There are five games to go until the end of the ACB Regular Season. Having already qualified for the playoffs, Real Madrid go in search of another victory at the WiZink Center to finish as high up in the table as possible before the title play-offs, which begin at the end of May. It will be a tough game against Casademont Zaragoza, who are playing to avoid relegation 12:30pm CET.
 
Madrid conclude a week of 3 games in 6 days and this will be the last game of 10 in a very demanding month. The Whites are just one win away from the lead and face the team who are thirteenth in the table. Zaragoza have a record of 11 wins and 18 losses, but have won four of their last seven league games against Manresa, Gran Canaria, Valencia Basket and Breogán.
Chus Mateo's side will have to back up what the numbers say and highlight the existing difference between the two teams in terms of index rating 106.3 to 90.1. Madrid is one of the best offensive teams in the league with an average of 88.2 points, almost 10 more than Casademont Zaragoza. In terms of precedents, our team has won 30 of the 33 times they have faced each other. The most recent precedent in the first half of the season, however, ended in an Aragonese victory.

Zaragoza combines quality with a huge physical presence. They play with a lot of energy, are strong on the rebound and have very versatile players on the inside such as Mekowulu and Hlinason. They also have a solid perimeter with ex-Madrid player Yusta and Jovic. Madrid will call upon the services of players such as Deck and Musa, who both scored double figures in scoring and index rating in the last league game against Joventut, to secure the win.
