ABA League Round 17, Monday, 28.1.2019:
Where? Sports Center Topolica, Bar
When? 18:00
Story of the game: Only 5 ABA League teams have managed to win the last 3 home games in the league. Those are the Top 4 teams - Crvena zvezda mts, Cedevita, Budućnost VOLI and Partizan NIS, while the last one is... Mornar! The squad from Bar have made a real fortress out of their gym in the past couple of weeks and they want to keep it intact in the rest of the regular season.
This Monday, Mornar will have to defend their home court against Cibona, who are not real the best away team in the league. The Zagreb troops have scored just 2 road wins in the championship so far, but they did win their last game in Bar, which was played in the previous ABA League season.
No need to mention that both teams will be additionally motivated to win this game, as neither of them has fully escaped the danger zone yet.
Match-up in focus: Antabia Waller (Mornar) vs. Igor Marić (Cibona). They are the best 3-point shooters of each team. Waller has made 38 three-pointers (2.5 per game) so far in the season, while Marić has scored 32 (2 per game) in the same period. Now, they will face each other in a direct duel.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 2:3; In Bar 1:1.
