DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 1/21/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Mike Marteny offers his DraftKings daily fantasy EuroLeague basketball plays and sleepers for 1/21/21. His EuroLeague DFS lineup picks and sleepers will help you win on DraftKings.

Here at RotoBaller, we always strive to offer you the best content across multiple DFS platforms - and today we are proud to offer you some DraftKings EuroLeague picks. Just in case you don’t know how EuroLeague works, they play “rounds” every week with a two-round week every month. The games are on Thursday and Friday. EuroLeague is also different from the NBA. The games are shorter (four ten-minute quarters), slower, and generally lower scoring. If you manage to hit 4x value, you’re going to be in the running for a takedown on most days.

On DraftKings, you build a six-person lineup with two guards, three forwards, and one utility slot. You also don't get the multi-positional eligibility that their NBA product is known for. If you are a FanDuel player, don't fret. They have EuroLeague contests over there as well. What I have noticed on FanDuel is that they are very slow with game log updates and with pricing on players returning from injury. It's much easier to find value on the FanDuel side of things.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy EuroLeague lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/21/21. I’ll be providing multiple player suggestions for players at guard, forward, and center, aiming to highlight one option apiece at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Guards

Nemanja Nedovic vs. Khimki ($11,100)

Alexey Shved has been ruled out with a sore back, so that has me moving Nedovic up into the top slot. Khimki has struggled against guards all season even with Shved in the lineup. The absence of Shved opens up some Khimki value now. Jovic is a lock and Errick McCollum (yes, he is C.J.'s brother) becomes a very interesting GPP play because he can put up points in a hurry. The point is that neither of them can guard Nedovic. My problem with Nedovic is that his floor is in the teens. Sure, the upside is over 50, but I don't like taking that big of a risk if I don't have to. With Shved out though, I think it's worth it. I expect much closer to a ceiling game than a floor game for Nedovic.

Wade Baldwin @ Milan ($9,800)

The former Vanderbilt standout has found a home in the EuroLeague. He missed the domestic league game on Sunday with a minor hand injury, so it’s expected that Baldwin will be good to go here. That’s a good thing. Sergio Rodriguez is not the defender that he used to be. Baldwin does an excellent job of setting up his teammates. That’s what he was famous for at Vandy as well. I enjoy the high floor and decent ceiling if you want to build in the mid-range. The only knock on Baldwin is the same as it was at times in college. He's not an elite scorer, so the ceiling isn't all that high.

Howard Sant-Roos vs. Khimki ($7,300)

Guards against Khimki is a thing even with Shved out there. Sant-Roos hasn’t had the most consistent minutes, but he has put up some big numbers when he plays around half the game. HSR has 46 DraftKings points in 47 minutes over the last two rounds. That’s a nice return on the investment. When you add in the plus matchup, Sant-Roos is a nice value play.

Also consider: Norris Cole, Lyon ($8,000); Nick Weiler-Babb, Munich ($7,100); Stefan Jovic, Khimki ($6,200)

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Forwards

Walter Tavares @ Tel Aviv ($10,800)

Tavares gets the nod at forward because of his consistency. He put up 26.5 DraftKings points in the first meeting against Maccabi Tel Aviv. A lot has changed since then. Deni Avdija is now stateside. Yovel Zoosman and Omri Casspi are healthy. Dragan Bender is on the roster. I still think Tavares should have no problem reaching that mark again. Yeah, it’s a touch under what we’re looking for, but there are very few stable options at forward on this slate.

Jalen Reynolds @ Milan ($9,900)

Reynolds might be my favorite play on the entire slate. He is the only one that can match the consistency of Tavares, and he manhandled Milan in the first meeting. Reynolds racked up 34.25 DraftKings points in that one. If you’re doing a cash game, Tavares has the better matchup, but I want the upside of Reynolds in GPP formats. If Reynolds fits your cash build better, I have no issues using him there either.

Konstantinos Mitoglu vs. Khimki ($8,600)

With both Papagiannis and Papapetrou ruled out, Mitoglu has the frontcourt all to himself. Mitoglu has been superb filling in for Papapetrou, putting up 84.75 DraftKings points in those three games. With both the Papa's out, Mitoglu is in for a monster game. This also opens up some more value in the Athens frontcourt. Aaron White and Ben Bentil will both see more minutes. This game is now a DFS gold mine with most of the big stars sidelined for this one. You can stack the Athens side of this game and literally play whomever else you want alongside them.

William Howard @ Valencia ($4,900)

It has been a bit of a mess in the Lyon frontcourt since Moustapha Fall went down. In the makeup game on Tuesday, both Howard and Ismael Bako picked up the slack. They both split the minutes with Bako seeing a slightly larger share. Whether that changes because of Howard’s play remains to be seen, but I think I want to take the $400 savings on Howard. If you really want to go stars and scrubs, I have no issue using both. Just keep in mind that neither one will play more than 20 minutes.

Also consider: Jordan Mickey, Khimki ($9,200); Kyle Hines, Milan ($7,500); Janis Timma, Khimki ($6,000)
