Expect playoffs-like intensity as Baskonia (3-4) welcomes high-flying Barcelona (6-1) for an intense Spanish derby between two teams in good form.
Game Facts: Baskonia vs. Barcelona

The return of coach Dusko Ivanovic has inspired Baskonia to two straight wins, and the hosts boast the league's top rebounder in Tadas Sedekerskis (9 rpg.). But the battle for inside dominance will be fierce as Barca lines up with in-form newcomers Willy Hernangomez and Jabari Parker, who combined for 38 points on 12-for-16 two-point shooting in last week's battling win over Zvezda. The backcourt features a pair of long-range shooting specialists, with Markus Howard (2.0 3PTM) going up against former Baskonia star Nicolas Laprovittola (2.6 3PTM).
