Betting on Paris Lee, Tyler Dorsey, and Marius Grigonis, we dive into Round 21 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season and the latest two-game week of the season.
Options in double-game weeks can be complicated. Players shining in the top half are not necessarily going to extend form, perhaps due to fatigue or improved scouting from opponents. However, we must trust red-hot players.
Consequently, Lee of LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne is our top choice for this round! He has been shy of any flaws from two-game weeks. Reliability extends past head-coaching changes as well with Pierric Poupet taking over from Gianmarco Pozzecco.
A performance index rating over 17 marked the five previous showings in the continental campaign, including 31 and 23 over the last two winning displays! Dishing out at least seven assists in the stretch, he sits fourth overall with 6.0 per contest and leads the league with 1.9 steals per contest. Solid shooting adds to the reasons behind an average PIR of 13.8 this season! Impressive stats and current form, we will invest 12.7 units.
Alternatively or combining, Dorsey of Fenerbahce Beko is another option. Packing 23 and 21 PIR over the last two games, he looks comfortable playing under Sarunas Jasikevicius and in a specific assignment. Current playing time is a little scary, but we will take the risk at 10.3 units.
Grigonis of Panathinaikos Aktor did not fit in our selections due to restrictions on lineup changes. We noted his Fantasy value a few weeks back. A 28 PIR versus Anadolu Efes fell narrowly shy of the Round 20 MVP award, besides shaping a sixth double-digit showing over the last seven games.
