DraftKings EuroLeague Basketball Picks October 10

Round two of the EuroLeague is here already. As in round 1, the lighter day for the DraftKings EuroLeague tournament is on Thursday. However, this is also a very top-heavy day with heavyweights Real Madrid, Tel Aviv, Fenerbahce, CSKA Moscow, and Athens all in action.

More from DraftKings

First of all, we need to get the injury news out of the way. Thursday was heavy on injuries last week, but it is by far the more healthy slate this week. Be sure to follow the Twitter handles of the teams to confirm the status of these guys, but here’s the news as of now:

Out: Theo Maledon, G, Villeurbanne

Questionable: Jaycee Carroll, G, Real Madrid; Thomas Bray, G, Bayern Munich; Jan Vesely, F, Fenerbahce; Kosta Koufos, F, CSKA Moscow; Joffrey Lauvergne, F, Fenerbahce; Josh Huestis, F, Bayern Munich; Felipe Reyes, F, Real Madrid; Nemanja Nenadic, F, Belgrade.

The only misses I really had last week was with Petteri Koponen and Michael Roll. The rest of the cash core and GPP plays did very well. I was one of the few on Maodo Lo. That helped me to the cash line up a couple of lineups.

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.
