EuroLeague: Monaco vs Baskonia 13/02/2026

Monaco, under strong pressure to deliver a result, host a relaxed Baskonia side whose offense has been operating at a high level lately, suggesting an open and high-scoring game.

Betting on Team Points

Monaco are facing a serious crisis within the club. Due to financial issues, the players have not been paid for nearly two months, which has directly impacted the team’s performances, as they have lost their last five EuroLeague games. Because of that negative run, they have slipped to 10th place in the standings, with their most recent defeat coming in Munich against Bayern, 91–82. Over the weekend, there were even doubts about whether their French league match against Chalon would be played due to a potential players’ strike, but the game ultimately went ahead and Monaco managed to secure a very important win.

On the other hand, Baskonia have long since lost their chances of competing for a top spot in the standings. Although they are clearly playing much better compared to the start of the season, when they had an extremely poor run, it is still not enough for a serious push up the table. They currently sit in 16th place with a record of nine wins and 18 losses, and in the last two rounds they were defeated by Barcelona and Milan.

Competitive Monaco are under real pressure, as even a top 10 finish is now in jeopardy. At this moment, they seem closer to a complete breakdown than to a sudden rise in form, especially considering they will be playing with only one center in the rotation due to Kevarrius Hayes’ injury. That is precisely where I see Baskonia’s opportunity, as they will arrive for this away game completely relaxed and without any results-driven pressure. It is true that they are not in great form either, having lost four of their last five EuroLeague matches, but it is also a fact that their offense has been operating at a very high level lately — scoring 102, 109, and 91 points against Zalgiris, Milan, and Barcelona respectively. I see no reason why their offense would not function well again in this matchup against a visibly unsettled opponent.
