Valencia was lucky to have Nikola Kalinic and Klemen Prepelic on a great day. Those two helped their team with their scoring (22 points each) to prevail over CSKA Moscow 105-103 after double overtime. Especially Kalinic was the one to score the game-winning layup.  Alongside Martin Hemannsson with his 17 points and Bojan Dubljevic who offered 14 points and 12 rebounds, Valencia managed to take an important win that kept them alive for the post-seasons positions.

Tonight Valencia has to build a winning streak that will allow them to chase their ambitions. Not an easy task as they host Real Madrid. Los Blancos beat Valencia last week for the Copa del Rey and they are travelling to La Fonteta to do it again. And the visitors have a great chance to do it, unless Sam Van Rossom and Martin Hermannsson, succeed in controlling the pace of the game. And have their standard shooting averages of course.

Baskonia ended a four-game losing streak in a fancy manner. They prevailed Real 64-84 at Madrid. The hosts trailed from the beginning and tried to tie things up in early second half. But Baskonia truly bombarded outside of the arc and Real had no chance to come back again. It seemed that they run out of gas and they just stand there watching Baskonia marching at their home.

Real Madrid might face lots of injuries, but it is well-known that Pablo Laso has many alternatives. For example, in the backcourt, Sergio Llull and Jaycee Carroll are significant firepower that no one can ignore. And of course, in the paint, Tavares plays a significant role in both ends. Los Blancos will have to rely on them if they want to get another road win.

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Valencia v Real Madrid 4-5.

Klemen Prepelic is currently Valencia's main offensive threat. He averages 12.4 points per game while excellent shooting (39.7% 3FG, 92.2% FT)  and also dishes 3.0 assists per game. He is the mastermind of Valencia's offensive efforts. And he is doing just fine so far. But tonight he will have to respond to a much more challenging task. He will have to deal with a taller, stronger, and more versatile guard, Alberto Abalde. Abalde used to play for Valencia, but now he offers his services to Real and he is also ready for a very interesting match-up.
