Partizan Team News
Partizan recorded five consecutive wins in the last two weeks. In the Euroleague, they defeated Anadolu Efes, Fenerbahce and Bayern, while in the ABA league they beat FMP and Igokea. Now, they will have the easiest game on paper since mid-November.
Head coach Zeljko Obradovic uses almost every game in the ABA league to rest the most important players. Those with most minutes in the Euroleague like Mathias Lessort, Zach LeDay, Kevin Punter and James Nunnally certainly won’t spend more time on the floor than necessary. This gives the rest of the roster a chance to fight for a more important role. For example, Uros Trifunovic made the best of it. Thanks to the good performances in the ABA league, he got more space in the Euroleague.
Anything but Partizan’s win will be a first-class sensation. However, the black and whites know that Zadar shocked Red Star in Belgrade this season, which means that they will be careful. With the necessary focus and motivation, they should get the job done without too much difficulty.
Zadar Team News
Zadar are the most pleasant surprise in the ABA league so far. They are in sixth place with 7-5 and they defeated teams such as Red Star, FMP and Igokea. Zadar also were close against Buducnost when they squandered a ten-point lead two minutes before the end.
Zadar’s biggest weapon is an extremely powerful offense. They are scoring 90.2 points per game and Luka Bozic is the main candidate to be MVP of the regular season. He is the second best scorer in the competition with 23.4 points per game, plus he is convincingly the first in index rating (33.5 average). On the Zadar bench is Danijel Jusup, who is in his fifth term. It was he who brought this club the only title in the ABA League back in 2003.
In order to have any chance in Belgrade, Zadar will have to play at the same level as against Red Star two months ago. Then, they scored 98 points. It will be difficult for them to beat Partizan if they don’t reach at least 90 points again.

Partizan vs Zadar Prediction
There is no doubt that Partizan is the absolute favorite to win. It will be a sensation if we see any other scenario. Nevertheless, Zadar has shown in the ABA league so far that it are able to play a good game against anyone. They will certainly provide the maximum in Belgrade and thus parry at least in one part of this match.
