Our Milano vs Paris prediction is for the underdogs to pull off the upset. Paris enters this game expected to drop to 0-2 to start out their EuroLeague era, but they will be a tougher out for Milano than many believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milano was smothered by Monaco in their opener, losing 93-80. While the offense played well, the defense was invisible. They gave up the 2nd-most points of any team in Week 1, despite being expected to have a relatively strong defense. Milano will aim to put that result behind them and bounce back in a winnable Week 2 matchup. They shot 55.6% from deep in last week’s loss. Doing that again would all but guarantee the victory over Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paris played one of the most competitive games in their first EuroLeague bout, but ultimately lost. The biggest thing hampering them was poor shooting. Paris shot 41.5% from the field in the defeat and an abysmal 26.1% from deep. Those numbers pale in comparison to Milano from Week 1 and are an area that absolutely needs to be worked on this week. On the other hand, their narrow defeat came down to the wire thanks to their defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milano enters this game as the favorite at home. They typically finish around the middle of the pack, but may have trouble sizing up a Paris team that is new to the league. Expect both teams to shoot closer to the league average this week, with Paris posting a stronger offensive performance and Milano fading a bit. Ultimately, this game should come down to the wire. We like Paris’ chances of pulling off the upset here.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our Milano vs Paris prediction is for the underdogs to pull off the upset.
