DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

Mirotic was average in his first meeting with Fenerbahce. It may be too optimistic to expect much more here, but Mirotic hasn’t been under 32 DraftKings points in a round since before Christmas. He’s safer than Derrick Williams, who was an absolute disaster against Barcelona the first time around.

Walter Tavares has picked up right where Anthony Randolph left off. Trey Thompkins has also been outstanding up front since Randolph went down. Today the tandem enjoys the best matchup they have seen without Randolph. It’s not out of line to expect a strong game from both of them. Even Jordan Mickey could enjoy one of his better games here.

Vladimir Micov remains a consistent force up front for Milan, but he’s not really going to get you a big game. That’s just not his game. If you are looking for that in the mid-range today, Luigi Datome may be the way to go.

Micov’s frontcourt mate, Arturas Gudaitis, has been putting up almost the same numbers as Micov. His floor is frighteningly low, but if you can get Micov’s production at almost $2,000 less, that’s a huge boost to your lineup. Micov just doesn’t carry much risk with him.

It has come to the point where I wouldn’t even mess with Adam Hanga right now. Victor Claver gets you a better floor with almost as much upside for much less and much less of a headache. Even Kyle Kuric is safer than Hanga at this juncture.
