The 9th round of ABA League brings another big match to Belgrade. Partizan NIS will host Cedevita on Saturday evening…
ABA League 9th round, Saturday, 12.11.2016:
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, Belgrade
When? 21:00
Story of the game: The last two ABA League weeks were not so successful for Partizan NIS. The black & white crew suffered defeats against Budućnost VOLI and Crvena zvezda mts and slipped down to the 4th place on the standings. The team also stayed without Djordje Majstorović, who will be sidelined for one month, but the good news is that Novica Veličkovič should be ready for the upcoming match. And that match is very important for Partizan NIS when it comes to the Playoffs race, as their next opponent is right behind them on the standings…
Cedevita have passed through a tough period at the start of the season, but they are now playing some very good basketball. After all, they scored 5 wins out of the last 6 rounds in ABA League, so they are coming to Belgrade in a great rhythm. The Orange squad will do everything to stay on a winning streak and to finally reach the top 4 spots on the standings.
Match-up in focus: William Hatcher is without any doubt the most important player of Partizan NIS in the 2016/17 season. When he is in the right rhythm the whole team is playing much better, while it will be interesting to see his duel against Cedevita point guard Pierre Jackson, who is in incredible form. It is enough to write that Jackson scored 38 points in the last Eurocup game.
Head to head in regional league: In total 8:8; In Belgrade 7:1.
