2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 9, Saturday, 18.11.2017:
PARTIZAN NIS – PETROL OLIMPIJA
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Big game is coming up in Belgrade. Partizan NIS are set to host Petrol Olimpija which will be a clash of two true ABA League powerhouses and former regional league champions.
Both the black and white and the green and white have celebrated victories in their last two games in the ABA League and are looking to build on them in order to start new winning streaks. However, they will also have an opportunity to stand up after their European defeats during the week in EuroCup and Basketball Champions League, respectively.
With a new triumph, Partizan NIS would protect their place in the top four in the standings, while Petrol Olimpija would definitely exit the danger zone for the moment in case they would win in on Saturday.
Match-up in focus: Experienced big man Novica Veličković is the one that a lot will be expected from, as he will be the one that will need to deal with red hot Petrol Olimpija power forward Jordan Morgan. Who will be the one to thrill the fans more this time?
Head to head in regional league: In total 18:8; In Belgrade 12:1.
