ABA League Round 21, Sunday, 4.3.2018:
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Partizan NIS are out of the race to reach the Playoffs of the ABA League season, but this does not mean that their game against Budućnost VOLI of Podgorica would be of any less importance than the previous ones. The games in Aleksandar Nikolić Arena, against other powerhouses of the region are always a big deal, when the black and white are hosts!
While Partizan NIS will be fighting to protect their fifth place in the standings until the end of the season, Budućnost VOLI still have their ultimate goal in mind – to claim the top after 22 rounds.
It is difficult to say which of them would be the more fortunate ones, as their shape before the break was similar – both of them have won 3 of their last 5 games and… both of them have won their domestic cup competition trophies in the meantime. The time spent in the stands of Belgrade’s temple of basketball will for sure be a blast for all of the attending fans!
Match-up in focus: The focus of all of the basketball fans will this time be on a clash of two fantastic combo guards, as Nigel Williams-Goss will try to prove that he is better than Nemanja Gordić! Both of them are currently the top scorers and top passers of their teams – who will shine brighter this time?
Head to head in regional league: In total 17:9; In Belgrade 10:3.
