The prize is very significant: the winner will have two chances of advancing through the play-in, and host the second of those games if necessary. Virtus has been spiraling recently, suffering six consecutive defeats, and will look to end that slump through the leadership of Toko Shengelia in what promises to be a fierce personal battle with Chima Moneke. The backcourt will feature a shootout between the first and third most prolific three-point shooters in the league: Markus Howard (3.6 triples per game) and Virtus's Marco Belinelli (2.7).
- In Round 14, Virtus beat Baskonia 81-91 with Marco Belinielli scoring a career-high 27 points.
- Virtus beat Baskonia, then called Tau Ceramica, 3-2 in the best-of-five final series in the inaugural 2000-01 EuroLeague season to win its second EuroLeague crown.
- Virtus forward Tornike Shengelia spent six seasons with Baskonia, from 2014 to 2020. Shengelia was Baskonia's team captain and led the team to the 2020 Spanish championship and a 2016 EuroLeague Final Four berth. Shengelia played under current Zvezda head coach Dusko Ivanovic at Baskonia in the 2019-20 season.
- Shengelia grabbed a career high 6 offensive rebounds playing for CSKA Moscow against Baskonia in January 2021.
- Virtus forward Achille Polonara spent two seasons with Baskonia, from 2019 to 2021. He helped the team win the 2020 Spanish championship.
- Baskonia sharpshooter Vanja Marinkovic and Virtus's Ognjen Dobric have been teammates on the Serbian national team. They won a silver medal at the 2023 Basketball World Cup.
- Marinkovic had his career-highs in rebounds (8) and steals (3) in an 88-83 road loss against Virtus in February of last season.
- Virtus center Bryant Dunston blocked a career-best 5 shots playing for Anadolu Efes Istanbul against Baskonia in February 2017.
