DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:

Vasilije Micic is very expensive, but he appears worth it. After only averaging 4.8 three point attempts per game last season, Micic has hoisted up 19 already through two rounds. Even with Shane Larkin back, Micic had a huge game. Both of them are elite plays against Valencia today.

The play of Vassilis Spanoulis might be the only reason I don’t stack the Efes guards. We need at least one value guard, so with only three possibly guard slots, it makes it nearly impossible. There isn’t enough value at forward to pull it off.

The return of Peyton Siva cut into the production of Hermannsson a bit in round 2. To the point where I don’t know if I want to pay up for either of them. Siva has the most upside. Hermannsson is the safer option.

Kevin Punter isn’t as much of a value option anymore, but he’s still a really good option. I still think the price is low on DraftKings while he is still starting and producing.

All of the questionable tags at the guard slots can open up some interesting value, but not for the guys behind the starters. More for the guys that might play. Beaubois, Ribas, and even Eriksson are cheap if they play.

I don’t really like the matchup for St. Petersburg, but for the price, Alex Renfroe and Evgeny Voronov could be nice bargains.

If all of the questionable Barcelona guards sit, I like Leandro Bolmaro. If any of them play, I don’t think we can trust the minutes. Even with all the injuries, Bolmaro only played 17 minutes last week.
