After a pair of road defeats last week, Partizan (13-12) will hope for home comforts with a visit from Bayern (10-15).
Game Notes: Partizan vs. Bayern



Kevin Punter will look to maintain his magnificent form after scoring 28 and 22 points in last week's losses in Monaco and Bologna, while Bayern has Sylvain Francisco in great shape with double-digit scoring in six consecutive games. He also netted 17 points when Bayern beat Partizan 94-85 in November, supplemented by 21 points from backcourt teammate Carsen Edwards. Bayern won its last road game, 65-82 at ALBA, and needs a similarly strong defensive performance to take a vital victory on Thursday.
