EuroLeague Fantasy postseason is underway after Wednesday’s action that saw Olympiakos and AS Monaco taking the upper hand in their best-of-five series.
With Game 2 starting on Thursday, there is no time to lose as opportunities arise to upgrade your squad for Round 38 of the EuroLeague Fantasy season. Without further ado, here are some players to have on your radar for Thursday and Friday.
Daniel Theis, AS Monaco (13.2 CR)
Daniel Theis made his EuroLeague playoff debut with AS Monaco registering a career-high 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting and 2 made threes. The German international is the best center to have at his price so if you need to boost your front-line production, then Theis is the perfect fit.
At 13.2 credits, you can consider him a bargain deal for your EuroLeague Fantasy squad. He finished with 15+ points and 5+ rebounds in 6 of the AS Monaco’s last 8 games and showed the ability to dominate on the big stage.
Omer Yurtseven, Panathinaikos (9.7 CR)
Another center on our list is Omer Yurtseven, who had crucial plays in Panathinaikos comeback victory over Anadolu Efes. Yurtseven also made his EuroLeague Playoff debut with Panathinaikos registering 14 points and 7 rebounds four hustle plays in the offensive end.
The Turkish giant is a solid rebounder, and he is expected to receive minutes as a starter with Mathias Lessort still recovering from injury. At 9.7 credits, the Panathinaikos big could become your bench mob leader in the upcoming games.
Matthew Strazel, AS Monaco (7.7 CR)
Coming off an excellent regular season run, one of our EuroLeague Fantasy favorites, Matthew Strazel is a natural-born scorer off the bench. He did the job exceptionally well in Game 1, finishing with 13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, while making 2 threes in AS Monaco’s victory.
At 7.7 credits, the Frenchman should be among the top options for a bench role in the EuroLeague Fantasy team.
Wade Baldwin, Fenerbahce (11.4 CR)
Fenerbahce superstar Wade Baldwin could be considered a risk, taking into consideration his injury history this season and the fact that the player has been playing poorly despite being back healthy. Baldwin has scored in double digits in each of the last four games, while he made a crucial jumper in the final seconds of Game 1 thriller against Paris to put away the EuroLeague newcomer.
Baldwin is usually playing without fear while relying a lot on his instinct. The American guard has been averaging 12.8 points on 45/48/80 shooting splits getting back slowly to his usual high standard of performance. The Fenerbahce remains a considerably low-cost option considering last season. If you have 11.4 credits available, then don’t think twice, as the Vanderbilt alumni could be what you need to elevate your EuroLeague Fantasy team.
