BAXI Manresa hosts a Baskonia in top form in the league
Congost receives a visit from the Basque team, which has won 13 of the last 15 games in the Endesa League. Benitez and Obasohan will not be on the Manresa roster, while Dani Pérez and Louis Olinde are doubtful.
BAXI Manresa faces Easter with a great challenge in Nou Congost: competing against one of the best teams in recent days in the Endesa League. Diego Ocampo's team will try to recover from the last defeats, now reinforced with the latest signing, David Duke Jr.
On Sunday at 12:15 Nou Congost will reactivate to try to find competitiveness to continue facing the final stretch of the regular league with guarantees and optimism. Despite the injury problems that will still prevent some players from being there, for this day BAXI Manresa will already have its new signing, David Duke, who arrived this week in the capital of Bages.
For their part, Kosner Baskonia, one of the great teams in the league and champions of the Copa del Rey this season, is coming off a very good run. Paolo Galbiati's team has almost won its last 15 games and, under the guidance of their sports director Xevi Pujol, they have been rebuilding their squad with signings that have made a difference, despite the difficulty of playing in the league and Euroleague. The standouts of the squad are the wingers Trent Forrest (14.4 points and 4.6 assists) and Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot (18.8 points and 3.7 rebounds).
Diego Ocampo said in the preview this Thursday that "Baskonia is a team that when it gets on a good run, you melt, as has happened in Euroleague games; yesterday was a spectacle the way they played; they play a fairly characteristic defense that forces the managers to take a lot of responsibility; they give very few open 3-point shots because they are athletic; They also have a lot of talent for generating shots; we will have to think little about those who are not there and each one will do their job to the maximum, pass the ball well and select the shots well».
