DraftKings EuroLeague basketball picks March 4

DraftKings did it again, chopping off the noon eastern game. That leaves us just three games for our DraftKings EuroLeague tournaments. I am seriously considering quitting EuroLeague. These games only start an hour earlier. Why chop off the game? Three game slates are less fun and harder to gain separation. We lose the Fenerbahce and Belgrade game, which leaves off a ton of value. It’s disappointing. This three-game slate gets even smaller with these injuries.

Out: Nihad Dedovic (ankle), Thomas Huertel (ankle), Kevin Pangos (toe), Stefan Peno (knee), John DiBartolomeo (pectoral), Nate Wolters (hip), Luca Vildoza (shoulder), Jayson Granger (knee), Tim Schneider (back),

Questionable: Peyton Siva (elbow), Petteri Koponen (thigh), Makai Mason (undisclosed), Landry Nnoko (ankle), Tarik Black (knee), Ante Tomic (undisclosed), Johannes Thiemann (shoulder),

Larkin is expected to make his return here, but I’m not paying full price for him. I doubt that Efes runs him his normal 30 minutes. That makes it almost impossible for Larkin to hit value. Bryant Dunston played in a domestic league game this week but looked rusty in his 22 minutes. I’ll pass on him for the price as well.

Yesterday I was fine until Wade Baldwin jumped in and sucked, ruining my Zalgiris stack. It’s not often that one bad pick ruins the lineup in EuroLeague, but that was the case yesterday.

For DraftKings EuroLeague, we can’t expect 5x value like in the NBA. Most winning lineups are around 180-200 DraftKings points, which is around 3.5 – 4x value.
