Unicaja - Real Betis

Zaragoza is the second fastest team in Spain in terms of pace and has decent offensive and defensive rankings. But with such a high pace, naturally there is a higher scoring potential. This is where Andorra comes in, with the worst defensive ranking in the league, but their offense is not as weak. There may be some fear of a slow period from Andorra, but this is an away game and Zaragoza should be able to showcase their pace.

Both teams are playing a very fast-paced game of basketball and it is hard to expect anything other than a high-scoring game, with both teams scoring close to 100 points or more. Baskonia is showing signs of improvement, their game is getting better, especially since Forrest's return. I believe it will be a tough battle, but the defense is not shining for either team, as Unicaja has been allowing a lot of points lately. However, their offense is impressive.

I didn't see anything serious with him in Barcelona, just a light knock for a period, so I see that he should play. Basques are in good form, both the team and the player, who throws everything/from everywhere. Now the most important thing for him is consistency. Such a total change has been made during this good period. The most important thing is that he seems confident, which he hasn't been for a long time, and I believe the coach sees it too.

After immediately losing to Barca, Unicaja's coefficient was damaged, but now they stand up again, because they should have won with TLC and Howard. The Basques are in a very good form and the team has a lot of confidence. Now the most important thing for them is not to focus on the result, but to realize that they play well and it's a test. This is not the Unicaja of the past seasons. Even though they have a wide rotation, there are concerns about the defense, Castaneda is currently at zero, and many rely on veterans Diaz and Peru. I am looking forward to the battle, as the Basques have been moving well lately and realistically only lack Seda.
