Partizan Lost to Top Teams

Partizan started its EuroLeague campaign with wins over Olimpia Milano, Paris, and Bayern Munich. A tougher stretch followed against Real Madrid, Panathinaikos, and Fenerbahce. Joan Peñarroya’s team lost all three games. The Belgrade derby gives Partizan a chance to end that run.

Partizan Predicted Lineup: Carlik Jones, Thompson, Stevens, Tanasković, Hayes
