CIBONA - IGOKEA

Where? Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb

When? 19:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the ABA League Round 11, Cibona will host Igokea at home in Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb.

The two sides are fighting for different positions in the standings right now, but both of them have a lot at stake. While Cibona are currently carrying 3 wins out of 10 games in their pockets right now, Igokea have won 7 out of 9 this season.

So it is clear, that Cibona need to win in order to establish themselves in the middle of the ABA League standings, while Igokea have a chance to continue their Playoffs battle in case of another win and they will not give up on the idea easily for sure.

When we take the recent shape of both sides into consideration, it is clear that Igokea might have a slight advantage in the eyes of the basketball fans, as they are on a 3 games long winning streak, while winning four of their last five games. On the other side, Cibona have lost their last game and won only one in their last five games.

However, in our beautiful game of basketball you can never rule out any upsets, so we definitely have an exciting game to watch ahead of us.

Match-up in focus: Two American point guards will be in the limelight this time. Cibona have recently been reinforced by Scottie Reynolds, who demonstrated his class right away, leading his team in assists (4), while scoring 13 points in his first game upon return to Zagreb. On the other side, Anthony Clemmons of Igokea will try to prove that he can stop him. He is the second-leading scorer for Igokea right now this season with an average of 10.1 points and 3.9 assists per game. Who will come out on top in this battle?

Head to head in the regional league: in total 8:10; In Zagreb 4:5.
