Sunday's basketball schedule in ABA League will start quite early as Cedevita and Mega Leks will begin their match in 12:00.
ABA League 18th round, Sunday, 15.1.2017:
Where? Dom sportova, Zagreb
When? 12:00
Story of the game: The two teams are in totally different situation before the upcoming clash. At one side, Cedevita are fighting for the Playoffs' spot. The Orange crew are in excellent rhythm as they scored 4 wins out of the previous 5 rounds in ABA League. The goal is to continue with the good results, as Cedevita want to get in front of the 2nd placed Partizan NIS in order to have the home court advantage in the Playoffs.
On the other side, Mega Leks are one of the teams who are trying to avoid relegation. The boys from Sremska Mitrovica have only 1 win out of the past 5 rounds, but they are showing some signs of improvement. For example, in the last round they played an overtime against the reigning champions Crvena zvezda mts, so they hope they might be able to repeat that performance on Sunday in Zagreb.
Match-up in focus: Ryan Boatright of Cedevita is playing in incredible form. He is scoring 15+ points in almost every match and sometimes it looks like it is impossible to stop him. But, do not forget that Ognjen Jaramaz of Mega Leks is considered to be a very good defender, so he might be able to make things really difficult for Boatright.
Head to head in regional league: In total 5:2; In Zagreb 2:1.
