Partizan’s (0-2) loyal fans will attempt to roar their players to a first victory with a visit from Bayern (1-1).
Game Notes: Partizan vs. Bayern

This could be a shootout: Partizan ranks sixth in scoring with 84 points per game, with Bayern fourth (88 points per game), while the teams are among the worst defenses after respectively allowing an average of 90.5 and 91.5 points. The shooting skills of Vanja Marinkovic (66.7% from the field) will be crucial for Partizan, which will look to control the paint through Brandon Davies and Tyrique Jones (14.0 and 16.5 points per game respectively). Bayern can answer through Devin Booker, who had 15 points and 7 boards in last week’s loss at Panathinaikos, while former Partizan star Yam Madar will look to shine in the backcourt.
