DraftKings EuroLeague basketball picks December 11

Round 13 of the DraftKings EuroLeague season concludes with four games on the docket for today. First up is the battle of Moscow between CSKA and Khimki that tips at noon Eastern. An hour after that, Zalgiris heads to Athens. A half hour later Munich welcomes Villeurbanne. We close out the afternoon with Milan heading over to Barcelona. This is going to be a fun one! Now we have to see who wont be participating. That’s not fun.

Out: Patricio Garino (knee), Victor Claver (foot), Steve Vasturia (knee).

Questionable: Sergio Rodriguez (undisclosed), Nihad Dedovic (hip), Janis Strelnieks (hip), Jeff Brooks (undisclosed), Dairis Bertans (undisclosed).

Sergio missed round 12 and the makeup game on Tuesday. Even if he does play at this point, I doubt he’s a full go. I’m planning around him being out, but that may change by noon today.

Even if Dedovic plays, reports are that he wont be at 100%. It would just serve to disrupt the Munich backcourt a little. I also doubt that Strelnieks is in action considering that he didn’t even practice this week.

Yesterday I had the right mix of players but the wrong combinations. I at least was close enough that I can feel good about my picks. I just need to mix them together better.

Often in the EuroLeague season we see about ten players playing half the game. The upside on everyone is capped except for the few elites out there.

For DraftKings EuroLeague, we can’t expect 5x value like in the NBA. Most winning lineups are around 180-200 DraftKings points, which is around 3.5 – 4x value. Keep that in mind when mining for value picks.
