The final game of the season will determine the new French champion. Paris has the opportunity to defend the title they won last year, while Monaco is aiming to lift the championship trophy for only the third time in club history.

The final series has lived up to expectations so far, delivering high-quality basketball, plenty of intensity, and several exciting games. Monaco managed to protect its home court in Game 4 and force a decisive Game 5 with a 96–84 victory. Unlike the previous meetings, the outcome was practically decided very early. Monaco built a double-digit lead after the first quarter, and the margin grew to as many as 30 points by the start of the final period. Five Monaco players finished in double figures, with Matthew Strazel leading the way with 20 points and nine assists.

However, immediately after the game, Monaco received bad news. Strazel has been suspended for one game due to his ejection in Game 3 of the series and will not be available for the decisive matchup. His absence further shortens Monaco’s already limited rotation, meaning the burden will once again fall on the team’s more experienced players.

One player expected to take on a bigger role is Nemanja Nedović. The Serbian guard has not had his most impressive season, but as injuries have piled up during the playoffs, his role within the team has increased significantly. He is averaging 9.5 points per game in the finals and has scored 11 points in each of the last two contests. I expect him to once again be one of Monaco’s key offensive options tonight. Paris’ defense will almost certainly focus on Elie Okobo, who is expected to have the ball in his hands for much of the game, which could create more opportunities for Nedović to attack the basket, cut without the ball, and find easier scoring chances off the ball.
