DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

Tornike Shengelia had a nice debut for CSKA. This is a really good matchup for Shengelia and Will Clyburn. The rotation for CSKA should be a little tighter than in round 1 with the positive tests on the team.

Derrick Williams was by far the best player on the court for Valencia in the opener. Expect that to be the case again. Williams and Mike Tobey played very well. The revolving door at the guard spots makes them hard to rely on, but the forwards are pretty set here.

Othello Hunter put up another good game for Tel Aviv in round 1, but he has some friends now. Ante Zizic played well in his return to the EuroLeague, but the real star was Angelo Caloiaro. He is way too cheap for what he did in round 1.

Edgaras Ulanovas played a lot and played well in round 1. The offense ran more through him that veteran Jan Vesely. I’m a huge fan of Ulanovas for the price. Vesely is the safer play, but he’s also a lot more expensive.

Not much went right for the Efes front in a stunning loss to St. Petersburg. One of the few things that did was Adrien Moerman. The guards are the go-to guys on this team, but Moerman played well enough to warrant using for the price.
