PICKS TO CLICK
Jordan Loyd Over 12.5 Points (-120 FanDuel)
Jordan Loyd 15+ Points (+149 DraftKings)
Sportsbooks have adjusted to the absence of Shane Larkin -- listed on RotoWire's EuroLeague Injury Report -- and the numbers for Nick Weiler-Babb and Isaia Cordinier are through the roof. However, there are a few lines I don't think they got high enough, and these are two of them.
Weiler-Babb and Cordinier will definitely get a usage boost and both have popped in the scoring column already, but filling the alpha role comes naturally for Loyd, and I don't think he will be shy Thursday. He isn't the most efficient player, but if his first few shots fall I think he will keep getting them up -- and frequently at that. Responsible ladders are in play here.
Ercan Osmani Over 12.5 Points (-105 FanDuel)
Osmani has had big-time usage this season, and his numbers have not really accounted for Larkin's absence. I believe he could benefit in the shot rate department, and the upside is there, as he just dropped 22 points in a domestic game and is averaging what is easily a career-best 12.5 points -- fittingly enough -- in EuroLeague play.
Johnathan Motley 10+ Points (-118 DraftKings)
Dan Oturu Over 11.5 Points (+105 bet365)
Let me paint a picture for you real quick. For Milan, Devin Booker, Josh Nebo and Ousmane Diop are all out, and Zach LeDay and the undersized Nate Sestina are uncertain. The Italian team simply has no one of size available for Round 12 -- check for yourself on Milan's depth chart -- outside of Bryant Dunston, who is 39 years old and certainly doesn't move like he used to.
The timing couldn't be worse, as Hapoel is having success utilizing the athletic big-man duo of Motley and Oturu, who can stick with some guys on the perimeter and both stay on the court when opponents go small. With the noticeable advantage on the interior, I'm loading up on as many Motley and Oturu props as I can.
