8.16pm: It’s clearly Mike James’ game. The American is the big ex of the evening. One of the best players in the entire Euroleague and an extraordinary scorer, as he is traveling with over 18ppg.

20.12: There are three teams at the top of the standings with a 10-4 record and Monaco is among them. The French are having an exceptional season, although they lost the direct encounter in last week’s double fixture against Barcelona, ​​then won against Alba Berlin.

20.08: The situation in the standings of Milan is desperate. Olimpia have a 4-10 record, but all of their victories have come on the road, including two on the difficult Belgrade pitch. Just in the last round Milan defeated the Red Star with a splendid performance by Billy Baron, decisive in the final with a triple of +4.

20.03: The news of the last hour in Milan is the absence of Ettore Messina. The Sicilian coach will not be on the bench due to having contracted a flu syndrome. Mario Fioretti will coach in his place.

20.00: Good evening, let’s start the live coverage of Olimpia Milano-Monaco.

Good evening, and welcome to the LIVE LIVE of Olimpia Milano-Monaco, a match valid for the fifteenth day of the Euroleague 2022-2023. Messina’s team is still looking for the first home win of the season.

Milan ended the streak of nine consecutive defeats in Belgrade, managing to beat Red Star. A success that has restored some hope to Olimpia, even if the playoff mission seems almost impossible to achieve. Milan have never won at home and must try to win tonight with the French and next week with Valencia to give themselves any more chances.

It will be Mike James’ match, who returns to the Forum as an ex and driving force behind a Monaco who is flying this Euroleague season, being in second place with a 10-4 record and who in case of victory could even take the lead in the classification. Milan will therefore need a performance close to perfection.

The tap-off of Olimpia Milano-Monaco, match valid for the fifteenth day of the Euroleague 2022-2023is scheduled at 20.30. Have fun with the LIVE LIVE of OA Sport!
