The round concludes with another crunch clash between direct rivals as Barcelona (15-13) welcomes Partizan (15-13) to break their current tie for eighth place.
Game Facts: Barcelona vs. Partizan



Barca roared back to winning ways last week with a strong fourth quarter at ALBA, where Tomas Satoransky again showed he is the Blaugrana's backcourt leader by dishing a career-high 12 assists. His defense will also be important against Partizan playmaker Carlik Jones, who again shone with 17 points in defeat at Olympiacos last time out. In the paint, former Barcelona big man Brandon Davies has averaged 12.3 points and 5.0 rebounds in the last three games and will attempt to exploit the ongoing absence of Jan Vesely to give his team control of the frontcourt. But Chimezie Metu is in great form with double-digit scoring in seven consecutive games, and he will also be a major factor in this playoff-flavored battle.
