KK Spartak Office Shoes – Karditsa Iaponiki Where to Watch

• → Game to take place at Hala Sportova “Dudova Šuma,” Subotica on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 20:00 Local Time (CET)
• → Form check: Spartak edged Zadar 76–75 in the ABA on Dec 29; Karditsa fell 68–72 to PAOK on Dec 28 in Greece.
• → Context: Play-ins opener. Spartak have won 2 of 3 at home in the BCL (last one 99–69 vs Benfica); Karditsa’s last two BCL road trips were heavy, including 84–115 at Unicaja.

Interior pressure, tidy tempo

Spartak’s best nights start at the rim and on the glass. Shevon Thompson has strung together back-to-back 15+ home scoring games in the BCL and remains a constant as a non-three-point scorer (308 career BCL points without a made 3).

With Olivier Hanlan and Stefan Momirov supplying spacing and secondary creation, Spartak can get to their middle PnR and pound paint touches before the game turns into a shootout.

Road answers and perimeter punch

Karditsa have dropped their last two BCL games away, conceding 80+ in both, and they rarely get separation - never led by 10+ in any Regular Season game, and trailed by 15+ in each of their last two on the road. The route back is guard shot-making.

Damien Jefferson is on a heater with 20+ in two straight BCL outings (including a 26-piece vs Unicaja) and owns Play-ins pedigree from 2024. Brandon Jefferson’s pull-up game plus Warren Washington at the rim give Karditsa ways to steady runs if they protect the ball.

Inside the margins

• First-shot quality vs volume threes: Spartak’s interior diet can shrink variance; if Karditsa heat up from deep, the hosts must live at the line and on second chances.
• Transition control: Karditsa’s heavy road deficits have started with live-ball mistakes; Spartak’s ability to turn rebounds into early-clock looks is a swing factor.
• Whistle management: Choppy games help Spartak, whose last BCL home blowout came with constant pressure at the rim; Karditsa need discipline to stay out of the bonus.

Stakes

Game 1 leverage in a best-of-three. A home hold keeps Spartak in command before the trip to Greece; a Karditsa steal flips home-court and the series math in 40 minutes.
