Fresh off a 87-74 win over Borac Mozzart in Serbia, Dubai Basketball will look for back-to-wins this weekend and reinforce their position as one of the League’s top sides. After four games of the season, Dubai are in fourth place – but only a single point behind the three sides above them.
Last time out Danilo Anđušić delivered his best performance of the season, scoring a game-high 16 points to help secure the victory – and the Coca-Cola Arena crowd will be hoping for more of the same on Sunday night.

“Playing in front of our fans at Coca-Cola Arena always gives us that extra boost,” says Dubai Basketball Head Coach Jurica Golemac. “We’re ready to give it our all and make sure we keep our performance levels from last week. Spartak Subotica is a good team, but we are determined to protect our home ground and keep climbing the league standings.”
Dubai Basketball has been making waves in their inaugural season with their disciplined gameplay featuring prominent talent in the lineup including ex-NBA star Davis Bertans and Slovenian captain, Klemen Prepelič, leading the team, aiming to strengthen their position among the league’s top contenders.
As for Spartak Subotica, they’ll be looking to continue their winning streak as they currently stand in eighth in the ABA League standings. Subotica started the season with two tough losses, but have since found their groove and will arrive in Dubai on the back of consecutive winning performances . With talented players on their roster, including last week’s Man of the Match – Danilo Nikolić, who scored 11 points with 9 rebounds, they are sure to bring their unwavering spirit to Dubai, setting the stage for an exciting game.
Beyond the on-court action, fans can look forward to a day filled with entertainment from adrenaline- pumping music brought to you by Dubai’s own – DJ Kaboo, to unmissable half-time performances.
