PICKS TO CLICK
Nicolas Laprovittola Over 4.5 Assists (-105 FanDuel)
This is one of the main situations we need to monitor. With Kevin Punter, Tomas Satorasnky and Juan Nunez -- per RotoWire's EuroLeague Injury Report -- all unavailable, Barcelona's backcourt is extremely depleted. Tornike Shengelia and Dario Brizuela are questionable, so Barcelona could be down another top producer plus another backcourt option.
I'm still comfortable taking Laprovittola's assists regardless of Brizuela's status. He should have the ball in his hands a ton and should be asked to facilitate heavily. If Brizuela is ruled out, I'll also look to ladder Laprovittola's points.
If Shengelia is ruled out as well, I'll start taking a closer look at Will Clyburn and especially Joel Parra.
Nenad Dimitrijevic Over 14.5 Points+Assists (-115 bet365)
Bayern has had a revolving door seemingly all season when it comes to running the offense, but Dimitrijevic has looked like the best option in terms of balancing scoring and playmaking. He can create his own shot while also setting up others.
He missed the first leg of last week's double-game week but returned for the second. He only got 15 minutes in that one, but I'm expecting him to spend at least 20 minutes on the court in Round 28. Plus, he has a matchup with Maccabi that I love going after.
Carsen Edwards 20+ Points (+133 DraftKings)
I'm really hoping Isaia Cordinier sits this one out, even if it seems unlikely. He's the best defender on the perimeter for Efes and has the size to really bother Edwards. If Cordinier does wind up sidelined, I'm not sure who can consistently stay in front of Edwards.
That would likely mean more possessions with Jordan Loyd in front of Edwards, which is a matchup ripe for the taking. If Cordinier does wind up unavailable, I'll also sprinkle some on 25+ points.
