The team from Málaga will visit the court of Covirán Granada, currently at the bottom of the ACB standings, in a game scheduled for Sunday at 12:30 PM. Victory is crucial for Unicaja, who needs to secure their presence in the final phase of the competition, especially with Surne Bilbao close behind in the standings.

The team approaches the match with several confirmed absences, including Tyler Kalinoski and Nihad Djedovic. However, Tyson Pérez is expected to return. The participation of Kendrick Perry and Olek Balcerowski is uncertain, and David Kravish's status will be decided at the last minute.

Despite the recent improvement in Covirán Granada's play, Unicaja is the clear favorite. The difference in talent and squad depth between the two teams should be decisive for the win to go to Málaga, allowing Unicaja to end their poor run and face the coming weeks with a virtually secured play-off spot, ahead of the BCL Final Four.

The main threat from Covirán Granada is Luka Bozic, who leads the Liga Endesa in efficiency rating. The Croatian power forward stands out for his ability to draw fouls and score from the free-throw line, being the player who receives the most fouls and attempts and converts the most free throws in the competition. His performance has been exceptional, stringing together high-rated games and establishing himself as a key figure for the Nazarí team.

Unicaja will have significant support from its fans in Granada, with three full buses and numerous private car travelers making the trip to cheer on the team. Historical statistics also favor the Málaga side, who have won all seven encounters against Covirán Granada since their promotion to the Liga Endesa in 2022.
