Fantasy: Hines, the “hottest” center in the EuroLeague

By Dimitris Mitrantzas/ info@eurohoops.net
 
CSKA Moscow’s American center is in form, having an average ranking of 18,7 in his last three games, almost as many as another center that used to play in Olympiacos and now plays for Efes, Bryant Dunston. However, in the fantasy challenge it’s more about the value and so, Hines costs only 41,8 credits and is clearly more cost-efficient compared to Dunston, who costs 65,3 credits but whose performance of course lasts longer.
 
Three rounds before the end of the season and it’s hard to keep a balance, and it might be good to seek advice from the Eurohoops fantasy tool when making your changes, but also check the table below, which essentially supplies the tool’s predictions and gives the estimate for each player’s score.

So, let’s go ahead with this round’s changes. Luigi Datome was injured, Bogdanovic may return, so the options of Nunnally and Dixon don’t look so reliable. The experiment with Milutinov against Kuzmic didn’t pay off, so ahead of the game against Real it’s better to let him go.
 
Lastly, for the same exact reason, it’s better if we say goodbye to Ayon as well. Olympiacos’s key is usually well guarded and Real’s center will have a hard time finding room in which to act.
 
With 132,6 credits available, the selections are going to be made from the lower levels. Aside from Kyle Hines, who is consistent and can repeat a good performance against Unics, Diamon Simpson is another reliable option. Maccabi’s latest addition has had two very good games, is quite undervalued and is going to provide easy credits.
 
With 51,2 credits available, the last addition is going to be in the backcourt, a position for which consistent players aside from De Colo, Langford and Singleton are now wanted. Will Clyburn, then, looks in good condition, he consistently takes on a lot of attempts and his “ceiling” is very high. Galatasaray’s defense is not so effective, so he can make the difference.
 
Enjoy fantasy!
