When? 19:00
Story of the game: In the match of the 19th round, Cedevita will be hosting Budućnost VOLI in Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb. It will be the clash of the first and third placed teams in the standings and hugely important win for both of them, that might have influence on the final standings at the top and the home court advantages in the Playoffs.
Budućnost VOLI have already mathematically secured themselves a spot in the ABA League Playoffs for this season, but they are currently sharing the first place with Crvena zvezda mts and a defeat might be tragical for their ambitions of finishing the regular season atop of the standings.
On the other side, Cedevita are still aiming towards the top and beating Budućnost VOLI would help them hugely in their ambition.
Both of the two sides have lost last game and in the last five of their games, Cedevita have won 3, while Budućnost VOLI have won 4.
Match up in focus: Looks like there will be a huge competition to become a top scorer at this game between Džanan Musa (14 points per game this season) and Nemanja Gordić (15.44 ppg). Who will be more prolific this time around?
Head to head in regional league: In total 12:10; In Zagreb 8:2.
