Murci vs Malaga Prediction: At the Palacio de Deportes de Murcia stadium tonight, UCAM Murcia and Unicaja Malaga will play in the semi-final of the 2023–24 Liga Endesa Playoffs. Murica won the first two games of the five-game series away from home.
This is the third meeting between the two teams. They appear to be playing without any pressure, as they want to win this home game and secure a spot in the Liga ACB final.
While Malaga completely underperformed in the first two games, it looks like they have lost confidence. However, the return of Kendrick Perry could help the visitors win this series.
