Baskonia has won six of the last seven meetings against Bilbao, but was on the losing side in the last meeting which took place in October of last year.
Bilbao was hit or miss in their last several games before the break, and they’re now going up against a team they’ve lost six of the last seven meetings against. Baskonia has won each of its last five games and held Tenerife to just 58 points the last time we saw them. If the form of both clubs holds up, this is going to be a game where Bilbao has a hard time keeping up. Baskonia has too many ways to win games and can blow its opponent off the court if not able to match their energy.
Baskonia and the chalk has to be the play here based on the current form of these clubs and the history.
