The yellow-and-blue team comes into the game following a significant win against Zalgiris Kaunas in the previous round and another victory in Kiryat Ata in the Israeli league, with new center Trevion Williams making an impact. However, Jasiel Rivero is still not expected to play against Partizan as he has yet to fully recover from a hamstring injury.
?eljko Obradovi?'s Partizan is in excellent form, having won six of their last eight games, improving their record to 8-10. Despite their home court being considered one of the most intimidating in Europe, with 20,000 passionate Serbian fans in the stands, their home record this season is only 5-5.
Partizan underwent a complete roster overhaul during the summer, with every player except center Bal?a Koprivica replaced. Leading the charge is South Sudanese point guard Carlik Jones, who averages 13.6 points and 4.9 assists per game. Center Tyrique Jones, who joined from Anadolu Efes, has also been impressive with 12.6 points and six rebounds per game. Recently, guard Duane Washington has emerged as a key contributor, averaging 18 points per game in the last four rounds.
Obradovi? also has several other dangerous tools at his disposal, including forward Sterling Brown, veteran center Brandon Davies, and French sharpshooter Frank Ntilikina. On the other hand, Serbian guard Vanja Marinkovi? will be absent, and Iffe Lundberg is not at full fitness after missing the team's recent games.
"There will be many similarities to the game against Zalgiris, especially the two dominant scorers", predicted Maccabi coach Oded Kattash before the team's departure to Serbia. "A team that mainly plays simple things but executes them the way most ?eljko teams do, so it needs to start with our defense."
The first-round meeting between the teams ended with a 91-79 victory for Partizan. This result gave the Serbians a narrow edge in the teams' head-to-head record since the establishment of the EuroLeague in 2000, with the current tally standing at 9-8 in the Serbs' favor.
