Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade Preview

Partizan's previous EuroLeague match was against Žalgiris Kaunas on October 30, where they suffered an 87–80 defeat. Žalgiris took control early, winning the first quarter 27–21 and extending their advantage to 44–40 by halftime. 

Partizan struggled to close the gap in the third quarter, being outscored 25–17, before winning the fourth quarter 23–18. However, their late effort was not enough to complete the comeback. Nikola Tanasković was Partizan's leading scorer with 19 points and 5 rebounds, while E. 

Thompson contributed 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Luca Vildoza added 14 points, and Carlik Jones finished with 7 points and 7 assists. Partizan shot 31 of 72 from the field and only 5 of 23 from three-point range, which hurt their chances of winning.

Partizan should focus on improving their perimeter shooting and creating better offensive opportunities through Carlik Jones and Luca Vildoza, using their playmaking abilities to create space for Nikola Tanasković, E. Thompson and the frontcourt players. They should also attack the basket more frequently instead of depending heavily on three-point shooting. 

Defensively, Partizan need to apply pressure on Jimmy Clark III and Yam Madar, disrupt Maccabi's pick-and-roll combinations and close down open perimeter shooters. Controlling the defensive rebounds and limiting second-chance opportunities will be important, especially against Maccabi's frontcourt players.

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv Preview

Maccabi had a difficult start, falling behind 25–17 in the first quarter, but responded strongly in the second to take a 36–35 halftime lead. The third quarter was closely contested, with both teams scoring 29 and the game tied at 65 heading into the final period. 

Paris then produced a strong fourth quarter, scoring 34 points against Maccabi's 29 to secure the victory. Jimmy Clark III led Maccabi with 21 points and 2 assists, while Roman Sorkin and Bonzie Colson contributed 16 points each. 

Yam Madar recorded 13 points and 9 assists, and Oshae Brissett added 11 points. Despite making 14 three-pointers, Maccabi struggled with turnovers and rebounding, finishing with 18 turnovers and only 23 rebounds.

Maccabi should build their offense around Jimmy Clark III's scoring and Yam Madar's playmaking, using pick-and-roll situations to create opportunities for Roman Sorkin and Bonzie Colson. Their perimeter shooting can be a major advantage, but they must reduce unnecessary turnovers and improve their rebounding. 

Defensively, Maccabi need to contain Carlik Jones and Luca Vildoza, prevent Partizan from creating easy scoring opportunities inside and contest outside shots. Maintaining defensive intensity throughout all four quarters will be crucial, particularly in the hostile atmosphere of the Belgrade Arena.

The Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv on average, score 86.7 points per game, they score 48.8% from the field and 37% from the arc.The Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv grab 29 rebounds per game.
