DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

Ioannis Papapetrou is by far the best option at forward today. It’s just a bonus that his price is this low. Alex Abrines has a better matchup and perhaps a higher ceiling, but it’s hard to move off of Papapetrou with how he has played in the early going.

Barcelona spread the production of Mirotic out throughout the entire lineup. Five players scored in double digits. Brandon Davies probably had the biggest uptick in production outside of Abrines, and is likely less of a risk.

If Tibor Pleiss continues to start, he’s worth keeping an eye on. I don’t like the matchup against Efes, but Pleiss as a starter can be a force. Tuesday showed that.

This is an equally tough matchup for Adrien Moerman, but I trust him a little more than Pleiss. Georgios Papagiannis is better than playing roulette with the Efes front. The guards dominate that team.

Joffrey Lauvergne returned strong from a positive COVID test in round 3. This is a tough matchup, but much with the guards, Lauvergne is too talented to have this price.

Roland Smits was an absolute monster and Tuesday and is going to carry high ownership. The issue is that Barcelona has a ton of talented forwards and there is no guarantee that Smits can replicate that line. I’ll chase it at least once though. Smits is still too cheap.
