DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

Nikola Mirotic had his best game of the season against Tel Aviv in the first meeting, putting up 51 DraftKings points. If that’s not enough, Milutinov is still on this slate as well. However, he wasn’t effective last round and I kind of think the ankle is still bothering him.

There’s a bit of a hole at forward today with Dubljevic out. Giedraitis and Sikma have a bad matchup today as well. It makes a lot more sense to use Janis Timma or Georgios Printezis. I like Printezis quite a bit for the price.

Tonye Jekiri has a nice floor and his production is getting close to where it was earlier in the season. We know what he can do, so this price looks pretty reasonable. I feel the same about David Lighty too.

Vladimir Micov has been consitent enough lately to feel comfortable using him again. It’s been a while.

Jonas Jerebko is the guy that you want up front for Khimki. He was the best forward for Khimki in the first matchup with Valencia and he just put up a big game on St. Petersburg. Jerebko looks like the most reliable Khimki forward option today.

You don’t have to pay up for forwards today if you don’t want to. Papanikolaou, Brandon Davies, Adam Hanga, and Victor Claver are all putting up good numbers. I think I like Claver the most right now. He has had two strong games since his return at the beginning of January.

Adreian Payne had his best game of the season against Belgrade last week with 36 DraftKings points. I like the upside on Payne here. It seems clear that he’s the best forward Villeurbanne has. Charles Kahudi is a nice option on the cheap as well.

Jake Cohen doesn’t play much for minutes, but he puts up good numbers while he’s in there. Even with Hunter back, Cohen is still a decent value dart.

I really like Alberto Abalde with Dubljevic and Tobey out. Aaron Dornekamp is an excellent play as well. Even Louis Labeyrie could be worth a look. It’s all hands on deck up front for Valencia.
