Baskonia Team News
Baskonia is playing above all expectations this season. They had a record of 18-16 in the Euroleague, but even that was not enough to make it to the quarterfinals. They remained “short” by only one victory, while in the Endesa League, they currently hold the second position with the same score as the first-placed Barcelona (25-5).
In his first season on the bench of Baskonia, Joan Penarroya did a masterful job. They play extremely fast and look for solutions in transition whenever possible. From the beginning, Markus Howard imposed himself as the first option in the attack. However, as the season progressed, Darius Thompson became more and more the team’s floor general. Shooters like Vanja Marinkovic and Rokas Giedraitis can always bury the basket of any opponent, and the Estonian center Maik Kotsar also has an excellent campaign behind him.
Only four more rounds are left until the end of the regular part of the championship. Baskonia will try to win all the remaining games and hope for one defeat of Barcelona. That would give them home court advantage throughout the playoffs.

Gran Canaria Team News
Although the season is not yet over, we can easily state that Gran Canaria has the most successful season in the club’s history behind it. On Wednesday, they won the Eurocup with a victory against Turk Telekom in the final and will play in the Euroleague for the second time.
The Eurocup trophy is only the second they have lifted if we don’t count lower-class competitions. In 2016, the Spanish Super Cup was won, and now the European title has arrived in the showcases. Coach Jaka Lakovic has done a great job and has a promising career ahead of him. One of the characteristics of Gran Canaria is that they do not have a clear leader. A lot of players can have a double-digit performance, although, at the end of the matches, the responsibility is usually taken by A.J. Slaughter. Andrew Albicy is in charge of conducting the other side of the floor.
Gran Canaria will welcome the Endesa League playoffs from the sixth or seventh position. Until the end, they can play completely relieved because, after the cup in the Eurocup, everything else will be just a bonus. However, the players will try to prove themselves to keep their place in the team that will soon be part of the Euroleague.

Baskonia vs Gran Canaria Prediction
Baskonia won the last three games in the Endesa League quite convincingly. They want to catch Barcelona and take advantage of their material fatigue due to a busy schedule in the Euroleague. Gran Canaria certainly celebrated the trophy in the Eurocup, and the question is in what condition it will arrive in Vitoria.
