Round 26 is the last one before the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season takes a two-week break for domestic cups and national team competitions. It is also critical in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge, as managers will have unlimited trades during that two-week break, but the usual three this week. Here are some recommendations from Javier Gancedo on ways to make your EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge teams stronger this week.
Nikos Rogkavopoulos, Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (5.7 credits)
Baskonia is facing significant injury problems with Tadas Sedekerskis and Khalifa Diop unavailable. That means that other players have to step up. Rogkavopoulos has done so, going for 13 points and a PIR of 11 in Round 25 against Maccabi and a PIR of 22 in Spanish League action. All for less than 6 credits!
Wade Baldwin, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv (16.7 credits)
Baldwin should be your superstar of choice in Round 26. In the last three games, Baldwin averaged 25.0 points on 8-of-14 three-point shooting and 17-of-18 on free throws plus 6.7 assists for a PIR of 29.3. Over the last six games, Baldwin has had a PIR of at least 16 in each game. Baldwin is simply a solid fantasy choice.
Mike Scott, LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (9.9 credits)
Right under 10 credits, Scott is a hidden gem in the game. He has been outstanding over the last two games, averaging 22.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 fouls drawn for a PIR of 23.5, while making 13 of 20 two-pointers and 12 of 13 free throws. An increase in playing time is all it took for Scott to do better.
Semi Ojeleye, Valencia Basket (11.9 credits)
Valencia keeps winning games despite being without its two main centers, Brandon Davies and Boubacar Toure. Ojeleye's versatility has allowed Valencia to stay competitive. He's had a double-digit PIR in 10 of his last 11 games and had a PIR of 22 in less than 18 minutes in Round 25 against ALBA.
Aleksa Avramovic, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade (5.7 credits)
He was the most-bought player at the start of the season and all of a sudden, Avramovic's fantasy popularity is on the rise again. In his last two games, Avramovic has averaged 11.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists for a PIR of 13.5. His price makes him very attractive as a key backup player.
