Mega’s kids defending home court against the Dragons

2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Quarterfinals Round 1, Monday, 15 April 2024:

MEGA MIS - CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA

Where? Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, Belgrade

When? 20:00

Story of the game: Mega MIS will face Cedevita Olimpija in the quarter-finals of the 2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Playoffs and the Pink troops will have home-court advantage in this series.

Mega MIS had a fantastic ending of the regular season as they scored 7 consecutive wins to move up all the way to the 4^th spot on the standings. That stunning winning streak have brought them a home-court advantage in the quarter-finals and the Pink troops will try to use it to advance to the next round. 

The youngest team in the league will start their mission of defending the home court this Monday evening when they will host Cedevita Olimpija in Game 1 of the quarter-finals.

On the other side, Cedevita Olimpija scored just 2 wins out of the last 6 rounds in the regular season and therefore lost the 4^th spot on the standings. The Dragons will therefore have to start their Playoffs journey on the road and they will have to score at least one away win in order to win this best-of-3 series.

In the ongoing season, Mega MIS and Cedevita Olimpija faced each other twice in the regular season and in each game the home side triumphed.

Match-up in focus: Nikola Đurišić (Mega MIS) vs. Jaka Blažič (Cedevita Olimpija).

Đurišić is definitely one of the best young players in the league, while his latest form is truly incredible as he averaged 20.3 points during Mega's 7-win run late in the regular season.

Meanwhile, Blažič has had another impressive season as he was the 8^th best scorer of the 2023/24 regular season with 16.9 points per game.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 2:8; At Mega MIS home court 2:3.
