Valencia Basket ends its first marathon of games on the Monbus Obradoiro's court

Valencia Basket closes a series of five games in ten days visiting the Monbus Obradoiro’s court (Sunday 23, 5:00 p.m., Fontes do Sar, Movistar+ Deportes) in a game corresponding to the fifth day of the Endesa League.

 

After a straight line of games in which none of the four previous commitments has been resolved by a difference greater than two points, the Taronja team will try to find a win that will allow them to finish with good feelings a week in which they have faced three away-games. And by the way break their bad dynamics in the Endesa League, where they chained two defeats.

 

Although the precedents in Santiago in acb are favorable to the taronja team (3-9) and they have been victorious in their last two visits, every time they have won at Fontes do Sar in recent history they have done so after tight games.

 

And in the preseason precedent, the Galician team won with authority at La Fonteta by 78-88 in a game corresponding to the Trofeu Ciutat de València. This clash confronts two of the teams that best control the rebounds under their own hoop, so the fight in the defensive rebound seems to be one of the important elements of the game.

 

 The taronja team will face this game with four absentees, since point guard Jared Harper will miss it due to a sprained right ankle. The American game director joins the casualty list along with power forwards James Webb III (left foot) and Jasiel Rivero (left calf) and the long-term injured Martin Hermannsson.

 

Valencia Basket begins this day located in the 8th position of the Endesa League with a 2-2 scoreline.
