DraftKings EuroLeague basketball picks October 14

DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:
Nando de Colo and Lorenzo Brown lead the charge for the guards again even if Shved plays. Part of it is the matchup. The other part is that de Colo has more points that any other guard on today’s slate through two games.
Scottie Wilbekin has been a stud so far this year too. Tel Aviv’s matchup isn’t as great, but it’s definitely good enough if you have the stones to fade Nando. You can probably get both into a lineup if you’re willing to be liberal with Khimki value, but if the game is canceled, you’re sunk.
This is the first time that I’m off of Facundo Campazzo so far this year. Even without Shved, Khimki has defended guards well. Malcolm Delaney is almost $1,000 cheaper and has a much better matchup. I don’t mind Sergio Rodriguez either, but Delaney is the priority.
Wade Baldwin, though priced up from last week, is still one of the best bargains on the slate. He’s still cheaper than Nihad Dedovic despite better production.
If chasing CSKA guards, you still want Daniel Hackett over Darrun Hilliard. This is a good matchup for both of them, but I think there are better options priced more reasonably.
The Khimki value is where you want to land. Vyechaslav Zatsyev and Dairis Bertans have been the best values around and they are still ridiculously cheap. If you don’t feel comfortable enough using them, I get it. Chris Jones is still a great value in this tier without the postponement risk.
It is worth noting that Bertans showed up as questionable with an undisclosed reason late last night. As much as I don’t want to, we may have to fade the Khimki game. This is getting canceled if Bertans has COVID as well.
