Trusting Nikola Milutinov, Scottie Wilbekin, and Luca Banchi is the theme of our EuroLeague Fantasy tips at the top of the double-game week.
Milutinov, 28, is our main pick heading to Round 3 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season. Before Olympiacos visits EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on Tuesday, the Serbian center ranks fifth on the list of players with the highest Performance Index Rating. And we expect yet another huge contribution.
Besides his consistency, the important role with the Reds has received an additional boost with Moustapha Fall struggling early in the 2023-24 campaign.
The favorable matchups opposite Olimpia Milan’s Johannes Voigtmann, Kyle Hines, and Alex Poythress can end up producing the first double-double of the young EuroLeague season for Milutinov.
At 14.4 units, his price might be high, but worth the investment.
Let’s go with Scottie Wilbekin
With Fenerbahce Beko hosting Panathinaikos and following Tyler Dorsey’s injury, Wilbekin will emerge as the top backcourt and scoring option for the team coached by Dimitris Itoudis.
Wilbekin, 30, is on a solid start to the season, currently averaging 15.5 PIR per contest. Add projections for more responsibilities moving deeper into the season. At 10.9 units, we can’t find a reason to overlook the potential for Fantasy points.
Projecting an easy win for Virtus Segafredo Bologna
Coming off the triumph opposite AS Monaco on the road, Virtus Segafredo Bologna will welcome ALBA Berlin in PalaDozza on Wednesday.
Partizan Mozzart Bet head coach Zeljko Obradovic last week was a good pick. This week, we turn to Virtus Bologna’s boss Luca Banchi.
Valued at 6.3 units, his addition makes space for more expensive moves across our squads. Foreseeing a loss for his side is tough, so we bet on the Italian tactician.
