Basquet Girona Arena
Manresa won
Basquet Girona host Manresa in a crucial ACB clash between two mid-table sides fighting to avoid relegation danger. Girona sit 10th with 13 points, just two places above 12th-placed Manresa who have 12 points, making this a pivotal six-pointer in the battle for league survival.
Both teams enter with excellent rest situations, having enjoyed 10-11 days between games, eliminating any fatigue concerns. Girona hold a slight home advantage and marginally better offensive output (87.1 vs 85.4 points per game), though both sides struggle defensively. The hosts have been more competitive at home this season (8-7 record) compared to Manresa's poor away form (4-10).
Recent form favors the visitors slightly, with Manresa coming off an impressive 104-102 home victory over Valencia, while Girona's last outing was a comfortable 90-81 home win against Zaragoza. However, injury concerns plague both squads, with Girona missing several key players including Fjellerup Maximo and Maric Nikola.
The minimal gap between these teams (0.04 PPG differential) suggests a tight contest, but Girona's home court advantage and superior league position provide the edge. Expect a high-scoring affair given both teams' defensive vulnerabilities, with the total likely exceeding 178.5 points. Back Girona -2.5 to secure a vital home victory in this relegation battle.

Basquet Girona have shown resilience despite their mid-table position, winning 13 of 29 games this season. Their home form (8-7) provides crucial support, averaging 87.3 points per game at the Basquet Girona Arena. Recent performances have been mixed, with their last outing producing a convincing 90-81 victory over Zaragoza, but they've struggled against top opposition, losing narrowly to Valencia (81-84) and Real Madrid (93-95).

Manresa arrive in decent spirits following their thrilling 104-102 home victory over Valencia, showcasing their potential when firing on all cylinders. However, their away record (4-10) remains a major concern, averaging just 82.3 points per game on the road while conceding 94.9. The 10-day rest period matches Girona's preparation time, leveling that particular factor. Their recent form shows glimpses of quality with wins over Valencia, Bilbao, and Joventut Badalona, but consistency remains elusive. Injury problems persist with several key players questionable, potentially limiting their rotation depth. Their overall defensive record (91.4 points conceded per game) suggests vulnerability against Girona's home offense.
