Valencia (8-7) will look to bounce back into winning ways with a visit from confident Virtus (11-4), which has won four in a row to take sole control of second place.
Game Facts: Valencia vs. Virtus
2023-24
3 Mins read
Virtus's home victory over Olympiacos in Round 15 demonstrated its versatility, leaning mostly on a stern defense rather than the offensive prowess that had marked its previous successes. On this occasion, veteran Daniel Hackett will look to provide another strong all-round performance (8 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists) against the threat of Valencia playmaker Chris Jones, who has scored in double digits in five consecutive games. The Spanish team is also defensively strong, allowing a league-low 74 points per game, so this could be a low-scoring, closely fought battle.
