Basketball is a very important thing in Novo mesto and the local people can hardly wait for Saturday evening to watch another big match in their town. It's Krka vs. Partizan NIS.
ABA League 12th round, Saturday, 3.12.2016:
Where? ŠD Leona Štuklja, Novo Mesto
When? 19:00
Story of the game: There is no doubt that the match against Partizan NIS is the topic No. 1 in Novo mesto these days, however the hosts have a lot of worries before this duel. Simply because Krka have plenty of injury problems. Darko Jukic is still sidelined, while according to the latest info Marko Luković will also have to miss this match due to injury. On top of that Ronald Curry and Jure Ritlop are questionable for the Saturday's game. Still, despite all the troubles, Krka will do everything to get back on the winning path after suffering two consecutive defeats in ABA League.
On the other side, Partizan NIS have scored two wins in a row in ABA League, but they suffered a pretty painful defeat in the Basketball Champions League during the past week. It definitely broke some spirits inside the squad, however the black & white crew are determined to bounce back by extending their winning streak in the regional competition. Partizan NIS will not be able to count on Djordje Majstorović due to player's injury.
Match-up in focus: Matic Rebec vs. William hatcher. Expect a real basketball shootout in Novo mesto, as both Rebec and Hatcher are excellent 3pts shooters. Rebec is the 3rd top scorer in Krka, while Hatcher is far the best scorer in Partizan NIS in this season...
Head to head in regional league: In total 3:11; In Novo mesto: 1:6.
