Round 25 finishes off with four more games. We saw Shane Larkin and Alexey Shved put up big numbers, but it was Youssoupha Fall that broke the slate as a value pick. I ended up with a Baskonia stack and still didn't land on Fall. So it goes. Minimum cash still gets me the buy-in for today's action. Who's with me?
We have a little more time before lock today with the first game not tipping off until 12:45pm Eastern. CSKA and Athens got postponed for the second time this year because of travel restrictions. That means we have no Mike James on this slate. The biggest names in the EuroLeague were on yesterday's slate. All that means is that ownership should be leveled out across the board today leaving everything wide open. I love these kinds of slates! Let's make some money for NBA tonight!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy EuroLeague lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/19/21. 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
Nando de Colo, Fenerbahce ($9,800)
Today I'm going with the staying power and consistency of Nando over the hot streak that Wade Baldwin was riding going into the break. First off, it was only a two-game heater. Nando hasn't been under 20 DraftKings points since January 7th. Baldwin was three games ago. Nando has a better floor, but if you are strictly going on upside, Baldwin's is probably higher. His floor is terrifying though. Nando is my way of playing it safe at lower ownership. The only way I really get burned is with a ceiling game from Baldwin. As good as the matchup is, I just don't see that happening.
Kevin Pangos, St. Petersburg ($8,700)
Pangos didn't start his season until just before Christmas because of an injury, but he hit the ground running. He only has one game under 20 DraftKings points since his first game on December 18. Pangos doesn't have a high ceiling, mostly due to his teammates. That said, his output doesn't fluctuate much. He's a must for cash games. I like him in GPP formats as well because you know you're getting somewhere within four points of 25 DraftKings points. Never underestimate the importance of that, even in multi-entry tournaments.
Dennis Seeley, Munich ($6,900)
Seely is one of the reasons that I'm not as high on Baldwin and is a huge reason why Nick Weiler-Babb has hit the skids after a ceiling game. Seeley has played more than half of every game this season. His production is part of a recent trend for the most part. The 49 DraftKings points over the last two games at this price is something to take note of. This is a great matchup for Munich and Seeley is finally looking comfortable in this offense. I see another game in the low 20's for Seeley here, which is a nice return for the price.
Also consider: Wade Baldwin, Munich ($10,000); Maodo Lo, Berlin ($7,400); Billy Baron, St. Petersburg ($5,500)

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Forwards
Jalen Reynolds, Berlin ($11,000)
I hate the price on Reynolds, but even in the tough matchup, he still has a higher ceiling than Walter Tavares. Reynolds put up 34.75 DraftKings points in the first meeting with Lyon in just 24 minutes. Nowadays Reynolds plays somewhere between 28 and 32 minutes a game. The potential is there for a huge game against Lyon. Reynolds rode a streak of three straight games of more than 35 DraftKings points into the break. There's a good chance that he extends the streak here.
Ben Lammers, Berlin ($8,400)
I also like Luke Sikma here, but we can do a lot with the $1,100 savings that rostering Lammers instead gives us. Both are in great spots, but Lammers has been matching the output of Sikma in most games for the last couple of weeks. Sikma has the higher ceiling, and if you have the money, go for it. I just like Lammers because we can easily pair him with one or two elite options whereas it's hard to do that with Sikma's price tag. One or both of them are going to smash the Fenerbahce frontcourt. Make sure you have at least one. Even Simone Fontecchio deserves some consideration here.
William Howard, Lyon ($6,800)
Value is hard to come by at forward. I wouldn't really go any lower than Howard unless you want to play Real Madrid roulette or gamble on Kyle O'Quinn being in tune enough with Fenerbahce to play more than seven minutes. Both are just as likely to get you zero as double digits. Meanwhile, you can count on Howard for double figures in DraftKings points. Since the calendar flipped to 2021, Howard has played at least 15 minutes with at least double figures in every game. If you want to load up on forwards, my best advice is to punt both guard slots. The bottom of forward is messy.
Also consider: Walter Tavares, Real Madrid ($10,400); Jan Vesely, Fenerbahce ($10,100); Gabriel Deck, Real Madrid ($7,700)
