2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 17, Monday, 20 January 2025:
MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO - CRVENA ZVEZDA MERIDIANBET
Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar
When? 17:00
Story of the game: The last game of Round 17 will be played in Bar where Mornar-Barsko zlato will host Crvena zvezda Meridianbet.
Mornar-Barsko zlato are going through the worst AdmiralBet ABA League campaign in club’s history as the Bar troops have so far won just 1 out of 16 games in the season. They are all alone at the bottom of the table, but the next team in front of them is just 1 win away, so the Bar troops hope to, at least, reach that 15th position in the rest of the season.
On the other side, reigning champions Crvena zvezda Meridianbet are currently placed at the 3rd position with the overall score of 13-3. The Belgrade giants were on a 12-game winning streak before losing the last-round match against Dubai Basketball, so they will now be looking to get back on the winning path and continue their pursuit for the 1st place on the standings.
Match-up in focus: Mornar-Barsko zlato star player Branden Jenkins is currently the 4th best scorer of the season with 16.3 points per game, while it is worth mentioning that he scored 27 points against Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in the 1st part of the season.
Meanwhile, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet’s sharp shooter Isaiah Canaan has been impressive in the last couple of games, including the last week’s match against AS Monaco in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague when Canaan made 20 points to lead his team toward the overtime win.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 2:18; In Bar 2:7.
