Saski Baskonia vs BC Dubai 13 October 2026 Prediction

Dubai heads to Baskonia after a road loss to Fenerbahce and a home loss to Crvena Zvezda. The UAE club also lost in Vitoria-Gasteiz last season. With its offense struggling, Dubai will need a better performance to win this one.

Baskonia Is Inconsistent but Tough at Home

Paolo Galbiati's team favors offense and gives up plenty of points. Baskonia allows a EuroLeague-high 96.3 points per game this season, but it also scores 86.8, outscoring half the teams in the top 10. That approach can be costly, though Baskonia remains a difficult opponent at home even after leading scorer Luwawu-Cabarrot left for Real Madrid in the offseason.

Baskonia Predicted Lineup: Stewart, Simmons, Duarte, Kurucs, Sedekerskis

Manager: Paolo Galbiati

Dubai's Strong Start Has Stalled

Xavi Pascual's team opened EuroLeague play with home wins over Real Madrid and Barcelona. Dubai avenged a 78-77 EuroLeague Super Cup loss to Real Madrid, then beat Barcelona 94-87. Its offense has since slowed: Dubai lost 76-66 to Fenerbahce and 77-58 to Crvena Zvezda.

Dubai Predicted Lineup: Okobo, Bacon, Blossomgame, Wright, Kabengele

The Teams Split Their Home Games Last Season

Baskonia won 92-85 in Vitoria-Gasteiz, while Dubai won the return game 100-94 at Coca-Cola Arena.

Baskonia vs Dubai Prediction: Baskonia Handicap +6.5

Main pick: Dubai's home wins over Real Madrid and Barcelona were followed by a road loss to Fenerbahce and a heavy home defeat against Crvena Zvezda. Baskonia's defense gives Dubai a chance to win, but Dubai's recent offensive struggles and last season's result in Vitoria-Gasteiz support the home team covering. The pick is Baskonia +6.5 at 1.77.

Team total pick: Dubai scored fewer than 70 points against both Fenerbahce and Crvena Zvezda in October. Baskonia's pace should create more possessions, but reaching 92 points on the road looks difficult given Dubai's recent play on offense. Dubai scored 85 in Vitoria-Gasteiz last season. The pick is Dubai team total under 91.5 points at 1.90.
