Barcelona has won four of the last six meetings against Baskonia, but was on the losing side in the last meeting that came in January of this year.

Barcelona has been the more consistent team of the two, but it’s important to note that five of their last seven wins have been decided by single digits. While extremely talented and capable of blowout victories, Barcelona has had trouble putting teams away and did trail in its last effort against Unicaja at half-time. Baskonia has won its first two games back by an average of 15 points and has shown the ability to play elite defense during this winning streak. Baskonia also beat Barcelona in the last meeting and the contest before that one needed overtime to be decided.

We’re getting a battle between two red hot teams and clubs that play each other well. Give me Baskonia and the free points.
