Unicaja look for a spark of consistency after splitting their last six games. Unicaja is averaging 79.3 points on 50.2 percent shooting and allowing 78.2 points on 54.7 percent shooting. Dario Brizuela is averaging 12.3 points and 2.3 assists while Josh Adams is averaging 11.5 points and 2.2 rebounds.

Unicaja has won six of the last seven meetings against Barcelona, which includes a win in the last meeting in December of last year. Barcelona’s only win over Unicaja during that span came in January of 2019.

Barcelona is in terrific form with seven straight victories, but each of their last four victories have been decided by single digits. In fact, Barcelona is winning by an average of 4.5 points in their last four games. Unicaja have had issues finding recent consistent success, but they’ve had no problem beating Barcelona in past meetings and lit them on fire for 105 points in the last contest. Unicaja is averaging 90 points in its last two games, so that offensive spark is still there.

Based on the history between these two teams and how close Barcelona has played to the vest lately, I’ll take my chances with Unicaja and the free points.
