AdmiralBet ABA League Round 24, Friday, 31 March 2023:

MZT SKOPJE AERODROM – ZADAR

Where? Jane Sandanski Arena, Skopje

When? 20:00

Story of the game: On Friday night, MZT Skopje Aerodrom will be hosting Zadar at home in their Jane Sandanski Arena in Skopje.

It is a clash of two squads, that have an imperative of winning upon them in order to be able to count on achieving their goals in the Regular Season. While Zadar are currently on a 10:13 record, just one win above the edge of the Playoffs Zone, on the other side MZT Skopje Aerodrom are occupying the last place in the standings with 4:19 record, 2 wins below the next competitors.

While none of the two sides have been shining lately in the AdmiralBet ABA League – MZT Skopje Aerodrom have lost last 3 games and won 1 of their last 5 and Zadar have lost their last 2, while also winning only 1 of their last 5 games – it will be a lovely chance for each of the two squads to stand up after negative streaks and get on the right track before the crucial three rounds of the season.

Who will prevail? Tune in on Friday night and find out!

Match-up in focus: What might perhaps be the most interesting match-up of the clash is the battle between Keandre Cook of MZT Skopje Aerodrom and Luka Božić of Zadar. With Božić dominating the court wherever he had appeared this season and leading Zadar in both scoring, rebounding and passing with an average of 22.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, it will be a challenge for Cook to try and stop him. Cook is currently the third-leading scorer and rebounder of MZT Skopje Aerodrom, averaging 12.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. Can he match Božić this time and help his team achieve a valuable win?

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 5:8; In Skopje 4:2.
