DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

Nikola Mirotic is by far the best frontcourt option, but is he $3,000 better than Bojan Dubljevic? I doubt it. Dublejevic actually outscored Mirotic in DraftKings points in the first meeting. With so many guards out for Valencia, we could see Dubljevic take on an even larger role. I may not use Mirotic at all! Dublejevic seems the far better value today.

The Athens front is kind of a mess to figure out, but they do have a good matchup. Deshaun Thomas almost dropped 40 DraftKings points on Belgrade the first time around. He’s the only sure thing. Papapetrou and Papagiannis are both solid options but can leave you wanting more.

Gustavo Ayon and Will Thomas should both see a boost with Ponitka and Iverson both out. Andrey Zubkov played well in the domestic league game over the weekend, so he’s worth a flier here with the injuries up front. And he’s really, really cheap.

I haven’t been using Othello Hunter much lately, but that may change here. With Gill out, Hunter should be able to have his way on an already weak front.

The Fenerbahce front isn’t one of the more prolific, but this could be the time to use Jan Vesely and/or Luigi Datome with St. Petersburg thin up front. It seems safer to me than playing roulette with the Khimki front. Jonas Jerebko is really the only one I moderately trust. Datome and Vesely have been far more consistent. I would still trust Nikola Kalinic more than anyone from Khimki.

If Mike Tobey is unable to play, that likely saps the value of both Alberto Abalde and Aaron Doornekamp. I do like Doornekamp, I just don’t know if we can trust his minutes if Tobey is back.

The Tel Aviv front isn’t where we usually look for value, but Quincy Acy and Jake Cohen are both cheap and both consistent hit double digit DraftKings points. They aren’t going to change a slate, but they are turning out to be safe value picks.
