Best EuroLeague Bets for Friday, Jan. 16
We're taking positive steps with our EuroLeague picks, at least getting back into the winning category Thursday.
Elie Okobo and Matthew Strazel both missing on the hook is something you can hardly imagine, but that's life in the gambling space and I wouldn't expect anything less during a cold streak.
The show goes on.
All odds for EuroLeague player props current as of 9:15 AM ET Friday.
PICKS TO CLICK
Devon Hall Over 12.5 Points+Assists (-112 bet365)
He may have hurt us in Round 21, racking 11 points and assists early and then doing next to nothing the rest of the way despite finishing with 31 minutes, but I can't get away from the playing time in another pace-up game.
Fenerbahce is a bit shorthanded throughout the roster -- check out RotoWire's EuroLeague Injury Report -- so as long as he doesn't foul the playing time should be there again, and he does find the ball in his hands frequently.
Mario Hezonja 15+ Points (+149 DraftKings)
Death, taxes and Mario Hezonja in El Clasico. In each of the last four matchup with Barcelona in EuroLeague play Hezonja put at least 15 points on the board, and he averaged 18.3 ppg in those contests.
He gets up for this game, and as such, we can get him with some value. He probably will not see more than 25 minutes, but enough points should be put on the board that if he can just hit shots at usual rate or even catch fire we can get home at positive odds.
Nicolas Laprovittola 10+ Points (+140 DraftKings)
Don't boo me just yet. When we played him in Round 20 against Maccabi he delivered, and in the domestic game before that -- against Real Madrid -- he put 19 points on the board. We need him to start hot, because that's the key to both his game as a whole and his playing time.
Like Hezonja he seems to relish El Clasico, and I'm counting on both streaky scorers to bring it Friday and perhaps get into a little back-and-forth.
