Round 29 finishes off with four games today. Yesterday's guard slate was more loaded, but this one might be deeper. Five of them are still over $10k. Keep an eye on the status of Shane Larkin. I wont pay that much for him either way, but if he's out, Vasa Micic should be in every build. We'll cover the rest of the injury news as well.
Alexey Shved wasn't ruled out until about an hour before lock yesterday, so make sure you keep up on the status of guys like Larkin and Arturas Gudaitis. Shved was still almost 5% owned yesterday. It is worth noting that Piraeus is going to be thin inside again. Hassan Martin and Kostas Papanikolaou are out again. There's the value that we need on this slate! Let's take a look at who to pay for with that value.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy EuroLeague lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/11/21. I’ll be providing multiple player suggestions for players at guard, forward, and center, aiming to highlight one option apiece at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Guards
Nando de Colo, Fenerbahce ($11,900)
Nando has scored 20 actual points in five straight rounds and hasn't been under 30 DraftKings points in six weeks. He has the best floor out of anyone on the slate. Better floors are harder to find in EuroLeague if you're just dabbling in here waiting for the NBA tonight. Nando doesn't have the upside that Vasilije Micic has, but he's more of a sure thing. That said, if Shane Larkin is out, Micic becomes the best play on the slate. The good news about that is there is enough value to use both Nando and Micic in the same line. More on that later.
Lorenzo Brown, Fenerbahce ($8,400)
Brown has reclaimed his starting role beside Nando with Marko Guduric sidelined. Brown is producing close to what he did earlier in the year. His ceiling is lower since Nando is putting on a scoring clinic like in his Spurs days in the NBA. I expect people to go after the Piraeus and Kaunas backcourts on this slate. Stacking a short-handed Fenerbahce backcourt against Valencia could provide some nice leverage for GPP formats. Running Brown with Micic is also a good way to sneak one good forward into your lineup without having to punt everything else and still getting exposure to Fenerbahce.
Austin Hollins, St. Petersburg ($6,000)
This is a great matchup for the entire St. Petersburg backcourt. Hollins is the cheapest one that plays good minutes and his production is very near what you'll get from Kevin Pangos lately. Pangos has a lot more upside, but value pieces that don't kill your lineup will be the key to this slate. Hollins is one of the safer ones. Billy Baron is a solid piece too if you want to slide him in the UTIL slot, but it's going to be hard to use both of them together with all of the nice guard options today. Just keep in mind that K.C. Rivers could return and steal some minutes from Baron and Hollins.
Also consider: Pierria Henry, Vitoria-Gasteiz ($9,000); Krunoslav Simon, Efes ($7,700); Sam Van Rossom, Valencia ($7,300)

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Forwards
Jan Vesely, Fenerbahce ($10,800)
I'm not too concerned with Vesely's off game against Villeurbanne last week. We knew it was coming. Villeurbanne has allowed the least fantasy points to forwards on the season. Vesely gets to follow that up with the team that has allowed the second-most points to forwards. Vesely put up 26.5 DraftKings points in 25 minutes against Valencia in the first meeting. The good news here is that Vesely hasn't played less than 30 minutes in a game since January. The ceiling is high enough for him to anchor a lineup today. Dyshawn Pierre is a great play as well if you're going for a more balanced build.
Bojan Dubljevic, Valencia ($9,200)
Dubljevic came out of the gates firing on all cylinders this year, but his bout with COVID wasn't a good one. He missed a month and clearly wasn't back up to speed when he did return. We have seen Dubljevic getting close to his early form of late. Two of his three double-doubles on the season have come in his last four games. His price was up into five figures before his COVID bout, so getting him at this price feels like a bit of a discount. I'm not sure what his ceiling is, but the floor is at least safe enough to build on now. It wasn't for nearly two months.
Livio Jean-Charles, Piraeus ($6,500)
The absences of Martin and Papanikolaou have catapulted Sasha Vezenkov into the stratosphere and his price right along with it. Personally, the price on Vezenkov is too high. Jean-Charles is a better fit for my lineup. I would rather spend up on other players. Jean-Charles has averaged a shade over 20 DraftKings points per game with Papanikolaou out. I'll take 20 for this price.
Also consider: Sasha Vezenkov, Piraeus ($10,600); Rokas Giedraitis, Vitoria-Gasteiz ($7,900); Sertac Sanli, Efes ($7,300); Kyle O'Quinn, Fenerbahce ($6,000)
