos News, Injury Report, Schedule: One-Way Dominance
Kendrick Nunn powers a Panathinaikos offence which has the second-best rating in the EuroLeague. Lorenzo Brown and Cedi Osman have been providing good production on that end, too. Their defence has been a problem all year, though, as was clear in the loss to Paris last week.
Despite being an above average team on the glass, Panathinaikos have leaked points all too often. They rarely force turnovers.
A lack of size has been a problem in recent weeks due to injuries, but they have crucially had some big men get healthy for the last couple of games. Mathias Lessort, Marius Grigonis, and Ioannis Papapetrou are all sidelined for this one, however.
Monaco vs Panathinaikos H2H: Monaco Have the Edge
Monaco have won five out of seven games against Panathinaikos, including a three-point win in Greece earlier this season. Panathinaikos did the double over Monaco in the 2023/24 regular season, however.
