The next edition of the Greek Derby of the Eternal Enemies matches up Panathinaikos Aktor and Olympiacos at Telekom Center Athens on Friday.
In our EuroLeague Fantasy picks, we will focus exclusively on the Greens and Reds, trying to help you reach the full potential of the players on both teams with our tips.
Well, Shorts was great for Panathinaikos, while Grant put up 9.9 points, but combining him with the Dubai guard, who had 33 points, led to the correct moves.
Is Shorts back in our lineup for the derby?
The American guard was solid in Kaunas at a Performance Index Rating of 19, while in the first eternal derby of the season, opposite Olympiacos in Stoiximan GBL, he was the top player for his team with Kendrick Nunn sidelined.
The status of Sloukas will be decided in the next few days. Monitoring his situation is key because it will certainly impact the performance of Shorts as well.
Risking or not, Shorts seems like a good option for the derby.
A few weeks back, putting Cedi Osman in our EuroLeague Fantasy team was followed by the Turkish forward standing out in a winning streak of Panathinaikos.
Keep him, if you followed us and picked him too.
As for Olympiacos, we will refrain from risking anything but the top PIR players of the season, Nikola Milutinov and Sasha Vezenkov.
An important note here, Evan Fournier is tagged at only 9.9 credits, is coming off back-to-back showings with 21 points en route to 17.5 PIR per contest, and, overall, has been effective in road games against his side’s archrival.
Keep that in mind and give him a chance if there is an opening on your roster.
