He is coming off a 27-point, 7-rebound performance in an 82-91 loss to Ibar Rozaje on Jan. 4. In his previous game, he posted 25 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Guard Stefan Vlahovic, who scored 22 points against Ibar, provides backcourt support.

Vukovi Zeta (3-8) counters with guard Marko Raicevic, who scored 17 points in the team’s 78-92 loss to Primorje 1945 last Sunday. He also contributed 19 points in a win over Teodo Tivat on Dec. 25. Forward Drazen Otasevic, who had 15 points in the last game, is another key scorer.
