Stefan Jovic Over 11.5 Points+Assists (-115 bet365)
Would I feel better about this if Kamar Baldwin and Justus Hollatz -- both listed on RotoWire's EuroLeague Injury Report -- were already ruled out? Absolutely. But I still think this play is live regardless.
With Spencer Dinwiddie no longer around and Nenad Dimitrijevic not up to speed, Jovic is the only guard besides Baldwin who can efficiently run the offense, and even in limited minutes he has been stuffing the stat sheet. In Bayern's last domestic game Jovic dished out 10 assists in 16 minutes. Bayern desperately needs a veteran guard to steady the second unit, and Jovic -- who played for new head coach Svetislav Pesic on the Serbian national team -- fits that role perfectly.
Mouhamed Faye Over 10.5 Points+Rebounds (-115 bet365)
Two things I haven't done much this season are backing Faye and Paris players in general, mainly due to their hockey-style rotations and capped minutes. I'm making an exception today.
With Vincent Poirier out, Efes has been getting dismantled inside, and Faye has quietly been increasing the output. The opportunity is there, and the matchup makes sense.
Nick Weiler-Babb Over 22.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (+105 bet365)
The Efes backcourt has been a disaster since Shane Larkin went down, but the one constant has been Weiler-Babb. He is the only player seeing consistent minutes with steady usage, and he's doing what he always does -- stacking peripherals.
This sets up as a fast-paced game against a Paris team that has issues defending opposing guards, making this an ideal look on paper. The main concerns are shooting variance and potential foul trouble. I'm also keeping an eye on the starting lineup for Efes. If Jordan Loyd draws a start, there are some attractive alternate lines around 10+ points worth a look.
