Baskonia Team News
Baskonia is struggling a lot in 2023. From a safe position within the top 8 of the Euroleague, they have reached the point where a frantic fight awaits them for a place in the quarterfinals. They have won just three of their last nine games in this competition, and it is time for them to start playing the way they did between October and December.
Baskonia’s poor form is linked to the situation around Pierre Henry and the drop in Markus Howard’s shooting form. Offensive production is not what it used to be, which is reflected in the results. The defense was not particularly good from the beginning of the season, but the shooting functioned phenomenally. This was especially the case in Vitoria, where Baskonia has a record of 10-2 in the Euroleague. Only Barcelona and Olympiacos “took points” from the “Fernando Buesa Arena.”
Baskonia had chances to triumph in Kaunas and Bologna, but both times they faltered in the fourth quarter. Now they hope that they can continuously play a good match against Valencia, and for such a thing, they will need several motivated players in the attack.
Valencia Team News
Valencia ultimately marked January in the Euroleague. With five wins in six rounds, they are in a situation where they are equally fighting for a place in the quarterfinals, but to get there, they will have to achieve a large number of victories. A possible triumph in Vitoria would be “double” because they would defeat a direct competitor.
Valencia strengthened the outside line a couple of weeks ago by signing Shannon Evans. With Chris Jones and Jared Harper, that’s more than enough shooting arsenal. However, the defense must be even better because, with it, they can easily beat better rivals. This was best seen in “Fonteta” last week, where they lost to Olympiacos despite making 16 three-point shots.
In the first Euroleague clash between these two teams, Maik Kotsar caused enormous problems for Valencia. Bojan Dubljević and Jasiel Rivero will be the crucial factor for this match. If they achieve dominance against the Estonian center, Alex Mumbru’s chances will significantly increase.

Baskonia vs Valencia Prediction
Baskonia showed much better editions on its floor this season. Now that they are in a crisis of results, one sure win is necessary. If Kotsar saves himself from personal mistakes, and the shot from distance works, the host will be closer to victory. We should also consider that Baskonia coach Joan Penarroya led Valencia last season, and he certainly has a lot of important information about the opposing players.
