Valencia Basket plays another away game at the demanding court of La Laguna Tenerife
Liga Endesa round 22
Miguel Ángel Polo
Valencia Basket men's team faces its second road game of the week as they visit the demanding court of La Laguna Tenerife (Saturday 14, 20:00, Santiago Martín, DAZN) in a matchup from Round 22 of the Liga Endesa. After starting their tour with a loss on the court of the best home team in the EuroLeague, the taronja side will try to regain their offensive rhythm in a clash between two teams with very different tempos but sharing one thing in common: highly efficient offenses.
In fact, both teams rank among those that score a large portion of their points from three-point range, so accuracy from beyond the arc is expected to be one of the keys to the game. Although Valencia Basket is on a good streak of consecutive wins against this opponent—extended with a 96–79 victory in the first meeting of the season—they have lost three of their last seven visits to this arena, which is always a difficult place to play.
The taronja squad has traveled to Tenerife with the same 14 players who were available for Thursday’s game, with the only absence being forward Kameron Taylor, who will miss his third consecutive game due to a muscle injury in his right leg.
Valencia Basket begins this round in second place in the Liga Endesa standings with a 16–5 record.
