Baskonia didn't play last week against Alba Berlin, as the game postponed due to Covid-19. Their latest game was for the Spanish league and the easy home win 87-68 against Manresa two days ago. The Basques have two wins at hone for the Euroleague campaign this year and they are a very tough team to win when they play at home.  

Baskonia hosted Barcelona 12 days ago for their domestic league and beat the Catalans 82-71. But today is a different story. The home team has the second-ranked defense, and this is what is expected to be their weapon for yet another night. Also rebounding, stealing, and running will give Baskonia easy baskets and help them get the win. 

Barcelona took the first clásico of this EuroLeague season by downing Real Madrid 79-72 at home last Friday. The Catalans improved to 4-1 in the standings and they face the campaign with more confidence. An outstanding first half made the difference in this game. Barcelona won it by 48-27 with the extraordinary 68.2% in the two-point shooting. Barca is going to dictate the tempo. If they succeed in that they will get another win on the road.  

Barca's team leader Nikola Mirotic is expected to get back tonight. The former NBAer has a key role, especially in the team's offense. Even though Barcelona has won three games without him and coach Sarunas Jasikevicius feels confident having Rolands Smits and Sergi Martinez stepping up at the same power forward position, Nicola has the unique ability to lead his team to win. 

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Baskonia v Barcelona 11-8.

Rokas Giedraitis of Baskonia and Cory Higgins of Barca, are expected to shine tonight and their battle will be crucial for the final outcome of the Spanish clash. Giedraitis has averaged 19.3 points and 4.0 rebounds over three games while playing an average of 32:33 minutes. Higgins, a two-time EuroLeague champion, is on 12.4 points and 3.0 assists per game. The American forward is far more experienced than his rival, but Giedraitis looks in better shape lately.
