A key battle in the playoff race will see Partizan (13-16) attempt to stay in the top 10 by downing Baskonia (16-13), which is still in the hunt for a top-six finish.
Game Facts: Partizan vs. Baskonia
Baskonia is on a roll after winning four of its last five, but those were all at home and the Spanish team has won only one of its last six on the road. Similarly, Partizan has suffered on the road recently to slip down the standings, but has tasted victory in four of its last five games in Belgrade and knows a victory of 2 points or more would grant it the head-to-head advantage over Baskonia after an 84-83 win for the Spanish team in Vitoria. Chima Moneke led the way with 16 points, including the game-winning free throws. Aleksa Avramovic will try to maintain his magnificent form for Partizan, after scoring 30, 19 and 27 points in the last three games.
