DraftKings EuroLeague basketball picks December 17

Round 14 of DraftKings EuroLeague play starts early this week. This is a two round week. The larger part of round 14 is today with five of the nine games. We have a few injuries affecting things, so let’s see what we know so far.

Out: Bryant Dunston (arms), Marius Grigonis (foot), Jan Vesely (knee), Sergio Llull (thigh), Nemanja Nedovic (thigh), Adreian Payne (foot), Guillem Vives (leg), Kevin Pangos (toe), Felipe Reyes (thigh), Rokas Jokubaitis (ankle), Patricio Garino (knee), Jayson Granger (knee).

Questionable: Ioannis Papapetrou (thumb), Victor Claver (foot).

Calathes left the domestic league game over the weekend with knee soreness, but he is expected to play today. However, there’s a good chance he will sit one of the two games this week. Keep an eye on this. The rest of the report is pretty straight forward though, so hopefully we don’t have any last-minute surprises.

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.
