The top spot in the Liga Endesa is up for grabs in Málaga

Valencia Basket and Unicaja will face each other on Saturday, January 18 at 20:45 in the Palacio de los Deportes Martín Carpena, tied with a 13-3 record as the first and second teams in the Liga Endesa, in a direct showdown that will decide which of the two teams finishes the first half of the season as leader. This will be the fifth time since the 1999-00 season that a team other than those with a fixed spot in the EuroLeague has earned the honorary recognition of winter champion. Only the two teams in this game have achieved that during this period: three times for the team from Valencia and once for the team from Malaga. It’s a high-stakes clash between two teams with defined and recognizable styles, virtues that bring them close, capabilities that contrast, and players who are among the best in some of the most significant statistical categories, which we will analyze in depth.
