DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:
Guard is loaded at the top today. Forward has some good options, but they are nothing compared to the guards and the matchups. Put in that context, I wouldn’t pay up for any forwards today. The first one I would even consider is Vladimir Micov. He has back-to-back games over 30 DraftKings points and a superb matchup against Valencia.
Trey Thompkins is still a solid play, but I don’t like the matchup. The inconsistency of the CSKA front is off-putting. This is a day where I wish I could run four guards instead of four forwards.
David Lighty is worth running in just about any game because he remains rather consistent. The rest of the middle tier is a trap for the most part.
The value tier has a few nice plays in it, headlined by Mike Tobey. He and Louis Labeyrie have been the best Valencia forwards since the break. They are mostly low-risk options.
Jeffrey Taylor is another low-risk play with the injuries for Real Madrid up front and he’s super cheap. That’s the ticket to getting James and Calathes.
