DraftKings EuroLeague basketball picks October 29
By Mike Marteny
DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:
Most of the big name guards are on Friday’s slate, but we still have the red-hot Scottie Wilbekin on here with a good matchup. He stands above Mike James in a poor matchup. Nando de Colo is fine for cash, but I don’t know that I would fade Wilbekin for him in any format.
Lorenzo Brown is the guy that is kind of in no man’s land as far as pricing. It’s a good matchup, but you have to compromise at forward if you run him.
Nemanja Nedovic had one of the best games of his career in round 5 and he has what could be a nice game against St. Petersburg if Pangos is out or limited. If Pangos plays, Wade Baldwin is again a favorite. His price is rising, but not the to point that I wouldn’t pay it.
If Cole and Pangos can go, both are worth a look unless they are on limits. The bad part about the EuroLeague is that we likely wont know until just before or just after their games lock. Both are huge risks even if it is announced that they will play.
Lukas Lekavicius is the only Zalgiris guard that has been anywhere close to consistent. The upside is there with Grigonis, but the floor is way too low for cash games.
Howard Sant-Roos has been putting up good numbers even in bad matchups. His price is low enough that even a floor game wont hurt you. Given the fact that he has at least 15 DraftKings points in all three games that Athens has played, I have no issues playing him against St. Petersburg.
Sam Van Rossom is one of the few players that can net you 20 in the bargain tier, but his floor has proven to be lower than last year. This week you may be better off chasing the upside of Kremen Prepelic.
I like K.C. Rivers more if Pangos is out, but his price is low enough that I would run him anyway if you need the value. Nick Weiler-Babb is probably a safer play if Pangos plays.
Guillem Vives has almost no upside coming off of the Valencia bench, but he has double digit DraftKings points in every game so far. No one else at this price point can claim that.
