Unicaja has won five of the last seven meetings against Bilbao, but one of those losses came in the most recent match in February of this year.
We have two teams here that have had issues finishing games since the return, and Unicaja is fresh off an overtime loss to Baskonia, a game they were lucky to even go to overtime. Bilbao has had issues on the offensive end in their first four games back, but they’ve been competitive for the most part and should only improve with more reps under its belt. Past meetings between Unicaja and Bilbao have also been close, which includes the last two games being decided by a combined 10 points. Based on the current form and the history, the points could come in handy in this one.
Give me Bilbao and the free buckets.
