It was another home defeat for Valencia 82-85 by Maccabi, who lost (as in the match against Barcelona) a first-class opportunity to clinch 7th place and approach 6th Panathinaikos.

The game with Fenerbahce is now a crucial one as the Turkish team is claiming a position in the 8th.

American scorer Jordan Lloyd (11.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists) has been out of action for three weeks with a fatigue fracture, but also experienced Belgian playmaker Van Rossom (6, 9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists) officially considered extremely questionable.

In the last four home games, Valencia has beaten only Panathinaikos 94-87.

After conquering the Turkish Cup, Obradovic's side were knocked out of Real by losing 29 points (65-94) although the opponent was playing with many absences.
