Fantasy tips, Round 29: No time to risk!
With six Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season rounds remaining, Every Game Matters is now an understatement. Every possession counts in order to reach the playoffs or make it to the Play-In Showdown, and that means that EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge managers have plenty of good options to choose from. Since last week we gave you advice about cheaper players, this time we are going with five more expensive ones to take your Fantasy Challenge team to the next level. Here they are:
Shane Larkin, Anadolu Efes Istanbul (19.1 credits)
Larkin comes off an outstanding game against FC Bayern Munich: 28 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and a PIR of 33 in a winning effort. In the last four games, since Tomislav Mijatovic was made the head coach, Larkin is averaging 19.8 points on 14-for-26 three-point shooting and a PIR of 27.5. Hard to ignore, right?
Jan Vesely, FC Barcelona (16.1 credits)
Vesely goes against Partizan, one of his former teams, this week. He also does it after a monster Round 28 performance against Valencia: 21 points on 10-for-10 shooting, 3 rebounds and a PIR of 25. Vesely recently extended his contract with Barca and is on a mission to prove his team made the right decision.
Shabazz Napier, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (10.7 credits)
Napier is on fire, back to his previous level in Milan. In Round 28, Napier had 15 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and a PIR of 24, hitting the game's most critical shot to beat Partizan. This weekend, Napier had a PIR of 29 in a losing effort against Virtus. There's no better option in his price range!
Nando De Colo, LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (12.1 credits)
Nando is back. We know he came back in the French Cup, what we mean is that he is back at his usual top-class level. Last week, despite ASVEL's loss against Panathinaikos, De Colo had 15 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and a PIR of 25. ASVEL may be eliminated but De Colo will keep going, guaranteed.
Joel Bolomboy, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (11.8 credits)
It has been a great season for Bolomboy in general, and in the last couple of rounds in particular. In those two games, Bolomboy averaged 11.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and a PIR of 19.5. Zvezda needs to play physical against Josh Nebo, and that makes Bolomboy even more important in Round 29.
