Story of the game: In the final game of Round 8, SC Derby will host Mornar-Barsko zlato in Morača Sports Hall.
SC Derby has had some ups and downs since the start of the season, while their overall score of 3-4 puts them just outside the Playoffs zone at the moment. Last weekend, the Students lost a thrilling home game against Dubai BC, so this Monday evening they will try to bounce back and get back to the winning path.
On the other side, Mornar-Barsko zlato scored their very first win of the season last weekend, however they are currently still all alone at the bottom of the standings with the overall score of 1-6. Still, Mornar-Barsko zlato have recently upgraded their team roster by signing Noah Thomasson and Chico Carter Jr, so with those two new guys in the roster and with the confidence they gained last week, the Bar troops will try to seize another win that would finally get them moving up on the standings.
Match-up in focus: The duel between Erick Neal (SC Derby) and Branden Jenkins (Mornar-Barsko zlato) is definitely something we are very eager to watch as these two players are currently among the top 5 scorers of the season.
Jenkins is the top scorer of the 2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League season at the moment with 19 points per game, while Neal is holding the 4th spot on this list with 16.4 points per game.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 4:2; In Podgorica 2:1.
