DraftKings European League Basketball Picks April 24

More from DraftKings

We are back with Game 3’s of the Euro League playoffs. These are all best of five series, so Fenerbahce and CSKA Moscow can sweep early this week.

We have a lot less players to choose from with only four teams in action at a time. The value picks are going to be all the more important.

The cash line in the EuroLeague is usually right around 150 DraftKings points. It’s become higher than that in the playoffs. The cash line was down in the 130’s on Friday, but this is the slate that has been producing the larger numbers.

Guards:

Vassilis Spanoulis and Kostas Sloukas are much safer than Kevin Pangos in the upper tier. Pangos has a lower floor, and Spanoulis has a higher ceiling. Sloukas is the most consistent of the three. Most will choose to build around Spanoulis because he topped 40 DraftKings points in Game 1.

After a quiet end to the regular season, Brad Wanamaker has played well in the first two games of the series against Baskonia. Wanamaker has 63 DraftKings points over the two games, and is a nice pivot off the top tier if that’s what you’re looking for.

Even if Jayson Granger plays, I’m not sure how much of an impact he can have. I’m still taking Matt Janning. Janning has put up 42.75 DraftKings points in the first two games, which is an exceptional value in this range. Luca Vildoza has had two really good games to open the series, but the value disappears if Granger ends up playing. Keep an eye on this situation if you use Vildoza.

Vasilije Micic put up big numbers in Game 2. He played well in Game 1 as well, so Zalgiris is giving him extra run lately. However, teammate Arturas Milaknis is putting up as good of numbers for about $800 cheaper. Still, Vangelis Mantzaris is a more productive value pick. I would only use Micic or Milaknis if moving off of Janning.

Forwards:

Tornike Shengelia put up yet another game in the 20’s for DraftKings points. He is about as consistent as they come, but Shengelia still lacks the upside to help you take down a GPP. Georgios Printezis is putting up about the same numbers, and has a bit higher ceiling for a lower price.

Jan Vesely is actually cheaper than he was in Game 2, despite putting up good numbers once again. Vesely has actually outperformed the two in front of him so far in the playoffs, but he doesn’t have much for upside.

Rodrigue Beaubois has 51 DraftKings points over the two games of the playoffs. These are the first back to back 20+ games for Beaubois since Februrary 22nd and March 1st. Can he keep this up?

Brandon Davies has been huge lately In the three straight games against Olympiacos. Davies has 101 DraftKings points in that span, which makes him more productive than both Vesely and Shengelia over the last three games.

Ioannis Papapetrou has been very good for Olympiacos lately. He has not been under 17 DraftKings points in any of the last five games. However, it was Jamel McLean that had the bigger game in Game 2. McLean is probably the better GPP play, but I like Papapetrou in cash games.
