PARTIZAN NIS – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA
Where? Štark Arena, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: On Saturday night, Partizan NIS will be hosting Cedevita Olimpija at home in their Štark Arena in Belgrade.
A clash of two former AdmiralBet ABA League champions is coming up on Saturday night in the Štark Arena and it will be one, that will be of exceptional importance for both squads.
While Partizan NIS are currently occupying the top of the standings with a 9:1 record after 10 rounds, they will for sure wish to win this one to keep things that way, but Cedevita Olimpija will do their best to prevent them from doing so. After two defeats in a row, they need to win in order to keep themselves in the Playoffs zone, as they are entering the Round 11 with a 5:5 record.
The streaks of the two squads are completely different, heading into this showdown. While Partizan NIS have won 2 games in a row, Cedevita Olimpija have lost two in a row.
Will the streaks continue or end in Belgrade?
Match-up in focus: It will be an interesting match-up to watch the clash of Kevin Punter and Jacob Pullen in the shooting guard position. Both of them are well-known as players that can win games with their individual quality as sharp-shooters and it’s not impossible that one of them would step up in this game and take his team to the win with excellent scoring performance.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 2:2; In Belgrade 2:0.
