DraftKings EuroLeague basketball picks February 7

DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:

Alexey Shved was very good again on Wednesday, but he struggled against Belgrade the first time around. With Nick Calathes $1,000 cheaper with a much better matchup, I think I’ll build with Calathes today. He put up 41.75 DraftKings points in the first game against St. Petersburg. They aren’t as beaten up as they were earlier this week, but they’re close.

You know I like the Fenerbahce backcourt, but they were dogs against Tel Aviv the first time around. Both of them. After Lorenzo Brown’s horrendous outing on Wednesday, I’m very reluctant to use him and I don’t know that using Wilbekin is the best idea either with his price that high. There’s no one else above $9,000 that I like, which is pretty unusual.

Elijah Bryant is the guy you want if Wilbekin is out again. Assuming Wilbekin plays, I don’t think Bryant does enough to warrant the price. Taking a chance on Jimmer with a weak defense seems a better waste of money, especially considering he lit up St. Petersburg in the first meeting.

It was Kevin Punter who took over on Wednesday, not Brown. And Punter is a whole lot cheaper. Don’t mess with the bad matchups for Sykes and worrying about if Dedovic is going to play. Punter and Austin Hollins are cheap and both are coming off huge games.

Thomas Huertel has been back for two games and has 45.75 DraftKings points in 34 minutes in those games. I really like Huertel here against Milan, and he is also super cheap. As much as I like Albicy, Bray, and Tyrese Rice, there’s really no sense in taking a chance on them with Hollins, Punter, and Huertel as sure things at the same price.
