DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:

Guard on this slate is absolutely loaded. I might use Alexey Shved every slate from now on. Even when cold from the field, Shved still racked up 36.5 DraftKings points. It’s tough to fade him in any format right now.

Shane Larkin’s floor is a little lower, but the ceiling is higher. Larkin is one of the elite scorers in the EuroLeague. Pierria Henry is always worth consideration because he’s a double-double waiting to happen. Those aren’t common on the other side of the pond, so that bonus is quite nice.

I’m always a sucker for Wade Baldwin, which means about every two or three rounds he single-handedly ends one of my lineups. Don’t be like me. Play the more consistent Nick Calathes or Krunoslav Simon in a superb matchup.

A tough matchup against Real Madrid looms for Norris Cole, but his price reflects that. I still like him for the price and his consistency.

Sergio Llull is still way too cheap with Facundo Campazzo bound for the States. Yeah, he’ll never be the player he was from his MVP seasons again, but Llull is still capable of putting up good numbers in less minutes. The upside is huge for this price.

The ceiling on Errick McCollum is higher because he can put up points in a hurry. The issue is that his floor is a trap door if the shots aren’t falling.

I wouldn’t trust any Berlin value until we know the status of Dedovic. Thomas Huertel and Cory Higgins seem safer anyway. Huertel is still cheap since he is working his way back from missing nearly all of last year. He has put up some good and bad lines, but for me the potential outweighs the risk at that low of a price.
