DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:

There isn’t even really a debate on whether to play Alexey Shved or not. If he’s healthy, figure out how to get him in the lineup. He’s averaging almost 40 DraftKings points per round, which is unheard of in the EuroLeague.

Shane Larkin is no longer a free space on FanDuel. There’s no need to worry about workload either. Larkin played 31 minutes in his return. Expect him to play around that today as well. Larkin has the highest ceiling of any player in the league. The floor is a little lower, but you can’t do much better than Larkin in GPP formats.

Mike James is another elite option, but with his tough matchup and the other great options available make this an acceptable fade. The production of Micic went down with the return of Larkin, so if you are paying for an elite guard, it should be Shved or Larkin depending on what kind of contest you enter.

There’s no need to play roulette with Nemanja Nedovic when you can get the consistent production of Pierria Henry at the same price. I also love Wade Baldwin in this tier but take it for what you will. I’ve been a fan of Baldwin since he was at Vanderbilt. I just like the way he plays. His ceiling is almost as high as Nedovic and the floor is much higher.

Unless you play on living in the middle tier, we need some value. Fortunately, we have some. Luca Vildoza is the most consistent value pick around. He rarely hurts you and consistently flirts with 20 DraftKings points. Shelvin Mack is also way too cheap on this slate. His price will adjust eventually, but he’ll get you a lot for $7,100 on this slate.

Errick McCollum is one of the best pure shooters in the EuroLeague, but you might get a game out of him like you had last week where he actually lost points. He’s a huge risk, but the price is great for a guy that could drop 30.

Howard Sant-Roos is the anti-McCollum. His ceiling is low but his floor is high. He’s a great value in cash games.
