While the players get ready to step up on the court, it’s time for managers to meet the moment as well in EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge powered by Ardu Prime. So, here are our recommendations before playoffs Game 5.

Walter Tavares, Real Madrid (16.6 credits) – It is a no-brainer. Tavares has been unstoppable lately, earning MVP of the Round honors in playoff Games 3 and 4 for Real. Over those two games – the road, no less, in elimination situations for his team – Tavares averaged 20.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and a PIR of 35.5. He is a must for all Fantasy managers.

Ioannis Papapetrou, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade (6.2 credits) – Kevin Punter will be back for Partizan in Game 5 but we think Papapetrou should play a big role in Madrid due to his versatility and experience. He had a PIR of 18 in Game 4, scoring 18 points. At just 6.2 credits, he is an interesting choice.

Tyler Dorsey, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (9.3 credits) – Dorsey stepped up last week and played really well against his former team. In Games 3 and 4, Dorsey averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 fouls drawn and a PIR of 17.0. If Fenerbahce wants to punch its Final Four ticket, it needs Dorsey at his best.

Moustapha Fall, Olympiacos Piraeus (11.8 credits) – Fall has been solid all season, and this is what you look for in this game. During the playoffs, Fall amassed a PIR of 18 or better three times, averaging 8.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. His size advantage should be important in Game 5.

Darrun Hilliard, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv (5.4 credits) – Another good player with a great price value, Hilliard has been playing really well in the playoffs. He averages 8.8 points on 50% three-point shooting, 2.2 rebounds and a PIR of 7.0 in the series. He had a PIR of 12 in Game 4, too.
