DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 3/26/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We finish off Round 31 of the EuroLeague this week. That means only four rounds remain in the regular season. Tanking isn't as big of an issue in Europe, but a pattern I have noticed over the last couple of years is that some teams that aren't in playoff contention play more players less minutes while some of the contenders tighten their rotations a bit. This isn't like the NBA though. All of these teams also play in domestic leagues and many are vying for titles there as well. We don't see much of a change down the EuroLeague stretch, aside from Khimki not pushing Alexey Shved back into action.

We know for sure that Cory Higgins and Malcolm Delaney are still out, but beyond that it gets murky. Tonye Jekiri was lost for likely the rest of the EuroLeague season in a domestic league game on Sunday. The Devin Booker situation in Moscow hasn't been resolved yet either, so expect him to be out again. We still don't know what is ailing Maodo Lo, but Peyton Siva could be joining him on the sidelines since he missed Tuesday's domestic game with a non-COVID illness. There's still a lot to be resolved with tipoff only about 16 hours away.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy EuroLeague lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/26/21. 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 ($10,000)

Pangos is settling in nicely with St. Petersburg. He has 119 DraftKings points over the last four games and gets the weakest team in the entire league to beat on today. No one has really put up slate-breaking numbers against Khimki because they are playing less minutes than normal, but there's no reason to expect that Pangos wont keep up his recent run either. If this game somehow manages to stay close, the upside it too much to ignore and the floor is still high enough to warrant GPP usage.

Pierria Henry, Vitoria-Gasteiz ($8,400)

Losing Tonye Jekiri out of the middle is going to alter the dynamic of this team. The only thing that I know for sure is that Henry will still put up some of the best assist numbers in the league. That gives him a solid floor to start from. Jekiri isn't much of a volume shooter, but he was a decent scorer. If some of that slack falls to Henry, he becomes a legitimate double-double threat. The Milan guard corps is a bit short today as well. Considering Henry put up 31 DraftKings points on Milan the first time, he feels a bit underpriced here today. I plan on taking advantage of that. Luca Vildoza could see a slight uptick as well.

Marcus Eriksson, Berlin ($7,500)

Berlin has the potential to be really thin at guard today with Siva battling an illness and Maodo Lo battling who knows what. I still believe that Berlin has every intention of bringing Jayson Granger along slowly, so I doubt he plays more than 20 minutes no matter who is able to suit up. Eriksson put up a huge game in round 29, tying a EuroLeague record with ten made three pointers against Khimki. The ceiling is very high here on Eriksson, but only if the guard corps remain depleted.

Also consider: Nando de Colo, Fenerbahce ($10,900); Errick McCollum, Khimki ($9,100);Kevin Punter, Milan ($8,300); Vyacheslav Zaytsev, Khimki ($6,400)

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Forwards

Jordan Mickey, Khimki ($11,400)

I don't plan on using many Khimki players, but it's really hard to ignore what Mickey has done over the last month. His 36.25 DraftKings point output against Valencia last round was his lowest in a month. While teams facing Khimki may be resting starters, Mickey has played at least 35 minutes in five straight games more out of necessity than anything else. We know that Mickey is going to be playing big minutes and he's the only proven contributor on the team if Shved is out again. Even if Shved plays, I expect another strong game and a ton of minutes for Mickey again.

Nikola Mirotic, Barcelona ($9,900)

Mirotic missed over a month earlier this year and Barcelona worked him back slowly, yet he is still fifth in the league in scoring and rebounds. Mirotic wont play anywhere close to the minutes that Mickey is seeing, but he still does a lot when he's in there. He had a solid game in the first meeting with Berlin, putting up 27.75 DraftKings points in just 18 minutes. Mirotic has been playing 25-30 minutes per game with the exception of the blowout win over Milan last round. He's a lock for mid-30's today.

Alec Peters, Vitoria-Gasteiz ($7,900)

The good news for Baskonia is that they are loaded at forward. I imagine that it will be either Peters or Youssoupha Fall who replaces Jekiri in the starting lineup. Neither has the same skill set as Jekiri does, but both of them combined are close. Fall is the rim protector that Jekiri is. Peters is the shooter. I would expect the minutes to be split pretty close to even with Peters having a slight advantage since he has already played more this year. Fall is a really nice value pick as well, and I have no issues running both, at least until we see how this situation is going to shake out.

Also consider: Sasha Vezenkov, Piraeus ($11,000); Achille Polonara, Vitoria-Gasteiz ($9,300); Ben Lammers, Berlin ($7,900); Dyshawn Pierre, Fenerbahce ($7,600)
