The second half of the latest double-game week of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season creates opportunities for additional Fantasy points.
Earlier this week, we went with cheaper options in the form of Filip Petrusev of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet, Tamir Blatt of Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv and David McCormack of ALBA Berlin. The return from an investment of 29 Fantasy units amounted to 15, 22, and 25 PIR, respectively. Great stuff!
After such contributions at an affordable price range, we are certainly keeping them on our Fantasy squad for the next round. Thanks to the created space in our budget, we can grab more expensive players like Kendrick Nunn.
The Fantasy value of the superstar of Panathinaikos Aktor went up to 15.1 units after the career-high performance against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in OAKA Altion. But we got the money…
Staying at home, facing the defense of Baskonia is his next challenge. A good team but good enough to stop Nunn?
Furthermore, we will pick up Giorgos Bartzokas, the head coach of Olympiacos, at 8.2 units. His Fantasy value pales in comparison to previous years due to the recent struggles of the Reds.
With bottom-placed ALBA visiting SEF, we expect Olympiacos to prevail by a margin bigger than 15 to 20 points, which would produce more points for our Fantasy team.
Among more picks for Round 17, we retain Sasha Vezenkov, the MVP of Round 16, as our captain.
