Updated 25 September 2026 — built from tonight’s betting lines and player props.
Three EuroLeague games tonight and a 73-credit budget on FanTeam, which makes this a slate about finding one or two cheap pieces that let you pay up at the top. Below are our top plays, the best value on the board, and the expensive names our model says to leave alone.
Who are the top plays tonight?
Fenerbahçe are the heaviest favourites of the night at 1.18 against Virtus Bologna, with the biggest team total on the slate (87.5). Beşiktaş–Valencia (169.5) and Partizan–Milan (168.5) are the two fastest games.
| Player | Pos | Team | Opp | Salary | Proj | Ceiling | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T.J. Shorts | PG | VAL | BJK | 9.6 | 30.2 | 38.8 | 3.1 |
| Moses Wright | C | EAM | PAR | 11.2 | 28.3 | 34.4 | 2.5 |
| Carlik Jones | PG | PAR | EAM | 13.0 | 27.0 | 31.4 | 2.1 |
| Alec Peters | PF | EAM | PAR | 7.5 | 24.6 | 33.3 | 3.3 |
| Wade Baldwin | PG | FNB | VIB | 12.8 | 23.4 | 25.8 | 1.8 |
| Armoni Brooks | SG | VAL | BJK | 11.0 | 22.9 | 28.9 | 2.1 |
| Jaylen Nowell | SG | BJK | VAL | 7.6 | 22.3 | 26.8 | 2.9 |
| Leandro Bolmaro | SG | EAM | PAR | 8.7 | 22.1 | 26.0 | 2.5 |
Shorts is the best combination of ceiling and price on the board: 30.2 projected with a 38.8 ceiling at 9.6 credits, in the game with the second-highest total. Alec Peters at 7.5 is the other one to note, a 33.3 ceiling for less than a third of your budget.
Where is the best value tonight?
Value is points per credit. Above 2.0x works for cash games, above 2.5x is what lets you afford the top of the board on a 73-credit budget.
| Player | Pos | Team | Salary | Proj | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rasheed Bello | PG | VIB | 4.3 | 17.2 | 4.0 |
| Trent Frazier | PG | VIB | 5.1 | 19.4 | 3.8 |
| Alec Peters | PF | EAM | 7.5 | 24.6 | 3.3 |
| T.J. Shorts | PG | VAL | 9.6 | 30.2 | 3.1 |
| Conor Morgan | C | BJK | 4.5 | 13.4 | 3.0 |
| Jaylen Nowell | SG | BJK | 7.6 | 22.3 | 2.9 |
| Daquan Jeffries | PF | BJK | 5.3 | 14.9 | 2.8 |
Virtus are 5.60 underdogs in Istanbul, and that is precisely why Bello and Frazier lead the value list: their minutes are secure, their price is minimum, and even a modest night returns 4x. Beşiktaş are the other source of cheap production tonight, with three players under 8 credits in our top seven.
Who should you avoid?
| Player | Team | Salary | Proj | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shane Larkin | FNB | 10.8 | 10.1 | 0.9 |
| Nikola Mirotic | VAL | 10.0 | 12.6 | 1.3 |
| Trent Forrest | FNB | 12.0 | 17.2 | 1.4 |
| Will Clyburn | FNB | 13.4 | 21.6 | 1.6 |
Larkin and Mirotic are both game-time decisions, and our numbers already reflect that risk, so at 10+ credits they are the two easiest fades of the night. The wider Fenerbahçe problem is that they are priced like the biggest favourite on the slate while their 87.5 team total has to be shared among a deep rotation.
Games and pace
Beşiktaş–Valencia has the highest total of the night at 169.5 and the tightest line, which is the best environment for both teams’ guards. Fenerbahçe–Virtus has the lowest total (164.5) and the widest spread, so Virtus minutes are cheap but their ceiling is capped if the game gets away early.
