Group B leader Gran Canaria will go for a regular-season sweep of third-place Buducnost VOLI Podgorica in a game with major playoff-seeding implications.
Keys to victory: Gran Canaria vs. Buducnost



Gran Canaria needs a win on the glass
It will be imperative for Gran Canaria to win the rebounding battle. The two teams are below-average in rebounding, with Buducnost ranking 13th (34.8 rpg.) and Gran Canaria 14th (14.7 rpg.) this season. But Buducnost has won seven of eight games when it had an advantage on the glass. When they met earlier this season in Podgorica, Gran Canaria dominated the boards, outrebounding Buducnost 41-34 and also 15-9 on the offensive glass en route to a 76-83 win. Gran Canaria will need to do the same in this game.

Buducnost to keep turnovers low
Buducnost commits the third-fewest turnovers this season (11.9 per game), but its veteran backcourt will be put to the test against Gran Canaria's opportunistic defense, which forces the second-most turnovers (15.6 per game) and ranks second in steals (8.9 spg.). On a court where it has never won, Buducnost must take good care of the basketball, which is one way to minimize Gran Canaria's fastbreak opportunities.
