DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:

Mike James has five straight rounds of over 40 DraftKings points, but this matchup with Real Madrid is a tough one. James only had 26.75 DraftKings points in the first meeting. I think he’ll be better here, but maybe not enough for the price. Alexey Shved‘s output has fluctuated a lot this year, but he seems the better play today.

De Colo struggled with Sloukas out last week. He is expected to play today, so both of them are in play. That said, I prefer Shane Larkin and his matchup with Milan. What makes Larkin the slam dunk is that Micic is going to be out. That leaves everything for Larkin, and he can carry the load. Krunoslav Simon also gets a boost in value.

Facundo Campazzo and Vassilis Spanoulis are the place to go for some consistent production. They are both pretty reasonably priced today as well. Martin Hermannsson is cheap and has been even more consistent. Not only that, he has the better matchup.

I’m a big fan of Elijah Bryant, but Stefan Jovic and his superb matchup are a lot better of a choice today. I also like Brandon Paul as a value pick.

The price is trending upward on Sam Van Rossom, but I still want to use him even though he was below 20 DraftKings points last round for the first time in over a month. The return of Jordan Loyd does have me a little bit nervous though. Is there anyone below Sam that may be even better?

If you don’t trust that situation, Marcus Eriksson has been almost as good at $500 less. If you need even more of a value play, Nicolas Laprovittola has six straight rounds of double digit DraftKings points for just $4,900.
