We are looking for efficiency in our final EuroLeague Fantasy tips for 2025.
First of all, we rewind to last week and hope you trusted us, because then you should be happy with Cedi Osman, our main consideration.
The Turkish forward of Panathinaikos Aktor logged a generous Performance Index Rating of 18, attached to the win bonus behind the success of the Greens.
In contrast, our picks of Vincent Poirier and Pablo Laso of Anadolu Efes did not deliver, but we should not be unappreciative.
Moving on, we turn to Panathinaikos once more, because of… Sloukas.
An injury to the team captain, who we brought in a few weeks back, forces adjustments, and we select Jerian Grant over T.J. Shorts II.
Why?
Here are the two reasons…
- First, Grant has been on the rise recently, averaging a PIR of 12.3 over the last six games, and will definitely earn increased playing time, as confirmed by head coach Ergin Ataman
- Second, we prefer him over Shorts because he is reliable and costs much less. We will use only 8.8 Fantasy credits for Grant, and thus will be able to invest in the currently hottest EuroLeague player
Who is he?
McKinley Wright IV of Dubai.
Hold on here. The American guard is up to 29.8 PIR per contest over the last five games, packing 42 and 35 in his last two showings.
We expect value in taking 14.4 Fantasy credits from our budget, after having saved some from Grant.
