RIGA (Interstat) — Holon will visit TTT Riga on Monday for a women’s professional basketball game, with the visitors carrying a 10-3 season record against TTT Riga’s 3-3 mark. Holon has won 10 of its first 13 games, while TTT Riga has split six contests and will look to use home court to steady its form.

Holon enters after a 65-57 home victory over Maccabi Karmiel. The result continued a productive stretch for Holon, which has won consistently while moving to the top portion of its early-season form. Ana Pocek is the player to watch for Holon. In her most recent appearance against Venezia, Pocek finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes, giving Holon an interior presence on both ends. Holon’s recent results include an 81-73 win at Maccabi Haifa and a 67-64 win at Reyer Venezia, along with a 79-64 home loss to Venezia. Holon has shown the ability to score efficiently and will look to control the pace against a TTT Riga side that has alternated strong offensive showings with defensive difficulties. The visitors have also shown they can win away from home, an encouraging sign before a Monday matchup in Riga.

TTT Riga most recently fell 91-72 at home to Reyer Venezia. Aubrey Griffin led TTT Riga in that game with 17 points, eight rebounds and two assists, while Enija Kivite added 10 points, six rebounds and four assists and Ieva Pulvere contributed 11 points, six rebounds and four assists. Griffin is TTT Riga’s player to watch. She has been the team’s most productive player in recent games, including a 22-point, eight-rebound, nine-assist effort at Cluj Napoca and a 27-point, eight-rebound, two-assist performance at Siauliai. Kivite and Pulvere gave TTT Riga additional support in the loss, and the hosts will need similar balance around Griffin. TTT Riga’s 111-48 win at RSU Merks showed its offensive potential, though the team will need a more consistent defensive effort against Holon.

TTT Riga will be the home team. The home crowd could be a factor. The matchup features contrasting records and recent form, with Holon seeking to build on its latest win and TTT Riga trying to bounce back from the loss to Venezia. Holon’s ability to generate scoring inside through Pocek and its recent road success could shape the contest, while TTT Riga will lean on Griffin’s all-around production to stay close.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Holon 71, TTT Riga 70. Holon has been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -6.5.
