Slask Wroclaw hosts Partizan NIS Belgrade in Round 16. It will be Partizan's first visit to Wroclaw since 2003.
Keys to victory: Slask vs. Partizan



Slask needs to find Dziewa, Kanter
Slask is 3-0 when allowing 71 points or less and 0-11 when allowing more than 71 points. It ranks 19th in two-point shooting percentage (46.6%), so getting its big men involved around the baskets should improve those numbers. Aleksander Dziewa and Kerem Kanter have stepped up lately. Dziewa has averaged 23.0 points and a PIR of 27.5 in the last two games, and Kanter is the competition's leading rebounder at 8.9 per night. Slask should be smart in double-team situations to find better one-on-one opportunities for Travis Trice and Ivan Ramljak.

Partizan wants to bounce back on the road
Partizan is on a four-game road losing streak, allowing 92.8 points in that span. In its last four home games, Partizan has allowed just 71.0 points. Coach Zeljko Obradovic's team needs to protect its paint better in road games, as it is allowing opponents to make 57.0% of their two-point shots, compared to 49.3% at home. Partizan should use its size advantage in the paint, too. Mathias Lessort and Balsa Koprivica face the challenge of stopping Kanter and Dziewa. Not allowing Travis Trice to control the game tempo could be a key for the visitors, too.
