Howard’s Baskonia take on Valencia at the Fortress of Roig Arena
After three consecutive trips, Valencia Basket returns home at an important time in the calendar, this time for another EuroLeague match against Costner Baskonia on Tuesday (8pm).
Valencia Basketball started the day in third place with 11 wins and six losses in the continent’s premier competition. Talonja achieved a valuable victory on the Olympiakos court, but then suffered two defeats against Maccabi and UCAM Murcia. Now, Pedro Martínez’s side are back at home, where they have yet to lose in front of their fans.
Meanwhile, Baskonia (6-11) has experienced significant improvement since the start of the season. Despite all the inconveniences, Paolo Galbiati was able to achieve important results, especially at the Buesa Arena. A final example is the final day of the Endesa League, with just nine players and Marcus Howard scoring the winning basket. Furthermore, the Basque team already has valuable additions such as Gitis Lazevicius and Eugène Omoruyi. And probably. Key players such as Matteo Spagnuolo and Rodions Kurtis will be brought back, but Tadas Sedekerskis will remain sidelined.
As for the local teams, there is no news for the Talogna team. Braxton Key is set to return to EuroLeague, but Xavi López-Arostegui will continue to be the only injured player. Therefore, Pedro Martínez technically has to exclude two pieces.
Baskonia will make their debut at the Roig Arena looking for revenge after the Valencians won the Endesa League in Vitoria two days ago, with Kameron Taylor scoring the winning goal in the last second.
