Revisitalized Valencia (8-6) is gunning for a fourth straight victory but it won't be easy against visiting Partizan (8-6), which has surged into a share of fourth place – alongside Valencia, among others – by winning four in a row.
Game Notes: Valencia vs. Partizan

Valencia exhibited outstanding defense to claim a 56-63 victory at Olympiacos last week and now needs to do the same against prolific Partizan, which boasts the league's second-best offense with 87.6 points per game. The Serbian team has been boosted by the return of Kevin Punter, who is averaging 22 points and 3.3 triples in the last three games. Valencia has also welcomed back a key backcourt figure, with Martin Hermannsson making his first appearance of the season in the win at Olympiacos.


- The last time they played, Valencia beat Partizan 89-81 in January of last season.
- In their first official meeting, Valencia's 96-100 overtime win in Belgrade last season, Valencia's Xabi Lopez-Arostegui had his career-best 17 points, 3 steals and a PIR of 23.
- Before last season, the only other previous clashes between these two teams came in the 2018-19 7DAYS EuroCup when Valencia had a pair of 8-point wins over Partizan. No players are on either team's roster from that time.
- Partizan's Aleksa Avramovic has been a teammate of Valencia point guard Stefan Jovic on the Serbian national team and together they won the silver medal at the 2023 Basketball World Cup.
- Last season in Valencia, Partizan's Uros Trifunovic posted his career high with 6 rebounds in a Partizan loss.
