AdmiralBet ABA League Round 11, Sunday, 18 December 2022:

MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO - BUDUĆNOST VOLI

Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar

When? 19:00

Story of the game: It’s time for the first big local derby between Mornar-Barsko zlato and Budućnost VOLI in the 2022/23 AdmiralBet ABA League season.

The two sides are approaching it in a pretty different mood. Mornar-Barsko zlato can't be satisfied with their recent results as they suffered 3 defeats in the last 4 rounds. Despite outstanding performances of their superstar point guard Daron Russell, the boys from Bar are struggling this season, but one big win might change the flow of the season for them. And that one big win would definitely be the one against their big rivals from Podgorica.

On the other side, Budućnost VOLI have scored 3 wins in the past 4 rounds and it is obvious that the blue-and-whites are slowing improving their form week by week. The Podgorica side will now try to keep up with good results and to write down another win against their local rivals.

Budućnost VOLI have won the previous 4 duels against Mornar-Barsko zlato in the regional league.

Match-up in focus: Mornar-Barsko zlato point guard Daron Russell has scored 30+ points in each of the previous 3 games in AdmiralBet ABA League. He seems almost unstoppable down on the court and it should be interesting to see whether Budućnost VOLI point guard and their season 2nd best scorer Trae Bell-Heynes can answer back and outscore Mornar-Barsko zlato superstar.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 3:11; In Bar 3:4.
