The derby of the eternal enemies, Panathinaikos Aktor hosting Olympiacos in OAKA Altion, highlights Round 8 of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season.
Preparing for the clash on Friday evening and sharing our latest tips on EuroLeague Fantasy teams, we focus on Kendrick Nunn from the Greens and Nikola Milutinov from the Reds.
Our picks last week, Mathias Lessort of Panathinaikos and Shaquielle McKissic of Olympiacos were nice.
Far from super. They missed five free throws apiece to reduce their respective Fantasy scores.
In any case, they were not bad options. We are looking to stay on the same path.
Several players from the Greek powerhouses are available, among two of the strongest squads in the EuroLeague.
We believe two specific players, Nunn and Milutinov can make a difference and help us in EuroLeague Fantasy.
The American superstar is not a classic Fantasy option. We have noted this before. This is the reason he costs 13.4 units and not more like his teammate Lorenzo Brown, for example. Fewer Fantasy points here because of turnovers, lack of rebounds, and shaky numbers on assists.
The biggest asset is scoring points. Nunn usually boosts his performance against rival Olympiacos. We expect more of the same.
Milutinov is probably a risky option. Moustapha Fall and Moses Wright can also get minutes in the five position by head coach Giorgos Bartzokas. Perhaps follow our intuition, if you please, on his moment for a big game in the EuroLeague.
Over recent showings, he produced a PIR of 26 against AEK Betsson in the Stoiximan GBL and went for 16 versus FC Barcelona on the EuroLeague.
This means he has recovered his form. And he gets our vote for a spot on the EuroLeague Fantasy team.
