ABA League 21st round, Monday, 6.2.2017:
Where? Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb
When? 18:00
Story of the game: Perhaps a crucial night is coming up on Monday for Cibona and/or Budućnost VOLI in the battle for a playoffs spot and they know it.
While Budućnost VOLI are currently holding the last Playoffs spot in their hands with 14 wins so far, Cibona are chasing them from fifth place with three wins less at the moment. A new triumph would extend hope for Cibona, while for Budućnost VOLI it would nearly be the confirmation of their playoffs appearance.
The first time the two sides met this season, Budućnost were the ones to come out on top with a 95:79 win in Morača. Can Cibona bounce back?
Match-up in focus: Two Americans will be in focus as currently, Marcus Williams and Scottie Reynolds are the top names of their teams and – to make things exciting – both of them play at the point guard positions. Let’s see which one prevails this time!
Head to head in regional league: In total 13:14; In Zagreb 8:5.
