Coosur Betis-Real Madrid: looking to clinch a league win ahead of Tel Aviv trip
Laso's men, who are already mathematically assured a place in the competition playoffs, go in search of their third win of the week (12:30pm CET).
Real Madrid are back in Endesa League action following a successful week which has yielded two wins over Maccabi already. Today's opposition is Coosur Real Betis 12:30pm CEST, who are playing to avoid relegation. Pablo Laso's men are already mathematically into the playoffs following UCAM Murcia's defeat in Bilbao and they will now go in search of a win over the Seville team before they head out to Tel Aviv.
The fine performance against Maccabi in the Euroleague which put them within touching distance of the Final Four, will have filled Madrid with confidence. Indeed, our boys will be hoping to extend their impressive run of form and pick up a fourth win on the bounce across the Endesa League and the Euroleague. Recent head-to-heads with the Andalusian outfit make for very pleasant reading for the madridistas, with eight successive wins, but they will have to guard against complacency given today's opponents have won their last three games.

Evans will be Betis' main focal point in offense. The point guard has been one of the sensations of the season in Spain and has averaged 19 points across his last three games. The hosts also boast some pretty impressive defensive numbers, recovering more than seven balls per game. The madridistas will also have to keep an eye on players of the like of Pasecniks, Wiley and Brown.
Hot on the triple
Victory for Laso's boys surely lies in dominating the paint and imposing themselves on the rebound, just as Poirier showed with 10 last time out against Maccabi at the Palacio. Another key area at the San Pablo will be the three-point line. Our team have managed a 44.4% success rate on the triple over the last three games, thanks in no small part to players like Causeur, Williams-Goss and Llull.
