In an all-Obradovic coaching battle, Monaco (13-10) will look to maintain its hot streak with a visit from direct rival Partizan (12-11).
Game Notes: Monaco vs. Partizan



Monaco, which has won two straight, needs a victory of 5 points or more to claim the head-to-head advantage after Partizan took their first meeting 89-85. That game featured 25 points from Kevin Punter and 7 assists from P.J. Dozier, who underlined his growing role in Partizan’s backcourt by netting 23 points on 10-of-12 field goal shooting in last week’s win over Zalgiris. Monaco’s narrow win at Efes last week proved there’s more to the backcourt than just league-leading scorer Mike James, as Elie Okobo (16 points) and Jordan Loyd (14) both stepped up.
