Here comes another double-round week in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. The closer we get to the play-in, the more important double-round weeks become as we head towards the home stretch of this exciting 2023-24 season.
The same can be said about the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge, as managers have less time to think things through. I have some recommendations across different price ranges to help you in your private leagues and in the overall standings in Rounds 24 and 25.
Johnathan Motley, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (12.5 credits)
Due to Fenerbahce's current injury circumstances, Motley has been seeing a lot of extra playing time at power forward. In Round 23 against Virtus Segafredo Bologna, Motley had 23 points on 9-of-12 two-pointers, 11 rebounds, 7 fouls drawn and a PIR of 29 in over 28 minutes. Expect Motley to keep his momentum going in this double-round week.
Keenan Evans, Zalgiris Kaunas (15.8 credits)
Evans has been rock-solid in the two last months, getting a PIR of 13 or higher in each of his last 10 games. In that stretch, Evans had a PIR higher than 20 six times, peaking at 38 against Partizan Mozzart Bet BElgrade. Moreover, Zalgiris plays twice at home this week, allowing Evans to feel even more comfortable. What's not to like?
Luke Sikma, Olympiacos Piraeus (7.7 credits)
With Moustapha Fall and Nikola Milutinov sidelined, Sikma is seeing more playing time as a small-ball center, a role he mastered at ALBA for several seasons. In Round 23 against Real Madrid, Sikma had season highs of 10 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and a PIR of 17 in 24 minutes of action. This week, Sikma is likely to see extended playing time once again.
Mbaye Ndiaye, LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (5.8 credits)
ASVEL has been playing better of late and is coming off a road victory against FC Bayern Munich. Ndiaye played a big role in that win as he came off the bench and posted 6 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and a PIR of 22. He followed that up with a solid performance in the French League with 10 points and a PIR of 14. He’s available for less than 6.0 credits, so I think he’s a good option at this price.
Lorenzo Brown, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv (12.7 credits)
Brown had a really good performance in a winning effort against a red-hot Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens last week. He finished the game with 14 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and a PIR of 19. Brown already played well against Real, its Round 24 opponent, earlier in the campaign, getting 16 points, 9 rebounds and a PIR of 24. You know what you’re getting with Brown, and I recommend him to all EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge managers.
