Best EuroLeague Bets for Thursday, Oct. 16
All odds for EuroLeague player props current as of 7:30 AM ET Wednesday.
PICKS TO CLICK
Tornike Shengelia 12+ Points (-120 DraftKings)
We hit on his points+rebounds+assists on Tuesday, and the lopsided score and lack of minutes in a double-game week kept his point total in check, which works great for Thursday because it gives us a better number in that department. Points should put up in bunches in a game with a meager spread, which should lead to a competitive contest. Shengelia should see around 25 minutes, and I think the plan will be to go after Filip Petrusev and Mfiondu Kabengele and attempt to get them in foul trouble. Those two make things go for Dubai, and Shengelia can draw fouls with the best of them.
Frank Ntilikina Over 11.5 Points+Assists (-110 bet365)
It's evident Ntilikina is a more natural point guard than both Saben Lee -- who played an uninspiring 12 minutes Tuesday -- and Tyler Dorsey, which is what the Olympiacos system needs and is why Ntilikina nearly got 30 minutes his last time out. Evan Fournier, Keenan Evans, Thomas Walkup and Shaquielle McKissic all remain out, so expect Ntilikina and Dorsey to remain busy.
Armoni Brooks 8+ Points (-120 DraftKings)
Lorenzo Brown will sit out Thursday, and I'm overlooking a tough matchup against Zalgiris simply because someone besides Shavon Shields will have to score. I'm less confident in this play than the others above because Nico Mannion and Quinn Ellis could also grab some extra minutes, and I might consider them if they were available at any sportsbook. In our favor, Brooks is a better scorer than both, and Milan desperately needs someone to rack up the points. If you told me Brooks would get 25 minutes in Round 5 I would utilize the ladder strategy up to 15+ points.
OTHER PLAYS TO CONSIDER
Tyler Dorsey 15+ Points (+105 DraftKings)
Tarik Biberovic Points Ladder
Tarik Biberovic Over 1.5 Total Threes (+120 FanDuel)
Marko Guduric Over 2.5 Assists (+110 FanDuel)
Guduric had an eight-assist night last time Brown sat out, and he will be asked to run a lot of the offense Thursday along with Shields, who is generally a scoring-first player.
