With the conclusion of this week, there is no time to waste as teams are already playing for the second part of the double-week action and EuroLeague Fantasy coaches should think ahead even.
The last few weeks have been a solid one for players that are considered to be mid- and low-tier as superstars like Kendrick Nunn and Theo Maledon looked ineffective.
Alex Abrines – Dario Brizuela, FC Barcelona
The FC Barcelona bench duo is on fire during the last three games, producing 41.3 EuroLeague Fantasy points per game for a total of 13.6 credits.
Moreover, both are shooting the lights out with a massive shooting percentile. Abrines is making his threes on a 50 percent clip on 5.0 attempts per game through the last 3 games. The same goes for Brizuela, who averages 21 points on 75% from three on 6 attempts per game.
With both still valued relatively low with Abrines at 6.8 and Brizuela at 6.3, we recommend taking a risk with them in the coming week.
Shaquille McKissic, Olympiacos
Sometimes teams need their bench to step up and Shaquille McKissic is doing that for Olympiacos in the last few weeks, having a lot of runs with the closing-quarter unit for the Reds. The veteran wing is putting 17.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.3 threes per game in the last three games, while shooting a 63 percent from the field and 43 percent from deep.
The Olympiacos swingman costs 9.6 credits and remains a budge-friendly option for your EuroLeague Fantasy team at least at his current production levels.
Iffe Lundberg, Partizan Belgrade
Iffe Lundberg shines with his veteran play in Partizan and Zeljko Obradovic uses him as a prototypical main ball-handler when Carlik Jones sits on the bench. Lundberg receives more than 28 minutes in each of the last three games with injuries in key perimeter players ravaging the team.
That said, the Danish playmaker is registering 13.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists shooting 50.0% from deep on 5 attempts per game. No wonder Partizan won their last two games despite missing Frank Ntilikina and Duane Washington. Tagged with a EuroLeague Fantasy team-friendly price of 8.6 credits, Lundberg should be among our top targets in the coming weeks.
Ognjen Jaramaz, Baskonia
Baskonia is struggling to win games this season, especially on the road despite their high-end star power that they have in Moneke, last season’s top scorer Mark Howard and others. However, under Pablo Laso, players that are hustling and working for their teammates are a priority. That said, Ognjen Jaramaz is exceptional in the backup guard role, especially in the last two games, where he put up 5.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists, earning 19.8 minutes.
Jaramaj is not shooting well, but he does the rest well and that’s key to his performance, producing 7.0 EuroLeague Fantasy points per game for 5.0 credits. If you need a budget-friendly deep-end option in your fantasy squad, then the Serbian might be the answer for you.
