Kendrick Nunn must place across EuroLeague Fantasy squads. Those missing the 29-year-old guard of Panathinaikos Aktor should react immediately and pick him up before Round 22 of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season and a meeting between the Greens and Baskonia in Fernando Buesa Arena at the bottom end of the two-game week.
Most Fantasy players have been punctual about Nunn. We are indeed talking about a EuroLeague MVP candidate constantly producing points in EuroLeague Fantasy, especially over the last five to six weeks and mainly behind brilliant scoring showings for the Greens.
He is tagged at 16.3 units in the Fantasy market but we believe he will be piling up points, sooner rather than later. Coming off a poor showing, his worst of the season, we support our tip by expecting an immediate reaction.
Against FC Barcelona on the road, Nunn was held to single-digits in points scored for the first time since Game 1 of last season’s playoff series versus Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. We are sure that he will bounce back against Baskonia.
The defense of the team coached by Pablo Laso confirmed struggles against Olympiacos, opposite top scorers such as Evan Fournier on Tuesday. Furthermore, Nunn avoiding back-to-back poor outings is among the main aspects of his approach.
Most fans remember what happened after he served a one-game suspension, returning to action by dropping 39 points on EA7 Emporio Armani Milan.
Reviewing our tips from earlier this week, Jerian Grant was a total success placing alongside Cedi Osman and Juancho Hernangomez among the standouts for Panathinaikos in Barcelona.
As for Fournier, if he was not held to 1/10 two-pointers, which nobody expected, and a usual shooting percentage to sink four or five shots from inside the arc, he would be over 20 in PIR and would confirm our projections.
It does not matter. We are moving on…
Our Fantasy Team for Round 22
