Best EuroLeague Bets for Friday, Nov. 14
I'm not superstitious, but I am a little "stitious," and I've noticed that when I do a recap in the opener we've had better days, so here it goes.
We had the rotation rug pulled on us Thursday with our play of the day, Lonnie Walker IV, who was pacing well with nine points at halftime but for some reason did not play in the last 16 minutes of the game. Unfortunately these things happen and I will be way more cautious with Maccabi moving forward.
I couldn't stomach adding Devin Booker to the list below with how things have gone for us of late, but for those so inclined, I will be including him on my personal card with Zach LeDay and Josh Nebo sidelined.
Last but not least, I did take a long look at 9.5 points for Aleksa Avramovic, but with the fluidity in Dubai's backcourt and a tough matchup, it's best to fade in hopes of an off night that gives us a discount in one of the next two Rounds.
All odds for EuroLeague player props current as of 7:15 AM ET Friday.
PICKS TO CLICK
Spencer Dinwiddie Over 15.5 Points+Assists (-130 bet365)
It only took until his fourth game, but we finally have Dinwiddie props and I'm going to jump right on them. He has snagged a spot in the starting lineup and has been the clear alpha since landing in Bayern. Now, he gets a solid matchup against Efes where he could go dueling pianos with Shane Larkin. Dinwiddie had 16 points in the first half alone in Round 10, so we are banking on a player who can score in bunches and helps you keep hope alive all the way until the final whistle.
Aleksej Pokusevski 10+ Points (+250 bet365)
Pokusevski got the start in Round 10 and played 25 minutes -- and that was with Jabari Parker spending 10 minutes on the court. Parker -- per RotoWire's EuroLeague Injury Report -- will miss Round 11, which opens up the options for Pokusevski, who can play multiple positions. I would prefer to wait until tip-off to confirm he's listed on RotoWire's EuroLeague Lineups page, but anytime I can get these odds on Pokusevski with a 25-minute projection it seems advantageous.
Will Clyburn Under 13.5 Points (-115 bet365)
Kevin Punter Under 12.5 Points (-115 bet365)
Tomas Satoransky under 7.5 Points (-115 bet365)
Tornike Shengelia Under 12.5 Points (-115 bet365)
No, this is not a parlay, but hear me out here. Barcelona is as healthy as they have been all season, and their roster is plenty deep. Besides the players above, there are several others with the talent to command usage and minutes. Nicolas Laprovittola and Dario Brizuela like having the ball in their hands when on the court, Jan Vesely and Willy Hernangomez are both plenty capable of scoring, and even stretch forward Joel Parra and former NBA players Miles Norris -- even though he hasn't lately -- can get up shots. I just think things will be spread thin for Barcelona, and a matchup against a Virtus Bologna team that plays none too fast lends to a lower point total. The goal isn't to hit all four of these -- I do think that's within the real of possibility, though -- but if we get three of them we will come out ahead.
