The #1 Value in our EuroLeague Round 27 DFS Picks

Derrick Alston Jr (SF – EAM) – 9.4M 🚨

Projection: 21.0 FP (Value: 2.23)

The Read: This is the top value of the night. At just 9.4M, Alston Jr is projecting at a 2.23 Value ratio, offering significant salary relief. He sits well above the value trend line in our data models. Locking him in gives you the flexibility to chase the 30+ point upside of Francisco or Vezenkov.

The Reliable Value (8M – 9.5M)

  • Nick Weiler-Babb (SG, BAY) – 8.4M
    • Proj: 22.2 | Value: 2.6
    • The Read: A defensive stat-stuffer. He doesn’t need to score 20 real points to get fantasy value because of his rebounds and steals. Very safe floor for this price.
  • Aliou Diarra (C, ASV) – 7.3M
    • Proj: 19.1 | Value: 2.6
    • The Read: Athletic big man who can rack up fantasy points quickly. A good pivot if you don’t want to pay up for the elite centers.
  • Tamir Blatt (PG, MTA) – 7.6M
    • Proj: 18.3 | Value: 2.4
    • The Read: With Maccabi playing fast, Blatt gets plenty of assists. A cheap way to get exposure to that high-scoring game.

The “Punt” Plays (Extreme Savings)

The Read: Only 7.0M for a center with his block/rebound rate is a steal. Even in limited minutes, he can produce 15-20 FP easily.

John DiBartolomeo (SG, MTA) – 4.5M

Proj: 19.3 | Value: 4.3

The Read: This is the highest value rating on the slate. At 4.5M, he is priced near the minimum. If he hits that 19.3 projection, he breaks the slate. Great filler if you are totally out of salary.

Vincent Poirier (C, EFE) – 7.0M

Proj: 18.2 | Value: 2.6

Top 5 Plays by Position

Point Guard (PG)

  1. Sylvain Francisco (32.9): The highest projected player on the slate. Essential for Cash games.
  2. Codi Miller-McIntyre (26.9): High floor, triple-double threat in a fast-paced matchup.
  3. Carsen Edwards (26.3): Volume shooter with a massive ceiling if his shot is falling.
  4. Saben Lee (20.0): Excellent value pivot at 9.0M if you cannot afford the elites.
  5. Facundo Campazzo (19.8): A reliable veteran option, though lower ceiling than Francisco tonight.

Shooting Guard (SG)

  1. Kevin Punter (24.8): The safest option at SG with Laprovittola out.
  2. Elie Okobo (23.9): Strong correlation with Monaco’s offensive output.
  3. Isaia Cordinier (23.8): Versatile wing who fills the stat sheet.
  4. Armoni Brooks (18.6): The Value play (8.5M). High risk, but opens up salary cap.
  5. Tyler Dorsey (19.1): A cheaper pivot if you need mid-range savings.

Small Forward (SF)

  1. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (26.0): Consistent minutes and usage.
  2. Jordan Nwora (26.0): Matches TLC’s projection but offers slightly higher scoring upside.
  3. Derrick Alston Jr (21.0): (The Value Lock) The mathematical must-play of the slate.
  4. Mario Hezonja (22.8): High variance, but capable of breaking the slate.
  5. Will Clyburn (21.5): Veteran presence, usage increases in tight games.

Power Forward (PF)

  1. Sasha Vezenkov (31.4): The clear #1 PF. Fade at your own risk.
  2. Chima Moneke (26.3): Energy player with massive rebound potential.
  3. Jabari Parker (25.1): With Barcelona’s injuries clearing up, he remains a focal point.
  4. Jaylen Hoard (20.6): Great value (9.3M) to pair with Vezenkov.
  5. Nikola Mirotic (23.7): Always a threat, though priced appropriately.

Center (C)

  1. Jan Vesely (25.0): Reliable anchor for Barcelona.
  2. Mathias Lessort (24.5): High floor due to rebounding and fouls drawn.
  3. Willy Hernangomez (20.5): High per-minute production if he stays out of foul trouble.
  4. Vincent Poirier (20.9): Block upside makes him a GPP tournament play.
  5. Ante Zizic (18.5): A punt option if you are completely out of salary.

 

Strategy for Round 27

  • Cash Games: Lock Derrick Alston Jr (9.4M). Use the savings to pair Sylvain Francisco and Sasha Vezenkov.
  • Tournaments: Fade Alston (high ownership) and pivot to Jaylen Hoard or Armoni Brooks, hoping for a variance spike while the field over-invests in the chalk.
  • Injury Note: Barcelona is healthy aside from Nunez and Laprovittola. Jabari Parker and Jan Vesely are safe, fully active plays.

Good luck.
