When? 17:00
Story of the game: In this week’s NLB Match of the Round, Zadar will host Partizan Mozzart Bet on Sunday evening.
Zadar are having quite a good season so far as the boys coached by Danijel Jusup currently have the overall score of 6-6 and they are inside the Playoffs zone. The blue-and-whites are one of the rare teams in the league to have a positive home-court record against Partizan Mozzart Bet as the head-to-head score in Zadar is 10:8 for the home team. Having that in mind and considering that the hosts will have huge help from their loyal fans, Zadar have the right to hope that they may stun the reigning champions this weekend.
On the other side, Partizan Mozzart Bet are coming to Zadar in a truly amazing form. The black-and-whites have had 9 consecutive wins (4 in AdmiralBet ABA League and 5 in Turkish Airlines EuroLeague) before losing the away game against Real Madrid last Thursday. Yet, that defeat against currently the best team in Europe certainly did not make any damage to the team and the Belgrade side are approaching this match fully motivated to extend their winning streak in the regional competition where they currently have the score of 9-3.
Match-up in focus: On one side there is Zadar's leader Luka Božić, currently the most dominant player in the league, who managed last week to achieve his 2nd triple double of the season.
On the other, there is James Nunnally, Partizan Mozzart Bet’s professional game-winner, who always shines in big games.
One of them might actually decide the winner of the upcoming match.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 12:26; In Zadar 10:8.
