Valencia Basket will open the new year in front of their fans hosting Baxi Manresa
Liga Endesa round 14
Miguel Ángel Polo
Valencia Basket men’s team will play in front of their home fans for the first time in 2026 as they close out their first three-game week by hosting Baxi Manresa (Sunday the 4th, 7:00 pm, Roig Arena, DAZN) in a Round 14 Liga Endesa matchup. Less than two days after their win in Bilbao, the Taronja will look to build on the positive feelings from a record-breaking second half to keep their recent good run alive and continue the strong results they have achieved when backed by their supporters.
They will not have it easy against an opponent that has won two of its last three games, stands out for its fast pace, is one of the best assisting teams in the Liga Endesa, and leads the league in forcing turnovers. If Valencia Basket secure the win, they would clinch a place in the Copa del Rey on sporting merit—already guaranteed as hosts—with four games still to play as they try to remain in the fight for the seeded positions heading into the tournament at the end of the first half of the season.
Head coach Pedro Martínez has his full roster available for this game. Valencia Basket begin this Liga Endesa round in second place with a 10–2 record, with one game in hand at the Roig Arena against Casademont Zaragoza, to be played on January 12.
