Valencia Basket tests itself on the court of a Dreamland Gran Canaria in good shape

Valencia Basket men's team returns to the competition after the Christmas break to visit the court that has resisted them the longest in the Endesa League, Dreamland Gran Canaria’s (Friday 27, 9:30 p.m., Gran Canaria Arena, Movistar Sports 2) in a Endesa League round 13 game.

 

The Taronja team will try to take advantage of its good moment of results in national competition to break a negative streak that lasts more than eight years and win on a court where has fallen in its last nine visits between acb and EuroCup.

 

It will not be easy. The Canarian team is going through a good shape at home (10-2 balance), who has won four of his last five games in the Endesa League and who two weeks ago took the win on the Unicaja’s court.

 

To attempt the assault on the Gran Canaria Arena, the Taronja team will move the twelve professional players coach Pedro Martínez has available, maintaining the already known absences due to injury of Nate Reuvers and Ethan Happ.

 

Valencia Basket faces this game in first position in the Endesa League with a balance of 10-2.
