DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

If Sikma can’t go, Rokas Giedraitis is going to see high ownership. You know what? I’ll be on that wagon. Giedraitis is usually a strong play anyway. Give him a good matchup and extra usage and he could come up huge for Berlin. Landry Nnoko is a great value pick if Sikma misses this game.

Forget what the matchup says. Georgios Printezis has at least 30 DraftKings points in three of the last four rounds and has been over 24 in five straight. He’s as safe as anyone at the top of the frontcourt today. I trust him over Shengelia today.

The loss of Randolph may mean a little more usage for Walter Tavares, but he relies more on defense than offense. The real winner of the gutted Real Madrid frontcourt should be Jordan Mickey and Gabriel Deck. Maybe Thompkins, but I don’t trust him at all.

I like this matchup for Gustavo Ayon so long as Sikma is out. Ayon had issues with Sikma the first time around, so keep that in mind. The matchup is good overall, but Ayon has had issues with consistency this year. Will Thomas and Tim Abromaitis are the safer picks and they are a lot cheaper.

This isn’t a great matchup for Nikola Milutinov, but he doesn’t rely on scoring for his value. He averages nearly a full rebound more than anyone else in the league. That kind of floor makes Milutinov worth a look.

Jonas Jerebko has back to back games over 30 DraftKings points, put up 28.5 in the first meeting with Milan, and may be absorbing some of the production of Timma. There’s nothing not to like about Jerebko here today. He will be in many of my builds.

If I trusted the playing time of Tonye Jekiri, I would use him. He went for 31.5 DraftKings points in the first meeting against Olympiacos, but he has been at 20 or less DraftKings points six times in the last ten rounds. Vladimir Micov is a better selection at the same price, though he doesn’t have quite the upside.

Jan Vesely has played like a man possessed since missing all of most of November, all of December, and part of January with an injury. Vesely has at least 24 DraftKings points in four straight and hasn’t been under 16 since his return six rounds ago. This is a better matchup than it looks with Real Madrid thinned up front.

Luis Scola had his best game of the season in the first meeting with Khimki and has been a solid contributor even in lesser minutes of late. Scola has at least 12 DraftKings points in eight straight and has been in double digits in the last dozen. That’s a decent floor.
