EuroCup Semifinals Fantasy Tips for Game 3: A true challenge

For the most serious EuroCup Fantasy Challenge players, this week presents an unusual situation. A full round with only one game: Game 3 of the BKT EuroCup semifinals with Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse hosting Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul. Credits mean almost nothing. Those who have bought and sold players all season and thus increased the amount of credits in their wallets can potentially buy the most expensive coach, two most expensive centers and four most expensive players at both guard and forward and still have credits to spare! So there is no reason to hunt for bargains this week and the real question you should ask yourself when choosing your team is there you expect Bourg or Besiktas to win. Other than that, the questions about the players I am recommending here is: Can you afford not to have them?
Yigit Arslan, Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul (6.0 credits)
Arslan has not shot well in the semifinals, but he has shot, including a total of 9 three-point attempts and 5 free throws. He has averaged more than 21 minutes per game, too. The opportunity is there, assuming a few shots fall, for Arslan to put up big numbers at a very affordable price. You don’t want to overlook Arslan.
Angel Delgado, Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul (16.3 credits)
By far the most dominant player thus far in the series, Delgado has averaged 14.5 points on 68.4% shooting and 12.5 rebounds per game. Bourg can only hope to contain him, but stopping Delgado appears to be an impossible task. The only risk here is not owning Delgado.
Axel Julien, Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse (6.8 credits)
Bourg’s second-string point guard has been effective in both games, putting up a PIR of 13 in the opener and 7 in Game 2. The big difference between those outings was that he shot 6 times at home and once in Istanbul. Look for him to play more comfortably at Ekinox in Game 3 and give back a nice return on the investment.
Jequan Lewis, Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse (9.3 credits)
Somewhat quietly, Lewis has been second on the team in both points scored (12.5 ppg.) and average PIR (16) in the semifinals. He is playing consistent minutes and, like many players in this series, played better at home than on the road, which bodes well for him this week.
