PICKS TO CLICK

Brancou Badio Over 7.5 Points (-114 FanDuel) 

I know Badio didn't work for us earlier this week, but I'm sticking with him. His shot rate hasn't been exceptional, but the minutes are there and he gets a great matchup against Maccabi. Last time out Lefteris Mantzoukas and Georgios Kalaitzakis played very well, but Badio is going to get going sooner rather than later. We're getting a discount here so let's roll with it again.

Tornike Shengelia Under 9.5 Points (-125 FanDuel) 

Alright I'll be honest here this has to be a trap or something I really don't understand this line . If Simone knows about an injury to Shengelia that's causing him to start the season in a much lesser role please tag me on Twitter. I however think this is just the role he'll have for this squad that has an absolutely loaded frontcourt. I think we'll be able to attack his overs once the injury bug bites Dubai but for now these unders will have to be hit. Like I always say, if Shengelia checks in and lights it up in his 15 minute role off the bench then we will take it to the chin . 

Patty Mills Under 14.5 Points (-118 FanDuel) 

I love Mills as much as the next guy and he did hit this over in the one close game AND this game should be very high paced but my personally opinion is this game is littered with guys who are listed having inflated props while the upside for guys who aren't even listed could light up the scoreboard eating into the usage for both teams. Also despite their fast pace Valencia does do a good job defending the perimeter and limiting easy shots . 

Armoni Brooks Under 12.5 Points (-118 FanDuel)

TJ Shorts Under 17.5 Points (-122 FanDuel) 

Kameron Taylor Under 14.5 Points (-180 FanDuel) 

Nate Reuvers Under 7.5 Points (-110 FanDuel) 

We did this last season with a couple teams when healthy, but Valencia has only one player averaging over 20 minutes and it's Shorts. The up-tempo game has the numbers inflated but I respect both defenses in this matchup enough to buy all the unders -- including rebounds, assists and threes for most of these players. I'm just hoping we don't see both teams go into triple digits.

As a reminder, this is NOT a parlay. I'm playing them all separately and simply hoping we wind up with more wins than losses. Brooks, Taylor and Reuvers all have rebound unders I like at very fair prices.
