DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:

Lorenzo Brown is the highest priced guard on the slate. You can go ahead an complain about the inflation, but Brown has  at least 39 DraftKings points in three straight games. It’s a baseless complaint. Brown should be the highest priced, and he’s my favorite play on the slate.

That’s not to say that Kostas Sloukas and Nando de Colo haven’t been very strong plays as well. They have a superb matchup today and are both putting up pretty big numbers. I don’t like to fade Brown, but if I can find enough value, I’ll run the Fenerbahce guards with Brown. I find it hard to fade Brown on this slate though.

Thomas Walkup has played well with Grigonis out for the most part. However, I think I’d rather run Brown and the super consistent Billy Baron as a pivot to the Fenerbahce guards. I may even mix them up and use Brown with Nando in one and Baron with Sloukas in the other.

I prefer the consistency of Cory Higgins, but Malcolm Delaney has huge upside for someone under $9,000. When it comes down to it though. Alex Renfroe has offered the consistency of Higgins with the upside of Delaney at a lower price than both. That caveat is that his floor is single digits.

I hate the matchup for Brandon Paul, but his upside is appealing. I may use Quino Colom even if Vives is back. Colom has played well enough with Vives out to remain the starter, and he’s still just $7,000.

I’m still a sucker for Sam Van Rossum. There’s not much upside, but he is very consistent no matter the matchup and he’s still underpriced. He’s everything you need in a value pick even if you aren’t aware that you want it.
