DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

I don’t care what the price is or who the matchup is for Nikola Mirotic right now. Mirotic may slow down a little once Barcelona gets healthy, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Barcelona didn’t throw all that money at Mirotic for him to give up opportunities to everyone else. He is the guy.

You could make a case to fade Mirotic for another Nikola: Milutinov. Milutinov led the EuroLeague in double doubles last year and has two to start this season.

I’m a little nervous about using Bryant Dunston with as well as the Efes guards are playing, but if he’s going to continue to play 30 or more minutes per game, he can’t be ignored.

Olympiacos has a really tough front so even if Ayon plays, I’m avoiding it. However, I would probably move off of Georgios Printezis if Ayon plays.

I was thinking that after a couple of rounds we might have some idea of how Berlin was going to handle the frontcourt rotations. It’s not much clearer now than it was two rounds ago. Luke Sikma has been the best producer so far. Landry Nnoko may be the most consistent. There are five guys who get good minutes though, so it makes it kind of tough.

Brock Motum was a big time value guy last season, and it looks like he is once again. Motum picked up 21 and 14 DraftKings points in the first two rounds, and he’s still under $6,000.
