Story of the game: Mornar will host Split on Monday evening in Round 21 of the 2020/21 ABA League regular season, while the home team will play this game without their two top scorers.
According to the latest info that is coming from Bar, Mornar will not be able to count on Jacob Pullen and Isaiah Whitehead for this match as the two of them are still recovering from injuries. There is no doubt that Mornar will miss them a lot as Pullen and Whitehead are the two top scorers of this team in the ongoing season, but the good news for Mornar is that Justin Hamilton might be in the team roster on Monday evening.
Mornar need to win this match in order to make another step toward the Playoffs, but on the other side Split will also be fired up for this game as the visitors are trying to stay away from the 13th spot on the standings. Split played quite a good game against Crvena zvezda mts last weekend and despite the defeat they showed that they can play against the best teams in the league.
In the first part of the season, Mornar pulled off a stunning comeback to beat Split on the road – 95:87, despite being down by 14 points after the 1st quarter.
Match-up in focus: Nemanja Gordić (Mornar) vs. Roko Leni Ukić (Split).
In this game we will watch a duel between two very experienced point guards which are having a very good season. We all know that Gordić and Ukić are able to single-handedly change the flow of the game and guide their team toward the win, so their duel may actually decide the winner in the upcoming match.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 1:0; In Bar 0:0.
