The rotations can be frustrating sometimes as more players see the court than in your average NBA game. The games themselves are also shorter, playing four ten minute quarters as opposed to 12 minutes in the NBA. The court is smaller, the lane is bigger, and the three point line is closer, but the action is still what you would expect from world class basketball!
For DraftKings EuroLeague, we can’t expect 5x value like in the NBA. Most winning lineups are around 180-200 DraftKings points, which is around 3.5 – 4x value.

Guards:
Mike James is taking over for Alexey Shved. Not only is he the highest priced player around, but he should be. James has at least 33 DraftKings points in eight of the last nine rounds. This is a great matchup against Gran Canaria as well. This looks like a day to ride James, especially if Nedovic is out again.
It’s a big drop off after James. Nate Wolters has at least 30 DraftKings points in three of the last four games, and has a nice matchup with Olympiacos. Ray McCallum has a nice matchup as well, and has been a one man gang for Darussafaka.
I do like Scottie Wilbekin, but he has been nowhere near 3x value in the last month or so. Vassilis Spanoulis is the way to go in this tier.
Normally I stay away from tough matchups, but it’s hard to pass on what Nemanja Gordic is doing. Gordic has 91.25 DraftKings points over the last three rounds alone. Deandre Kane is probably the safer pick for those of you playing cash games.
Charles Jenkins was the only Khimki guard that picked up any slack in the first game with Shved out. This is a tough matchup on paper against Munich, but Jenkins is worth this low price as the only Khimki guard I trust.
Janis Strelnieks is back to being a pretty strong value pick for Olympiacos, but he has company this week. Nikola Radicevic and Albert Oliver are carrying the bulk of the load for Gran Canaria with Luke Nelson and Clevin Hannah out. Muhammad Baygul is a solid value pick with double digit DraftKings points in each of the last three rounds.
Forwards:
Brandon Davies is the only guy I would consider fading James for, and I’m going to try to cram both of them in. Davies has 96.75 DraftKings points over the last two rounds. What does he think this is, the NBA? No one else can come close to his production lately, but Arturas Gudaitis could come close with a great matchup against Gran Canaria today. How much will Vladimir Micov poach of his production though?

Jordan Mickey wasn’t quite the beast that Khimki was hoping for with Shved out, but his production didn’t suffer. That’s something most of the team can’t say. Anthony Gill and Malcolm Thomas are the guys that upped their scoring, and are probably the ones we need to go after.
Earl Clark continues to put up strong line after strong line. He doesn’t have the upside that some of the Khimki frontcourt does, but Clark is the way to go in cash games because of his consistency.
This is a smash spot for former number 2 pick Derrick Williams. This is a superb matchup against Khimki, and Williams has averaged 25 points per round over the last month. Teammate Vladimir Lucic has been almost as strong over that span as well.
Johnny O’Bryant put up yet another 20+ DraftKings points round. Now he has a great matchup against Darussafaka, and he looks pretty cheap today. Jeff Brooks could be in for a big game as well.
Tarik Black continues to be a force up front for Tel Aviv. He is not playing huge minutes, but Black is producing when called on. So is Alex Tyus, with Tyus being slightly more consistent despite a little bit fewer minutes. Adam Hanga has a tougher matchup, but he is still worth a look because of the playing time.
Danilo Nikolic has quietly put up 77 DraftKings points over the last four rounds. Mindaugas Kuzminskas has a great matchup, but his sporadic output has me shying away.
The only value pick that I’m really interested in is Suad Sehovic. Sehovic has 47.25 DraftKings points over the last four games. Janis Timma has more upside, but he is nowhere near as consistent.
