CSKA advanced to their tenth consecutive EuroLeague Final Four on Wednesday. The other three series all managed to go to a Game 5! We will have the EuroLeague Final Four all figured out by this time tomorrow, so this will be the last EL article until the Final Four begins at the end of this month. Don't worry, I'll still be around with some NBA and MLB picks and some MLB streaming picks as well. I'm not going too far.
St. Petersburg is still missing Mateusz Ponitka and Arturas Gudaitis, but they have been without them the whole time. Munich will be without Nick Weiler-Babb and Nihad Dedovic again as well. Both Walter Tavares and Trey Thompkins traveled to Istanbul with their teammates. I'm guessing that at least one of them play. I am also guessing that if either play, it will be in a capacity too limited to pay the hefty prices for them.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy EuroLeague lineup picks for DraftKings on 5/4/21. 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
Kevin Pangos, St. Petersburg ($11,100)
I'm done with the Baldwin roller coaster for a while. Meanwhile, Pangos has had a solid series against Barcelona. He has 132.5 DraftKings points in the first four games of this series. St. Petersburg is going to run through Pangos like they have all series long. That makes him a more stable option than Wade Baldwin or Shane Larkin. He doesn't have the ceiling of Larkin, but it feels like Larkin is priced for another ceiling game. Pangos gives you a little bit more wiggle room.
Malcolm Delaney, Milan ($9,100)
Delaney has averaged 16.3 real points in this series so far, making him Milan's top scorer. I haven't seen the consistency out of Kevin Punter or Sergio Rodriguez, so Delaney seems to be the Milan piece to play. The bad news is that DraftKings is pricing Delaney for a game like he had in Game 4, which is most definitely his ceiling. It's hard to fit both he and Pangos in there. This is just to highlight that if you want to use a Milan guard, it should be Delaney. The guys that should be pushing him in terms of production aren't.
Sergio Llull, Real Madrid ($6,800)
Real Madrid got smoked in the first two games of the series. Then they did a weird thing and put Llull back into the starting lineup. Real Madrid won both games to force Game 5. Llull wont play much more than half the game, but he has 54.75 DraftKings points in the last two games. Llull is a lock for me right now. His price is too low for the numbers that he's putting up. Having this kind of production at this price opens up a lot of things on this slate.
Also consider: Shane Larkin, Efes ($11,700); Rodrigue Beaubois, Efes ($9,200); Nick Calathes, Barcelona ($8,100); Jaycee Carroll, Real Madrid ($6,300)

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Forwards
Usman Garuba, Real Madrid ($9,000)
I was a couple of games early on Garuba. He put up 70.25 DraftKings points in Games 3 and 4 last week to give Real Madrid at least one more game. This could be Garuba's last game with Real Madrid if they lose this. The 19-year-old could be a lottery pick in the NBA draft this summer. He is showing why against Efes in this series. Real Madrid has no reason to limit him here. He's in for another big game.
Tarik Black, St. Petersburg ($7,500)
Black has 18 fouls in just 70 minutes of court time over four games of this series, so you know the foul trouble is limiting his bottom line. Still, Black has managed 68 DraftKings points in that span. Getting a guy that scores a fantasy point per minute at this price is fairly rare. It also means the ceiling on Black is fairly high if he can stay out of foul trouble. He's worth a shot in GPP formats, but I don't think we can trust him in cash games.
Alberto Abalde, Real Madrid ($7,100)
Real Madrid figured something out after the first two games. They started to attack the Efes middle with Garuba and Abalde last week. Abalde put up 48.25 DraftKings points in 52 minutes in Games 3 and 4. This price doesn't seem high enough, especially when you consider the players that are around the same price as him. It is concerning that Real Madrid played so poorly in Istanbul a couple of weeks ago, but this looks like a completely different team right now. I'm not going to question it and just enjoy the value.
Also consider: Vladimir Lucic, Munich ($9,800); Bryant Dunston, Efes ($8,800); Paul Zipser, Munich ($6,900); JaJuan Johnson, Munich ($5,900)
