Barcelona Team News
Sarunas Jasikevicius’s side quickly recovered from the Euroleague Final Four debacle in Kaunas, where they suffered two heavy defeats. They handled Valencia fairly easily and recorded two convincing wins.
First, they triumphed at home 84-74, and then they were even more dominant away from home, where they demolished Valencia 87-64. Barca seemed quite focused in the offense in both matches, and their offensive possessions were very varied. The coaching staff rotated almost all players in both games so that no basketball player entered the semi-final series too tired.
They shot well for three points in this series, especially in the second game. Then they scored as many as 18 three-pointers, which is Barcelona’s record in one playoff match. Their success rate was a fantastic 58%. Tomas Satoransky and Alex Abrines scored four each, while Kyle Kuric, Nico Laprovittola, and Nikola Mirotic scored one less each.
If their shooting mood is at the same level on Wednesday, Unicaja’s defense will be greatly tempted.

Unicaja Team News
On the other hand, Unicaja’s basketball players secured their place in the semi-finals of the playoffs much easier than anyone expected. Although they did not have the advantage of the home floor, Ibon Navarra’s team defeated Tenerife twice in both games by a double-digit margin.
In the first match in the Canary Islands, they triumphed with a score of 72-59, and then they confirmed their place among the top four teams in the league with an even more dominant victory in front of the home fans, 97-74. Their offensive performance in the second, third, and fourth quarters of the second game was masterful. They scored 84 points in 30 minutes, and such efficiency is rarely seen on European floors.
It should be noted that their defense also worked well in that series. In the first match, they limited the basketball players of Tenerife to 59 points, and in the first half of that match, they received only 20 points in 20 minutes.
Barcelona vs Unicaja PredictionH2H
These two teams have met three times in the current competitive year. Barca won both times in the ACB league, 75-60 and 86-81. On the other hand, Unicaja triumphed 89-87 after overtime in the quarter-finals of the final tournament of the Spanish Cup.
Barcelona vs Unicaja Prediction
We expect both teams to play very aggressively in the defensive phase. Also, we do not expect a too-fast game, and we believe both will patiently build offensive possessions. Therefore, we believe the total number of points achieved will not exceed 160.
