DraftKings EuroLeague Forwards:

You know the story with Nikola Mirotic. You pay up for him, he gets you 25-30. You don’t really know the story of Shavon Shields. Shields is an elite play if Sergio is out again. He took up many of the shots that Sergio usually gets and made most of them. If Sergio plays, Shields is too expensive. We need the offense running through him at this price. He played guard at Nebraska, so it’s not out of his comfort zone.

The return of Devin Booker will keep me off of Will Clyburn. The Khimki front was terrible on defense without Booker. Now they can probably hold their own. The looks more like the place to go after a struggling Zalgiris team. Ioannis Papapetrou looks very nice just outside the top tier. So does Georgios Papagiannis.

I never thought we would see Tornike Shengelia be this inconsistent. He’s tough to rely on right now. I prefer Nikola Milutinov if you’re using anyone from the CSKA front. Johannes Voigtmann is acceptable if you’re on a budget.

Is it finally Guerschon Yabusele time for Villeurbanne? He has been the most consistent part of the frontcourt and his offensive game is improving. I think he’s the only one I would use from Villeurbanne. Munich is solid up front.

Can we finally trust Brandon Davies again? The floor is terrifying, but he has been scoring well the last couple of games and finds himself in another solid matchup.

Okay, I’ll present you another Zalgiris option. Even during the slump, Joffrey Lauvergne has managed to keep putting up solid totals. I trust him more than Nigel Hayes or the displaced value now that Booker has returned.
