Olimpia Milano - Buducnost (Norris Cole 15.5 pts) The American point guard and two-time NBA champion with Miami 2012 and 2013 signed with the Montenegro team just before Christmas and made sure to leave his mark on the team.
In his first game with the jersey of Budoucnonst, that of his previous Euroleague against Bayern, he was the MVP of the race by placing 27 points with fantastic 89% accuracy in both (11 / 14) and 100% from the line of shots (5 / 5) and was the main reason why the team's productivity went up significantly and managed for 1 once to compete in an off-game game, even before 17 points before it collapsed in the finale.
It followed the very demanding game against the Red Star in Belgrade for the Andrian League, with Norris Cole taking the team back to scoring by putting 16 points against a very tough defense like the Red one, again being super lucky with 86% (6 / 7) in 26 minutes.
Bayern and Red Star are much better defensive teams than tonight's opponent of Budoucnostos Milan, which will hardly manage to limit Norris Cole, who is expected to take back most of the aggressive efforts for the team and can score many points again. Besides, this is why he is paid for this and he came to the group to take initiatives and raise it aggressively.
Norris Cole has an average of 21,5 points in his first two games with the team, surpassing the limit offered by what I expect to do against Milton's defensive defense. Very interesting will be his crackdown on Mike James who does not play defense and the two of them will try to impose on each other in the offensive track.
Norris Cole can approach 20 points again tonight and his Over 15.5 pts at 1,87 of Stoiximan, will be my choice.
