Partizan Team News
On Wednesday, Partizan lost against Maccabi in Tel Aviv. In this way, they ended four-game winning streak in the Euroleague. Defensively, black and whites once again played below the required level and thus confirmed that they are the worst defense in the entire competition.
Due to a very poor start in Tel Aviv, head coach Zeljko Obradovic punished Yam Madar, James Nunnally and Alen Smailagic. They have never returned to the floor after opening minutes and their much better performance in Belgrade is certainly expected. Partizan are playing with much more intensity and energy on their home court. This is normal if you know that they have more than 18,000 loud and passionate fans behind them. This will be the case now against Baskonia as the hall is sold out again.
Good thing for Partizan is that Baskonia’s defense is not phenomenal either. If home team imposes its rhythm, which is expected, they will have a great chance to achieve ninth triumph in the Euroleague. After all, defeat is not an option because it would made road to the top 8 very difficult for Partizan.
Baskonia Team News
In the first 16 rounds, Baskonia were the most pleasant surprise in the Euroleague. However, they are now slowly falling into crisis. They lost to Alba Berlin and Bayern in the last two rounds and now they come to Belgrade with the desire to end two-game losing streak.
Main reason for aforementioned defeats was poor defense. They allowed Bayern to score 92 points. Baskonia’s strongest weapon is their shooting from distance. Markus Howard has profiled himself as the best shooter in the Euroleague this season. Besides him, Baskonia has several other options such as Vanja Marinkovic, Rokas Giedraitis and Matt Costello.
To win in Belgrade, only good shoot from distance won’t be enough for Baskonia. Their defense will have to play one of the best games because Partizan scores 85.5 points per average at home. Baskonia will have to put special focus on Zach LeDay and Mathias Lessort because they are physically more dominant than their centers.

Partizan vs Baskonia Prediction
Although Baskonia had an extra day to prepare for this game, Partizan gets enormous energy from the stands. This was seen against Monaco when they simply crushed the opponent in fourth quarter. LeDay and Lessort will certainly gain a big advantage under the basket and it’s hard to believe that Baskonia can slow down or limit the opponent’s offense in any way in this clash.
