DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

I don’t like the matchup for Nikola Mirotic here, and it’s easier to fade him when he has not hit 30 DraftKings points for a couple of rounds. I wouldn’t be shocked if that streak extended to three, so I’m fine fading him for Nikola Milutinov in a better matchup. Oh, and Milutinov has cleared 30 DraftKings points in each of the last two rounds.

It’s really hard to move off of Gustavo Ayon with the matchup and his price under $10,000. His ceiling has been a lot lower than Milutinov’s lately though. Do you go for the upside or the consistency?

It took a while, but Jock Landale’s price is finally up where it should be. He has the upside to get close to 40 DraftKings points in a round, but his floor is lower than most of his peers in this price range. Still, Zalgiris has shown no signs of holding Landale back. That low floor may be a thing of the past.

I told you forward was loaded. Vladimir Lucic has a tough matchup, but is a very consistent piece. Bojan Dubljevic has seen a price decrease despite two strong rounds in a row. Dubljevic has a very nice matchup here, and I find him underpriced on this slate. He will be in all of my builds.

There are going to be a lot of people jumping on Adam Hanga after his monster game last round, but I’m tapping the brakes. Hanga still played just 24 minutes and he has a very tough mathcup here. I’ll go with the consistency of Zach LeDay. He and Landale have been great up front for Zalgiris.

Georgios Printezis has two big games in a row, but I want to know how Mateusz Ponitka is cheaper. the upside with Ponitka is higher and the floor is a lot lower. On top of that, the matchup is better.

Edgaras Ulanovas is the more well known value play, but with the way Louis Labeyrie has played, I’d rather use him. Mike Tobey is also worth a look if you plan on using four forwards.
