Updated 30 September 2026, 12:14 — refreshed with the latest lines and projections.
Our EuroLeague DFS picks for FanTeam’s Wednesday Shootout on 30 September come from a two-game slate with very different game scripts. MAC and BJK carry a 174.5 total and a tight line, while PAO are heavy favourites over ASV in a lower-scoring spot. With a 70-credit budget, the salary structure rewards finding cheap minutes, and the value tier is unusually deep tonight.
Games and pace
| Game | Home odds | Away odds | Home total | Away total | Game total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAC vs BJK | 1.55 | 2.70 | 89.5 | 85.5 | 174.5 |
| PAO vs ASV | 1.11 | 7.70 | 89.5 | 75.5 | 164.5 |
MAC vs BJK is the game to build around. The 174.5 total is ten points higher than the other game, and the team totals are separated by only four points. MAC are favoured at 1.55, but BJK at 2.70 are live. A competitive game means starters should play full minutes, which protects projections on both sides.
PAO vs ASV looks different. PAO at 1.11 with an 89.5 team total against ASV’s 75.5 implies a 14-point margin. That creates blowout risk for PAO’s expensive starters, since a comfortable lead can cut late minutes. ASV’s low total limits their scoring, but trailing teams often keep starters on the floor to chase, and our numbers still like several ASV pieces at their prices.
Top EuroLeague DFS picks tonight
| Player | Pos | Team | Opp | Salary | Proj | Ceiling | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sylvain Francisco | PG | PAO | ASV | 15.2 | 30.4 | 34.1 | 2.0x |
| Yam Madar | PG | MAC | BJK | 6.5 | 27.3 | 38.4 | 4.2x |
| Mathias Lessort | C | PAO | ASV | 11.0 | 25.1 | 28.2 | 2.3x |
| Jaylen Hoard | PF | MAC | BJK | 12.5 | 23.3 | 26.5 | 1.9x |
| Roman Sorkin | PF | MAC | BJK | 10.5 | 23.3 | 27.0 | 2.2x |
| Keaton Wallace | PG | MAC | BJK | 8.4 | 22.9 | 22.9 | 2.7x |
| Jae Crowder | SF | ASV | PAO | 7.5 | 22.8 | 22.8 | 3.0x |
| Scottie Wilbekin | PG | BJK | MAC | 8.2 | 21.6 | 25.3 | 2.6x |
Yam Madar is the slate’s best play
Madar projects for 27.3 points at 6.5 credits, a 4.2x return. His 38.4 ceiling is the highest on the slate, above Francisco’s 34.1 at less than half the price. He plays in the highest-total game on the favoured side. Lock him into cash lineups and don’t overthink it in tournaments.
Francisco and Lessort: the PAO core
Francisco has the top projection at 30.4, but at 15.2 credits he lands at exactly 2.0x, the edge of cash viability. The blowout risk matters here. Lessort is the more efficient PAO piece at 11.0 credits and 2.3x. If you want PAO exposure, Lessort is the cleaner way in, with Francisco more of a tournament pivot when you can fit him.
The MAC frontcourt
Sorkin and Hoard share a 23.3 projection, but Sorkin costs two credits less. That makes Sorkin 2.2x against Hoard’s 1.9x. Unless you need Hoard’s salary slot to use leftover credits, Sorkin is the pick.
Wallace, Crowder and Wilbekin
Wallace (2.7x) and Crowder (3.0x) are strong value at mid-range prices, though both have a ceiling equal to their projection. That narrow range suits cash more than tournaments. Wilbekin at 8.2 credits gives BJK exposure in the shootout with a 25.3 ceiling and 2.6x value, a sensible tournament piece if you expect BJK to keep it close.
Value plays
| Player | Pos | Team | Salary | Proj | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yam Madar | PG | MAC | 6.5 | 27.3 | 4.2x |
| Panagiotis Kalaitzakis | SF | PAO | 4.8 | 18.3 | 3.8x |
| Both Gach | SF | ASV | 4.4 | 15.0 | 3.4x |
| Jae Crowder | SF | ASV | 7.5 | 22.8 | 3.0x |
| Tremont Waters | PG | ASV | 6.7 | 20.0 | 3.0x |
| Conor Morgan | C | BJK | 6.4 | 18.6 | 2.9x |
| Konstantinos Mitoglou | PF | PAO | 5.6 | 16.0 | 2.9x |
Kalaitzakis at 4.8 credits is the standout after Madar. A 3.8x return from a PAO wing also works as a hedge on the blowout script, since bench and rotation players tend to gain minutes when a game gets out of hand. The same logic applies to Mitoglou at 5.6.
Gach is the cheapest option here at 4.4 credits and 3.4x, a useful salary saver when you want to pay up for Francisco. Waters and Crowder give ASV exposure at 3.0x each. ASV’s 75.5 team total is low, but these prices already account for that.
Morgan is the only BJK name in the value tier, a 6.4-credit centre at 2.9x in the slate’s best game environment.
Fades
| Player | Team | Salary | Proj | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jimmy Clark III | MAC | 10.7 | 15.3 | 1.4x |
| Brancou Badio | PAO | 10.8 | 16.3 | 1.5x |
| Eugene Omoruyi | BJK | 10.8 | 17.2 | 1.6x |
| Guerschon Yabusele | PAO | 12.6 | 21.3 | 1.7x |
None of these are bad players. They’re badly priced tonight. Clark at 10.7 credits projects for 15.3, while Madar on the same team projects 12 points higher for 4.2 fewer credits. Badio and Yabusele are PAO starters priced as if the game will stay competitive, and the 1.11 line suggests it may not. Yabusele at 12.6 credits and 1.7x is the most expensive fade, and Lessort gives you more production for less. Omoruyi sits in the shootout, but 17.2 points at 10.8 credits doesn’t clear the bar when Morgan and Wilbekin are cheaper.
