DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:

Alexey Shved is the best play at any position, but he’s also $2,300 more than anyone else. His first game against Villeurbanne wasn’t a very good one since he only played 25 minutes. There’s always a chance that happens again, and that would be my main caution against using Shved. He’s either going to get you 40 or 25. I’m not sure there’s an in between.

Milan is mostly back at full strength again, but I don’t know if that hurts Sergio Rodriguez. He put up 33.75 DraftKings points in the first game against Zalgiris and has had a very strong month of February. I think I’m going to run Sergio once and Nando in the other. De Colo put up 44.5 DraftKings points on Valencia last time, and that was before their backcourt was gutted like a walleye.

Thomas Walkup had one of his best games of the year in the first game against Milan. So did Lukas Lekavicius. I’m liking this underrated guard stack more and more because I think many will flock to Fenerbahce. However, Sloukas is mired in an awful slump. I don’t trust Walkup though. If you only want one Zalgiris guard, I recommend Lekavicius.

Jordan Taylor was outstanding against Khimki in the first meeting, but I find it hard to trust him with the emergence of Theo Maledon. I also don’t trust him. Value at guard is tough, and I find myself looking at the decimated Valencia backcourt again. Quino Colom is the only healthy guard that’s going to play heavy minutes.

The best value at guard is Nemanja Nedovic. I have no idea how he is still this cheap, but I’m taking advantage of it. Nedovic has 42.75 DraftKings points over the last two games.
