Real Madrid-Urbas Fuenlabrada: all eyes on another WiZink Center win
Laso's boys play Endesa League matchday 26 (12:30pm CET).
Real Madrid are back at the WiZink Center for another Endesa League fixture on matchday 26. Following two demanding Euroleague games on the road this week, our team host Urbas Fuenlabrada 12:30pm CET as they look for their eighth home win in the domestic championship.
Pablo Laso's team will be up against tough opposition who are playing for a playoff place themselves. The all-time head-to-head makes hugely positive reading for the madridistas, who have won 47 of the 54 meetings between the two. Madrid have won the last 17 in a row against Fuenlabrada on home turf.

Raventós' team, who got the better of UCAM Murcia last time out in the league, are a well balanced side in all positions. At point guard, they have Novak, the competition's second-top assist-maker averaging 6.3 per game, but their key man is Emegano, one of the leading point-scorers at 16.5 points per game.
Fight in the paint
It's sure to be a real battle under the post, where Tavares and Poirier will be key men once again from a defensive point of view, particularly on the rebound, where Laso are especially strong 26.7. They'll be up against Kyle Alexander, who is scoring 11.4 points and taking 2.7 offensive rebounds per game. Up the other end, Yabusele and Deck, among others, will look to make the difference in order to tip the balance in the hosts' favor.
