DraftKings EuroLeague basketball picks December 6
By Mike Marteny
DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:
I will usually play Tornike Shengelia no matter the matchup, but with him $1,000 more than Nikola Mirotic, that feels like overkill. Today I’d rather go with Mirotic in the better matchup. The real decision is deciding between Mirotic, Ayon, and Tonye Jekiri. Jekiri has the best matchup but has had three duds in a row. Ayon is the more consistent. Mirotic has the higher upside. Use whichever suits your needs.
Nikola Milutinov may be better than all of the above. Athens has been eaten alive by forwards this year and Milutinov has topped 30 DraftKings points in three of the last five rounds.

That lineup bomb of -1 DraftKings points on November 20 still haunts me, but if you take that out, Derrick Williams has at least 28 DraftKings points in the other four of the last five games. This is a great matchup against Berlin, so we may as well ride him again.
Janis Timma showed why we always play him last round. That upside far outweighs that of anyone else in the price range. However, he only had 23.25 DraftKings points in the last two rounds combined before he got hurt. Will he carry more of the scoring weight now that he’s healthy?
I don’t mind targeting the Fenerbahce front with Berlin, especially with Vesely out, but I’m going to do it with the cheaper players. Niels Giffey has been more consistent. So has Landry Nnoko. And they are both a lot cheaper than Sikma and Geidraitis. Sikma does have outstanding upside though.
It took Kostas Papanikolau a bit to get going, but he has 69 DraftKings points over the last three rounds. He’s a great cheap option right now until DraftKings catches on.
Joffrey Lauvergne has worked his way back into the starting lineup, but he’s not priced like it. Lauvergne has 55.25 DraftKings points over the last three rounds. His minutes will always remain somewhat limited, but he’s worth the price right now.
