Another basketball spectacle in Bar - Mornar-Barsko zlato host top-placed Crvena zvezda Meridianbet

2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 21, Sunday, 3 March 2024:

MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO - CRVENA ZVEZDA MERIDIANBET

Where? Topolica Sports Hall

When? 21:00

Story of the game: This Sunday evening brings us another basketball spectacle in Bar as Mornar-Barsko zlato are about to host last year’s vice-champions and current leaders in the 2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League championship Crvena zvezda Meridianbet.

For both sides every game is very important in the remaining 6 rounds. Mornar-Barsko zlato are still sitting at the bottom of the table, but now they have the same score as Krka, which means that the relegation battle will probably be very intense until the very last round. Mornar-Barsko zlato have significantly improved their form lately as they scored 3 wins in the last 5 games, while now they hope that they might grab their biggest win of the season so far.

On the other side, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet are all alone at the top of the table with 2 wins more than Budućnost VOLI and 3 wins more than Partizan Mozzart Bet and Cedevita Olimpija. The red-and-whites know very well that they are very close of securing the pole position ahead of the Playoffs, yet they still need a couple more wins to definitely book the 1^st place in the regular season. And the victory in Bar would make them one step closer to achieving that goal.

Match-up in focus: Mornar-Barsko zlato star player Marcus Weathers has been playing really good since joining the Bar troops and his reward came last month when he was named the MVP of February here in the AdmiralBet ABA League.

On the other side, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet sharpshooter Javonte Smart is slowly adapting to his new team and he is getting more and more minutes on court. In the previous round, he scored 15 points in the win against Zadar.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 2:16; In Bar 2:6.
