DraftKings EuroLeague basketball picks November 20
By Mike Marteny
DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:
Nikola Mirotic is priced way above every other forward because he’s a lock to lead all forwards in scoring. There’s enough value at guard to get Mirotic in your lineups. Considering he hasn’t had less than 27 DraftKings points in any game this season, Mirotic should be a cash game lock. There’s more upside with others for GPP formats.
Don’t overpay for Bojan Dubljevic. Ante Zizic has been much better and more consistent and has a great matchup here. Zizic is one of my favorite plays on the entire slate. Enough so that I would fade Mirotic for him and not regret my decision.
Foul trouble struck Alex Poythress on Wednesday, but it didn’t knock his price down. Jan Vesely and Walter Tavares both look like better plays with the savings you get from them.
Johnny O’bryant has proven that he’s going to put up solid numbers no matter the matchup. He doesn’t have the highest ceiling, but he’s everything you want in a cash lineup.
On Wednesday is was Anthony Randolph and Gabriel Deck that wreaked havoc for the Real Madrid front. This is a crowded situation, much like the one in Baskonia. There are several solid players but no superstar. All of them are a risk, but for my dollar, Randolph is the most likely to have a solid floor and his price isn’t ridiculous. Be careful of super high ownership on Deck, but if he doesn’t start, his bust potential is as high or higher than his slate breaking potential.
Mateusz Ponitka is back up to his normal compliment of minutes, but his price hasn’t been adjusted yet. Now is the time to take advantage of that.
Derrick Williams showed a lot of that promise that made him a number 2 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft earlier this week. He has been wildly consistent even in the EuroLeague, but that’s a lot of upside at a very low price here.
