Recap
This match comes too soon for Real Madrid. In less than 48 hours after a superb win against Partizan in the 5th match in Euroleague. They are going to Valencia completely exhausted, after the marathon series with the Serbian team, while in the ACB league, they secured the 3rd place in the standings. Due to injury, Gabriel Deck (9.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists) is out, while coach Mateo Chus will make big rotations similar to in the last league match against Unicaja, where Hezonja, Hanga, and Tavares were rested. Valencia is leading an uncertain race for the last playoff spot and must use the super-intensive schedule in Madrid’s team, who will play their 9th match in the last 19 days.
