Nikola Milutinov and Kostas Sloukas shifting to the injury list for Olympiacos and Panathinaikos Aktor also impact our picks in EuroLeague Fantasy, apart from commanding adjustments to the Greek powerhouses, starting from this week’s Round 23 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season.
Before the setback, the Serbian center of the Reds and Virtus Segafredo Bologna head coach Luca Banchi boosted our Fantasy performance last week.
Combined with the absence of Moustapha Fall, Filip Petrusev emerged as the main option inside the paint for Olympiacos. Similar to play-caller Giorgos Bartzokas relying on the Serbian big, Fantasy players are recommended to follow the same path. Petrusev was solid in his new role in the domestic derby opposite Panathinaikos on Monday. Tagged at 9.7 units, an affordable range, we project him as a valuable asset moving deeper into the season.
In a similar approach to the injury of Sloukas, we are shifting to fellow Panathinaikos star Jerian Grant. Potentially, Kendrick Nunn can also be added to Fantasy squads. Besides the Greek guard, Luca Vildoza is out as well. The remaining backcourt options for head coach Ergin Ataman can be nice fits.
Also, picking up FC Bayern Munich boss Pablo Laso at five units, ahead of the meeting with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne is a safe option.
