ABA League 20th round, Saturday, 28.1.2017:
Where? S.C. Morača, Podgorica
When? 19:00
Story of the game: The fans of both teams have been talking about this game for the whole week. Because this is not just about prestige, this match may decide who will have a home court advantage in the ABA League semifinals!
Budućnost VOLI currently have 2 wins less than Partizan NIS, but they triumphed in their previous clash in Belgrade, which means that if the Blue squad win on Saturday they will certainly have better head to head score against Partizan NIS.
And that might be very important at the end of the Regular Season.
On the other side, the black & white crew from Belgrade know very well that they can make a major step forward in the Regular Season race if they prevail in Podgorica. It is the court where the visitors always have a lot of difficulties to achieve victory, but Partizan NIS have been successful at this place many times in the past.
Match-up in focus: Marcus Williams (Budućnost VOLI) vs. William Hatcher (Partizan NIS). It was Williams who was the hero of that win which Budućnost VOLI achieved in Belgrade in the first part of the season and he will once again try to lead his team into victory. On the other side, Will Hatcher is the main offensive power of Partizan NIS and if he has a good shooting night his team can beat anyone.
Head to head in regional league: In total 7:17, In Podgorica 4:7.
