DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:

This is a tougher matchup for Jordan Loyd, but he’s averaging more than five fantasy points per game more than anyone else. He’s a tough fade here no matter the matchup. Scottie Wilbekin is solid but has nowhere hear the upside of Loyd.

Malcolm Delaney makes his return from an ankle injury, but he hasn’t played in a month. There’s a chance that Milan limits his minutes in a two round week. His return also limits the upside of Sergio Rodriguez. So does the return of Kevin Punter. The price is too high on all of these guys with the possible exception of Punter.

Tyler Dorsey’s awful game against Fenerbahce has still kept his price low. Too low, as it may be. Dorsey is a strong play with a higher floor than anyone but Loyd or Wilbekin at a much lower price. The same thing with Elijah Bryant if you want to stack Tel Aviv guards.

Jayson Granger has a better matchup and a higher ceiling than the Tel Aviv duo. His floor is a little lower, but I still trust Granger more than the lower tier of expensive guards.

I really like Maodo Lo on the cheap with Siva still out. Marcus Eriksson is solid, but Lo does a lot more in fewer minutes off the bench.

The Villeurbanne guard situation with Cole out is tough. Antoine Diot is in a good spot, but he’s inconsistent. Allerik Freeman has a short leash. If his shots aren’t falling, he lands back on the bench quickly. Paul Lacombe only gets decent minutes if Freeman goes cold. It either Diot or nothing for me, I think.
