Coviran Granada-Real Madrid: we look to keep the winning streak going
Chus Mateo's side kick off November in search of their eighth consecutive league win (12:30pm CET).
After an impeccable start to the season, with a run of 14 consecutive victories, Real Madrid begin the third month of competition with a visit to Coviran Granada for LaLiga game eight. The Whites will be looking to maintain their lead as well as their undefeated status.
After a brilliant October, a tough November awaits the madridistas, who are to play nine games. Today's game will be their fourth league outing, following wins at Manresa +6, Girona +19 and Tenerife +6. Last season, on our first league visit to the Palacio de los Deportes in Granada, we won by 20 points 62-82 thanks to outstanding performances from Tavares and Musa. It has been an unusual week for Chus Mateo's side, with the postponement of their Euroleague clash with Maccabi giving them almost a week to prepare.

The Andalusians' only win so far came against Casademont Zaragoza two rounds ago, but they are a competitive team four defeats by six points or less and have the fourth-best attack in the competition, averaging 86.8 points. Five players carry the offensive load: Costa, Thomasson and Kramer on the outside and Cheatham and Felicio on the inside given that they account for 76% of the team's total points.
Everyone plays their part
This is in contrast to the leaders, where all of our players contribute, with six of them scoring more than double digits. Among them, Tavares, named October's MVP with averages of 13.3 points, 9.7 in rebounds and a 23.3 PIR. We are the only side to exceed triple digits in PIR 113.1. Our offensive power will be key, averaging 92.3 points against an opponent that concedes an average of 90 points per game.
