Best EuroLeague Bets for Friday, Oct. 24

All odds for EuroLeague player props current as of 8:30 AM ET Friday.

PICKS TO CLICK

Rolands Smits 10+ Points (+159 DraftKings)

Per RotoWire's EuroLeague Injury Report, Vincent Poirier and Georgios Papagiannis are out for a while, Kai Jones will miss Round 6 and Ercan Osmani is questionable at best. That leaves Smits the main man in the post for Efes and presumably puts his playing time floor around 30 minutes if he avoids the fouls. It would be best to determine if Osmani will go, but I will be using the ladder strategy up to around 15+ points since Smits is able to get hot from several spots on the court.

Duane Washington Over 17.5 Points+Assists (-135 bet365)

This one's simple, but if you don't like it I don't mind chasing some Jabari Parker or Sterling Brown props. Partizan's usage leader, Carlik Jones -- and also Shake Milton -- will miss Friday's contest, leaving a major void in the backcourt. In similar spots last season, Washington stepped up and saw both the ball in his hands more frequently and an increase in the usage department.

Xavier Rathan-Mayes Over 7.5 Points (-108 FanDuel)

The pendulum has officially swung. I have been going after unders with Rathan-Mayes, but we're going over this time around. I don't like his props in double digits given how inconsistent of a scorer he is, but it's time to buy the dip. Bayern desperately needs a scorer at the point guard spot -- is it any surprise they brought in Spencer Dinwiddie? -- so the opportunities should be there Friday for a player who has both shot the ball and generally played below expectations of late.
