As the 2025-26 EuroLeague Regular Season reaches its fever pitch, Round 34 presents a unique strategic headache for fantasy managers. Due to a schedule shift, Olympiacos already completed their fixture against Paris two weeks ago. For Fantasy rosters, this means the immediate, mandatory removal of the game’s two most reliable pillars, Sasha Vezenkov and Nikola Milutinov.
Replacing the league’s highest-valued player and its premier center requires a bold pivot toward high-ceiling alternatives. To fill the massive void left by Vezenkov, the market offers two elite, albeit expensive, options. While Chima Moneke remains a statistical powerhouse, Nigel Hayes-Davis is another alternative at 14.1 credits. Despite the steep price tags, they justify the investment for those hunting for a safe floor.
In the backcourt, we are doubling down on Matthew Strazel. Retaining the AS Monaco guard after last week’s productive outing looks like a wise move as he prepares to face Panathinaikos Aktor at the Telekom Center Athens on Friday. However, the most intriguing gamble of the week lies with Mathias Lessort. Currently priced at 12.1 credits, the Frenchman is still finding his rhythm following a lengthy injury layoff. His 17 PIR performance against Dubai suggests his physical dominance is returning. Betting on him is a classic momentum play to rediscover premier Fantasy form.
Finally, Partizan Mozzart Bet’s Carlik Jones is the must-have utility addition at 13 credits. Since returning from injury five rounds ago, he has been sensational, averaging an elite 20.6 PIR. With the Belgrade outfit hosting Valencia, a matchup favoring high-scoring guards, the stage is set for 28-year-old Jones to fuel your late-season push.
