Pick: KK Partizan Mozzart Bet (Medium confidence)

Match context

Partizan are 12th at 4-5 and Maccabi are 17th at 2-7, so this is a home game against one of the two weakest records in the league. Partizan are 2-1 at home, Maccabi are 1-4 away. Maccabi are also dealing with a published rift over Daniel Theis and the loss of Iffe Lundberg until December.

Recent form

Partizan lost 55-72 to Panathinaikos, lost 65-74 at Fenerbahçe, beat Zvezda 85-82 in overtime, lost 75-82 at ASVEL and lost 80-87 at Žalgiris, so they have lost four of five. Maccabi lost 87-90 at Barcelona, won 91-88 at Valencia, then lost 99-113 to Real Madrid, 78-100 at Zvezda and 94-99 at home to Paris. A single win in five is their record over the same period.

How they attack and defend

Partizan are the lowest scorers in the league at 77.3 per game (696 in nine) and concede 79.4. Maccabi score 86.7 and concede 94.7, which is the worst defensive figure among the teams listed here (852 against). The game therefore sets Partizan's slow offence against a defence that has conceded 94 or more in three of its last five.

Head to head

Maccabi won 112-87 in Belgrade on 26 December 2025, with Lonnie Walker scoring 20 and Roman Sorkin 17, Cameron Payne leading Partizan with 15. Neither Walker nor Payne is at his club now, and both rosters have been rebuilt.

Key players and availability

Carlik Jones led the league in assists at 6.0 after six rounds, and Luca Vildoza led in steals at 2.7, with Alessandro Pajola at 1.7. Nikola Tanaskovic scored 19 against Žalgiris, and Kevarrius Hayes had 15 points and 8 rebounds against ASVEL. For Maccabi, Jimmy Clark had 21 against Paris, with Bonzie Colson and Roman Sorkin on 16 each and Yam Madar on 13 points and 9 assists. Madar scored 22 at Barcelona.

The edge

Partizan are the pick, but with a Medium label, because they have lost four of five. Their pressure on the ball, led by Vildoza and Pajola, should cause problems for a Maccabi side missing Lundberg, and home court counts for something. The pick goes wrong if Partizan's offence stalls again, as it did in the 55-point game against Panathinaikos, and Madar and Clark are allowed to pick their shots. Jekiri's absence leaves Partizan thin inside.

Team news

• Jekiri, Willis and Marinkovic on the Partizan list: Tonye Jekiri last played in Round 6, and on 18 October the club said he would miss at least two weeks with a groin strain. Derek Willis has been out with an ankle injury since Round 1. Vanja Marinkovic has not played in the EuroLeague this season after an Achilles injury, though he is back in the ABA League. All are from the 4 November report, so tonight's status is unconfirmed.
• Lundberg out until December, DiBartolomeo's return unconfirmed: Iffe Lundberg is out until December with a partial quadriceps tear. John DiBartolomeo missed Round 9 after returning to Israel for the birth of his daughter, and whether he travelled to Belgrade is unconfirmed.
• Theis reportedly wants to leave and has not played in two games: Eurohoops, citing Walla Sport, reported on 5 November that Maccabi want to part ways with Daniel Theis, who has not played a minute in the last two EuroLeague games. He averages 7.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in seven games. Maccabi's EuroLeague home games will move to Limassol from Round 11, but tonight's game is in Belgrade.
