DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

Nikola Mirotic is always going to give you a good score no matter the matchup, but he hasn’t shown that huge slate-breaking upside that guys like Larkin and Shved have. Mirotic is probably best suited for cash games, especially when the matchup isn’t great.

This could be a day to stack the Munich frontcourt. Khimki has allowed the most fantasy points in the league to opposing forwards and they may be without the services of Booker again. If only using one, I prefer Vladimir Lucic, but you can’t go wrong with both either.

I’m not really in any hurry to run Khimki pieces back against them either, at least not up front. Jonas Jerebko is okay, but I don’t trust Monroe in a matchup like this.

The Real Madrid front is a great plan B, and I would argue that Walter Taveras and Anthony Randolph are much more consistent than Lucic and Monroe. It’s a good way to get off the high ownership of Lucic as well.

If you don’t want to pay top dollar to get a piece of the Munich front, then Paul Zipser is the guy for you. The former Bull is playing well across the pond this season. Zipser isn’t super cheap and doesn’t have a ton of upside, but he’s a strong play in this price range.

David Lighty has been a lot better than Moustapha Fall lately and I would much rather use Lighty against Madrid. Lighty is better in poor matchups than Fall.

If you are looking for a nice value pick for cash games, Tonye Jekiri is an interesting piece. Jekiri has at least 20 DraftKings points in all but one game since round 3.

As of now, Gabriel Deck is still with Real Madrid. Every time he steps on the court, he’s trying to get the attention of NBA teams. He is an interesting dart throw right now and for as long as his contract status is up in the air.

William Howard’s return on Tuesday was a smashing success. He racked up 25.75 DraftKings points for a Villeurbanne team that was at full strength. I don’t want to overreact here, but Howard could be a great value play today.
