Partizan (15-18) will look for the victory it needs to have any chance of qualifying for postseason action with a visit from Valencia (14-19), whose chances for the postseason were lost last week, resulting in the departure of head coach Alex Mumbru.
Game Notes: Partizan vs. Valencia

The Spanish team will be led by new coach Albert Oliver. Valencia suffered a 67-72 home loss to Partizan earlier in the season. Kevin Punter inspired that triumph with 13 points and 9 rebounds, and he has struck top form with an average of 17 points in the last four games. The Serbian team will also look for another strong performance from James Nunnally, who shrugged off indifferent recent form by recording 19 points in last week's win at ALBA. Valencia's best chance of success lies with Chris Jones, the only player with double digits PIR in Round 33's humbling defeat to ASVEL.
- In Round 15, Partizan edged Valencia 67-72 for its first EuroLeague win in this rivalry. Kevin Punter earned MVP of the Round honors with a PIR of 25, scoring 13 points and grabbing a career-high 9 rebounds.
