DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

I kind of think Nikola Mirotic is going to come out mad. Zalgiris shut him out in the second half last week, snapping a streak of 26 games in which Mirotic had scored in double digits. Both Bojan Dubljevic and Derrick Williams offer more upside and a better matchup, but Mirotic has slate-breaking potential.

Efes got Adrien Moerman some rest in a blowout last week, so don’t look down too badly on the stat line. He was productive when he was in there. This is a nice bounce-back situation for Moerman.

This is a really nice spot for Will Thomas and Mateusz Ponitka. I prefer Thomas, but if for some reason you can’t find the extra $300, Ponitka will do. Arturas Gudaitis is worth a look too, but he hasn’t been playing as many minutes as the other two.

Expect high ownership after a huge game from Guerschon Yabusele last week. I wont be part of that group. The matchup is not a good one and I still prefer the consistency of David Lighty. Last week did highlight the ceiling of Yabusele though. It’s a rare one in that price range.

I do like having Bryant Dunston this cheap, but there’s a good chance that he’s not back up to his full compliment of minutes here either. It really caps Dunston’s upside and makes his floor low enough to really hurt your lineup.

The Valencia frontcourt situation is as confusing as ever. Fernando San Emeterio’s return has made it even worse. I wouldn’t pay up for anyone, but the cheap guys like Mike Tobey and San Emeterio are interesting plays in GPP formats. Both play well when they are in the game.
