DraftKings EuroLeague basketball picks March 3

DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:
Alexey Shved is even $1,500 more than Nick Calathes right now. Shved put up 34.5 DraftKings points on Zalgiris the first time around. Calathes put up 45 Olympiacos. Shved has been running hot lately, so it’s hard to fade him. Calathes is still playing well, but he hasn’t topped 40 DraftKings points since January 31. Shved did last week. I think we need to build with one of them. In cash Shved is more of a sure thing.
Real Madrid is dealing with another rash of injuries, but that shouldn’t hurt Facundo Campazzo. Campazzo put up 33.5 DraftKings points in the first game against Milan and Sergio is likely out today. This high price is a little bit concerning, but you can’t say Campazzo hasn’t earned it.
I can’t argue with the consistency of Thomas Walkup since Grigonis went down. I just don’t know that I want to pay five figures for it. I suppose in cash it’s okay, but there is better upside just above or below him.
Don’t pay the inflated price on Quino Colom. He hasn’t been that good. Sam Van Rossom is back. Use him instead. Even if SVR doesn’t start or is limited, I would use Vanja Marinkovic over Colom.
This is a great matchup for Wade Baldwin. He finally seems acclimated to Olympiacos as shown by the 48 DraftKings points over the last two games. He’s far more consistent than Brandon Paul.
Tyrese Rice torched Olympiacos the first time around, but he has only played 20 minutes once in the last five rounds. I want more before I go back to him, especially when you have Jaycee Carrolll, Marinkovic, and Arturas Milaknis all making noise at lower prices.
